As an avid skincare junkie, I’m always on the hunt for effective yet affordable products. One line that consistently delivers is Kiehl’s. In this video, I highlight some of their most iconic formulas that have transformed my skin over time.
Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque - Detoxifying Mask
When pores seem clogged, I turn to this 3-in-1 masque. The blend of volcanic ash and clays visibly tightens pores and refines texture after 10 minutes of wear. Skin feels baby smooth post-wash and stays clearer longer between uses.
When impurities seem high, I love this 3-minute treatment. Volcanic ash and white clay visibly refine pores and control oil. Skin is left silky smooth post-wash.
In only 3-5 minutes of wear time, this mask really sucks out impurities from pores and leaves skin noticeably tighter. I like to use it 1-2 times a week in my evening routine for clearer skin by morning.
Micro-Dose Retinol Serum
This feather-light serum smooths fine lines with a gentle 0.5% retinol formula. As someone new to retinoids, it helped me build tolerance without irritation. Skin looks noticeably plumper.
This serum is great for beginners starting a retinol routine, as the 0.5% concentration is low enough to avoid irritation but still provides anti-aging benefits. It has a quick-absorbing gel texture that leaves no greasy residue.
Ultra Facial Cream
A little of this creamy dream hydrates my face for 24 hours. Infused with coconut and squalane oils, it soothes dry patches but never clogs pores. My skin drinks it right in. In addition to hydrating, this moisturizer also provides a good amount of sun protection with SPF 15. The squalane and coconut oil give it a richer formula that some with very dry skin may prefer over a lighter lotion.
Super Multi-Correct Eye & Avocado Eye Creams
Switching between these rich under-eye creams helps de-puff and fade dark circles. One targets lines and wrinkles while the other soothes with avocado.
These complement each other well – I use the retinol-based Super Multi during the day underneath makeup for its brightening actives, and switch to the soothing Avocado formula at night. Both target different under-eye issues.
Super Multi-Correct Eye Cream
This anti-aging eye cream packs a powerful punch of peptides, caffeine and vitamin C to brighten, firm and reduce the look of undereye puffiness and dark circles. I love how quickly it absorbs without any tacky residue. Within a few weeks, I noticed my under eyes looking more lifted and lines appearing softened. As someone in their 30s starting to see signs of aging, this cream is helping maintain my youthful appearance. I use it during the day before makeup as the formula plays well with most products. It provides just the right amount of hydration without being heavy or creasing. The cooling metal applicator also feels very relaxing as I smooth it on. Overall, this corrective eye cream is delivering real results to combat my main concerns.
Avocado Eye Cream
When my under eyes feel extra tired, dry or sensitive, this ultra-hydrating formula soothes on contact. Infused with avocado and jojoba oils, it intensely moisturizes without irritation. I turn to the Avocado Eye Cream in the evening as part of my wind-down ritual. Within a week of consistent use, the dry, flaky patches that occasionally plague my eyelids were gone. Any puffiness or redness is reduced as well. While it doesn’t have the brightening actives of the Super Multi, this cream calm and conditions the delicate eye area. The creamy texture massages on effortlessly, never leaving behind a sticky feeling. Both it and my skin absorb it all overnight so I wake up to baby soft undereyes. This cream remains a dependable go-to whenever extra TLC is needed.
These select Kiehl’s favorites have become irreplaceable in maintaining my skin’s hydration, clarity and elasticity over time. They work well for my needs and all at reasonable price points. They effectively deliver active ingredients without being overly drying or harsh. Everything sinks in quickly for a non-greasy finish. The brand has also been around for over 150+ years so their products can be trusted for quality and safety.
