Kiehl's

What are your thoughts on their products. Personally: Facial Fuel energising moisturiser: Nice cooling and awakening effect, but not great for moisture. I often use another moisturiser along with this. Cryste Marine Serum: A decent moisturiser, but I don't notice any firming effect as it claims. Abyssyne Lotion: I'm not old, so I guess this a bad buy... It's still a decent moisturiser. Lip Balm 1: Good lip balm Soothing Gel mask: Feels nice, and skin feels smoother. Although no visual improvement to skin. Drawing paste: Great for stubborn blackheads. Lavender and sea minerals foaming bath: Good, but too expensive for bath. It also makes a good hand wash, and is nice to use in the shower too. Amino Acid shampoo: Suits my hair, gives it a good finish. Tea tree oil shampoo: I use this after the gym, good for cutting sweat on the scalp. Apricot and pineapple face scrub: Seems to be kinder but not as efficient on my skin as the Biotherm Homme scrub I have (I have a coarse beard so I use a scrub a lot to lift hairs before a shave). Lite flight brush shaving cream: Nice rich lather, can clog razor, which my Aqua di Parma and Truffet & Hill shave creams do not do, but then again I guess that's the price to pay for better protection of the skin. Shave oil: Sometimes I use a layer of this under my shave cream, it improves my skin visually quite a bit, and I also get a closer shave, this is perhaps the most effective product. Men's alcohol free toner: I don't know about this, it seems to have powerful ingredients, but yet does not tighten my face in the same way an alcohol based toner/after-shave would. Soothing nourishing face cream for men: Does what it says on the tin.

A timely thread - I was just about to order a bunch of products to try out.

> Lite flight brush shaving cream

Not the best I've tried, but okay. I don't have the clogging issue, but I use a double edge razor. The camphor and menthol can make for an awful scent first thing in the morning, but gets quite nice after a few minutes.

> Lip Balm 1

I bought this by accident when the idiot sales clerk at Barney's was supposed to give me a vial of one of their eye creams instead. Not bad, but not significantly better than Carmex.

> Ultra Facial Cream

Works very well on my skin, and does not leave oil residue.

> Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

Seems to work okay, though I've only had a sample pack and could not try it for a long period of time.

> Light, Nourishing Eye Cream

I didn't see any results with this one. The heavy avocado one worked much more nicely for me.

I'm all about it yo. Kind of addicted to Kiehl's actually... Papaya Scrub: It's light and super amazing if you don't over use it and remember to leave it on for at least a minute after you're done exfoliating. Ultimate Hand Salve: Can't get enough of this. It's not oily but good since I'm a compulsive hand washer and end up with cracked/dry hands. Ultra Moisturizer (non-spf): Much creamier and thicker than the SPF15 version, which is good because it's not runny... I enjoy the consistency a lot more than the SPF version which I had originally grown accustomed to.

A variety of the Facial Fuel products, and maybe 1 or 2 of the shampoo types.

Do people look better because they use these products?

With some of them maybe. I can get by with lesser priced products from other companies, but they usually have side effects that I don't enjoy.

I like their Rare-Earth facial masque and their Sodium PCA moisturizer quite a bit. I've tried some of their other stuff and was pretty satisfied. It's fairly expensive, but it is actually effective in my experience and I like that there isn't much fragrance to any of it.

You guys in the US have it good... Something like the facial fuel moisturiser in the UK costs £25 about $50.

I have never been impressed with any of the Kiehl's products. They did not work well for my sensitive skin.

I can vouch for the facial fuel range. The scrub always makes my face look so fresh when I use it prior to a shave then moisturise well.

Been using their Shampoo for quite sometime now and I couldn't go back to something from the local store...

I love the Amino Acid shampoo. Smells like summer vacation: coconut and coppertone.

I also use the White Eagle shave cream, after-shave toner and the thick facial moisturizer. Seems to work well for me. I really haven't used anything else for the past ten years.

I've tried a lot of their products over the years and have never found anything that I wanted to work into my daily regime or even a regular rotation. I find Clinique face scrub and M lotion to be far better than anything Kiehl's has in their line.
