Here is my review of KIEHL’S STAPLE PRODUCTS !

Kiehl’s has been around for so long, yet I had hardly heard about it. It’s also tucked away in the back corner of my Nordstrom often looking neglected compared to the MAC counter directly beside it. I discovered Kiehl’s about a year ago when I was having issues with dryness under my eyes. A MAC makeup artist actually recommended the brand to me. Since then two items have become staples in my skin care routine and so I figured they deserved honorable mentions. The MMA recommended the Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado for my under eye dryness. This immediately became a must have for me! Anyone suffering from under eye dryness can benefit from this. It’s enriched with shea butter and avocado oil and delivers moisture and antioxidants to your delicate under eye area. Of course moisturizing your skin helps to prevent wrinkles, however, this cream focuses solely on that and doesn’t have a strong focus on fighting signs of wrinkles. I often alternate using another anti-aging eye cream. This would also be perfect for younger women who want to PREVENT signs of aging, rather than fight them once they have already occurred. The moisturizer is thick, yet not tacky, and does take a couple of minutes to settle into your skin. Although most people only use it at night, depending on how dry my skin is, I do use it under my concealer and I find it helps it blend easily. Because it’s so thick, you literally need the smallest dab to feel the quick release of hydration. This cream has literally saved my eyes from the painful itchy dryness I once had. The price is $27 for 0.5 oz which lasts about 7-9 months, but frankly, I’d pay more for it if I had to!

My next staple discovery was Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Prior to receiving samples from my Kiehl’s counter (which lasted a VERY long time!), I had tried Lancôme Youth Activator – GÉNIFIQUE. I found the exact same results in Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate, yet with a cheaper price tag (always a bonus). 
The night serum claims to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance, maintain elasticity, stimulate skin repair, soften, brighten, and detoxify, all while using natural ingredients such as lavender, rosemary, geranium, and rose essential oils. Sounds very promising, right? I never believe anything; therefore I did my own test the good old fashion way, free samples! Like I said before, the samples lasted a long time! I had about 4 packets and all together, I received about a month worth of applications. Now, I’m a FIRM believer in Kiehl’s products and I’m shocked at how little attention they get!
The serum is easy to apply; the packaging is also impressive because the doppler has a release button up top which allows you control the serum to prevent a messy situation. It has helped to clear up a couple of acne scars, it provides a boost of intensive moisture to my depleted skin and I wake up with hydrated, supple, soft skin.
