I have known about Kiehl’s as long as I can remember. I have seen the stores, passed the section in department stores throughout my life. I never realized the history of Kiehl’s. Kiehl’s has been around since 1851. It’s first store was on 3rd Ave & East 13th Street in Manhattan. It was one small pharmacy that has grown into a national brand with more than 250 stores all over the world. It’s parent company is Loreal. Loreal purchased Kiehl’s in 2000. Kiehl’s is a cosmetics brand that specializes in premium skin, hair, and body care products for men & woman. The brand success is in part because of their simple packaging & their large male clientele. Recently, I tried two of their products & was pretty impressed with both. Super Fluid UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ 1.7 fl. oz-50 ml MSRP $38.00
I have had skin cancer & precancerous cells on my skin so I am a fanatic when it comes to sunscreens. I had a trip recently to Puerto Rico & bought the Kiehl’s Sunscreen with me. I liked the fact that the formula was light, non greasy & went on easy. The product is Oil-Free, Fragrance Free, Paraben Free & Color Free. It’s also water resistant for 80 minutes & one of it’s ingredients is Vitamin E to help prevent free radical damage. The truth is in the trial & it worked wonderfully. My face did not get burnt as it usually does no matter how much sunscreen I slather on. I was very happy that it kept the sun away & I am going to see if they have a product similar for my whole body. The $38.00 price was definitely worth it as this sunscreen has the best protection I have ever used. It also comes in a 4.2 fl oz bottle for $61.00
The second product I tried was Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate. This comes in 3 sizes:
1.7 fl oz for MSRP $60.00
2.5 fl oz for MSRP $79.00
3.4 fl oz for MSRP $!02.00
This is a powerful anti-wrinkle treatment with 10.5% Pure Vitamin C. As most of you might realize as you age your skin unfortunately shows more imperfections, especially wrinkles & lines. I for one hate it & will try practically anything noninvasive to prevent it. This product is a customer favorite & It claims to reduce wrinkles & lines while improving the overall look of the texture, tone & radiance of the skin. It also works to exfoliate the skin while giving it antioxidant protection. I used this product for the last couple of weeks & do notice some improvements. I like the texture of this serum & I feel as though it is working the minute it touches my skin. This is a product that I will continue to use & most likely see more great results. I definitely feel it is worth the investment as a lottreatments that reduce lines & wrinklescost hundreds of dollars. For a non invasive solution this is a great value. My experience with Kiehl’s thus far has been excellent. I know why they have been in business for 166 years.
