I really enjoy this Khiels barrier restore cream. I get very dry irrrtated skin in the winter so alternate between this and the Dieux Instant angel cream. A good option if you suffer from dry or sensitive skin.

Kiehl’s earns largely positive reviews as reliably effective—standouts like Ultra Facial Cream, Midnight Recovery Concentrate, Crème de Corps, Facial Fuel, and Avocado Eye Cream hydrate, smooth texture, and revive winter-parched skin—yet the brand draws criticism for heavy textures on some products, strong sunscreen scent, and inconsistent results for acne or eye concerns. Reviews also flag lower “natural” ingredient rankings and frequent comments about high cost, while praising long-wear hydration, gentle formulas for sensitive skin, iconic scents like Musk, and giftable classics.

Love love love the avocado eye cream for the winter! It’s thick enough without being overly thick and it brightens up my under eyes so well! I love the look and feel of the cream and it’s always something I repurchase when my under eyes need a little more oomph

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.
