What the brand claims
In the brand’s own words, quoted as written.
“Formulated in 1964, Blue Herbal Astringent Lotion is a long-standing Kiehl’s staple designed to soothe and balance oily or blemish-prone skin. Enriched with Camphor, Menthol, and Sodium PCA, it can be applied to the entire face or targeted to specific areas, offering a refreshing sensation and helping to maintain skin’s natural balance. Originally created for oily skin, it is also used by men as an aftershave treatment and is widely recognized by its nickname, “the Blue Stuff.””
