Kiehl’s earns largely positive reviews for gentle, reliably hydrating formulas that suit sensitive skin and deliver visible results from staples like Ultra Facial Cream, Midnight Recovery Concentrate, Avocado Eye Cream, and Crème de Corps; however, reviews also flag inconsistent “wow” factor, heavy or greasy textures for some, limited SPF in certain moisturizers, and concerns around natural-ingredient profile and plastic packaging. Overall, Kiehl’s is good if you want comfortable, classic skincare with standouts in hydration and hand care, but performance varies across categories and some users prefer more advanced or cleaner formulas.

A game-changer for active hands! I wash my hands constantly and work with my hands a lot. This is the only hand cream I've found that instantly soothes dryness without making my palms slippery. It acts like an invisible protective glove. It’s a bit of an investment, but a tiny dab goes a long way, and nothing repairs severe dryness like this.

Kiehl’s has been around since the 1800s. I find it astonishing any business can be that old. Their products are pretty great though. Nothing beats their hand cream. This formula delivers 0.3 percent pure retinol held in a sealed capsule of powder. You twist the capsule onto the bottle once. Then press a button to release the powder into the liquid base and shake to activate. This is fresh retinol at full potency. I felt it works to give the skin a smoother texture and thought I looked better without makeup than usual. It’s easy to layer. However, there are same level retinols out there for less.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser is a great go- to cleanser for daily use. I’ve gotten numerous samples of it over the years and always find it nice to take with me while traveling, especially when some places I go are dry and others aren’t. It’s dependable, works well without drying out my skin.

I received this eye cream as a gift. It is thick, creamy, smells fine, and easy to apply. A little bit of this avocado cream goes a long way/ you don’t need much. My skin does feel smooth and silky afterwards. I haven’t noticed any significant benefit besides it being a great moisturizer so I don’t think I would spend the money on it if you were looking for an eye cream to target wrinkles or other problems.
