Kiehl’s is a heritage brand that has been trusted for centuries. Imagine, the original Kiehl’s apothecary served patrons at the corner of 13th Street and Third Avenue in New York City in 1851. That makes them 168 years old this year! Apart from the longstanding history of the brand, Kiehl’s revolutionized skincare by offering their first brand product (the Original Musk Oil, which is their signature scent); promoting their motto: Try Before You Buy, which popularized a distribution of sample products for customers to try at home; and proudly listing ingredients on its product labels before the U.S. government mandated it. Kiehl’s products have been known to be revolutionary, effective, as well as simple and easy to use. Their range of products will be sure favorites to receive this holiday season.
5 PROTECT From the Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions line, Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ High Protection contains advanced UVA/UVB Technology and Anti-pollution Protection that has been known to prevent first signs of aging. It has a lightweight formula suited for all skin types. It is also paraben-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and is oil-free.
Overall, we can’t get enough of how simple skincare is made when you’re in Kiehl’s. For instance, when you visit any Kiehl’s store, the brand offers a skin check wherein the sales associate uses a Skin Barrier Tab to determine your skin type and from there they will know what products are suitable to your needs. Everything is categorized by skin type and condition, and their knowledgeable staff can surely help address any skin needs.
Kiehl’s offers a simplified step-by-step route to skincare.
1 CLEANSE Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser is a mild cleanser that is ideal for everyday use. It is specially formulated with sugar-derived glycoside foaming agent to thoroughly cleanse skin and remove makeup without overdrying or stripping skin of its natural oils. This is suited for all skin types, so this should be a great gift as it will surely be used every day.
2 TONE While most tend to skip the toner, for the Kiehl’s skincare routine this is an essential step. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner refines skin’s surface texture while providing the preparation for the serum and moisturizer. It contains effective emollients like Squalene, Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, and Vitamin E.
4 MOISTURIZE One of their bestselling moisturizers, Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream is a 24-hour hydrating cream that helps keep skin comfortable and visibly well-balanced, particularly in harsh weather. For instance, it protects skin from cold temperatures as well as dry and hot climates. An essential product.
3 SERUM After toning, applying a powerful serum can help boost the skin’s moisture and bring back its youthful glow. Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate is made with 12.5% Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid. These are beneficial to the skin and works as an anti-aging product.
