Kiehl's Reviews

4.2

Kiehl’s earns largely positive reviews for gentle, reliable hydration across sensitive and diverse skin types, with standouts like Ultra Facial Cream, Midnight Recovery Concentrate, Crème de Corps, Avocado Eye Cream, and Ultimate Strength Hand Salve; however, reviewers flag heaviness in some formulas, mixed anti‑aging performance, plastic-heavy packaging, and frequent complaints about high pricing and less “clean” ingredients. Kiehl’s is good if you want dependable basics, soothing masks, and nostalgic scents like Musk, but look elsewhere for potent actives, ultra-light textures, or strictly natural formulations.

    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.

    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.

    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
