BEST & WORST of Kiehl's Skincare!

IMPORTANT: I forgot to mention that this brand may not be optimal for people seeking natural ingredients. Some products contain ingredients such as parabens, some don't - check ingredients if this is a concern for you.
Also, correction: Kiehl's compares the PREVIOUS generation of the men's cream to the Super multi-corrective cream (I found this in their comments to people who were unhappy with the updated generation).

This is great info! Thanks so much for your time and investment in reviewing these products! I have the calendula toner, but I think I'm going to go with the other one next time.

I recently discovered kiehl's and fell in love. I have acne prone skin with a dark spots. And I'm trying to figure out my skin routine with kiehl's. I'm having the same experience with you on the avacado eye creme. Thank you for your video I love how much knowledge you have please don't be afraid to share! 🖤

[@sukzma73]

Hi may I know which range unuse for acne prone skin with dark spots? Thanks in advance

[@stevenmeredith7524]

Great review! I use their products for my core skincare everyday and I agree with a lot of what you said. I’ll keep coming back for more knowledge as i grow since I’m a just skincare newbie ❤️

[@robyn1128]

I'm the same way. When I'm in a rush, I tend to overdue my skincare..it's like you said, I have to remind myself to use less. 🤔 Thanks for the review, Alice! 😁

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Right I have no idea why it's easier to apply more than less lol!

[@tasmeena]

Amazing review. Everything here was so well considered. Really appreciate this.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thanks for watching!

[@kimaceves-beltran4383]

Your honesty and knowledge are appreciated! What we come to know in life is that the strong prey on the weak...”the strong” being companies who overprice products to the unknowing masses (not saying we’re weak but as consumers sometimes we are cuz we just don’t know about certain things). Having someone like you, coming from the background u do, who is sharing your experience is friggin awesome. Educating others is what makes a community great, the more aware we are the stronger we will be together even if that means keeping each other from buying crap 😂

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It's a tough balance because I understand the appeal of luxury as well, and I respect that space. But I think that's kind of why the prices on certain products here bothered me! If your brand chooses mid-range (which is what I would call Kiehl's), then I feel the pricing should be consistent across the board. Haha I might be rambling, but yeah. I end up feeling, "is this aloe mask really from the same brand as the vitamin C?!?"

[@kimaceves-beltran4383]

Seriously! Challenging to find brands that are consistent and trustworthy. Selling a product that is A+ but in the same line as one double the price that has garbage ingredients. Or making something we swear by but then discontinuing it and replacing it with something that couldn’t compare. Things like that make us all scratch our heads. Rants & rambling are essential, you’re saying what we’re all thinking or may think. Lol besides compromising your skin for review purposes I’d expect nothing less, good or bad. You keep it real and are my go-to on KZbin, we share the same skin type. I’m just learning about skincare and how to use products efficiently. Luxury brands are tempting on face value alone (prestigious name, pretty packaging, sales lol) its tough to stay away.

[@rebeccadarling5894]

I am one of the peeps that asked for this and I felt a little shot of fear clicking in (bias bias bias!) because the line is mostly misses with one notable win. I love their C so much and I’m so pleased (and strangely relieved) that you do too! I’ll try a couple of your other favs soon.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh yes, I think you even mentioned that one by name! I was hesitant since a month ago, I still was dealing with sensitivity - even my former favorite C serums were too much. This one was such a great find!

[@AliceinSilverland]

I have been enjoying Kiehl’s Glow Formula Skin Hydrator (I got it in the last Glossybox). For me it is great on no makeup days. It blurs imperfections because of the slight tint, and provides somewhat of a glow. It reminds me of Origins Vitazing Moisturizer. Thanks for the video! I like these brand specific reviews a lot.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊

[@EatMyShortzz]

I use mostly kiehls. Some clinique. And a cheap brand called Bull Dog for men. I’m excited to find your channel. I’m obsessed with skincare. I like the idea of putting that white toner in a spray bottle. I just purchased this. I used to use the men’s tonic.

[@VeronicaBabey]

[@connieeverdeen1889]

thank u so much for this video, i needed! 🙌

[@wendyraye]

Up vote - I need nitpicking on skincare. It’s SO expensive for the name or packaging. I’d rather spend 💰 on something that has good ingredients and is effective than something with fragrance and ordinary irritating ingredients - who wants to try everything that could cause breakouts too? I used Becca First Light primer ONCE and woke up with 5 or 6 bumps. It happened before but I figured since I break out less now it wouldn’t cause that again - I have no idea what’s in it, but it’s bad for me. Let me know if you know what it could be. 👍

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

That's the problem with the word "fragrance" - since fragrance is legally protected, it's the one part of the ingredients list that we can't comb through and figure out potential issues (Backlight Priming Filter does have it). It leaves me so flustered when a scented product breaks me out!

[@kpt715]

I work for Kiehl’s and I agree with you on most opinions. My favorite thing to do with the youth dose eye is to cocktail it with the avocado. I found I get the pro retinol benefits as well as the luxurious texture of avocado eye. The glow formula is great for men who want a touch of radiance but for most women it’s not high enough impact due to the high saturation of glow products on the market. The bonus of it is the antioxidant protection so we like to market it with the vitamin c and the daily oil. You might like the new pure vitality moisturizer, the super multi eye and the cannabis Sativa seed oil.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thank you for the explanation! That makes sense with the glow product. And I can see how mixing those two eye creams works for both day or night. Good solution!

[@artix123456789]

I heard that they changed the Blue Herbal Spot Treatment and that most people don't find it effective as it used to be? I used to have bad acne but that helped me clear up my acne 3 years ago. I'm scared to rebuy it cause I heard they have a new formula. Thoughts?

[@kpt715]

Joyce Wu The formula of it is fine but it also depends on what kind of breakouts you have. If they’re surface, the blue herbal is great. If it’s more cystic, the sulfur one is really nice. Implementing retinol into my routine has helped me a lot with bumps underneath my skin as well.

[@WalkGood]

absolutely subscribed based off this video. I love how in depth this review is I am a fan of these products but knowing about the ingredients will absolutely determine how i'll go about purchasing later on. I am currently using the Sativa oil (love) and the Midnight oil also love have been sketchy about the moisturizers so this is great

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yeah I'm interested in trying their Sativa oil! I've been using another brands with great results! 😊

[@kobycramer771]

Hi, I basically live with a water slide on my face and acne prone skin and kiehls did it for me y’all. They cleared up 90% of my cystic acne. Anyways, just wanted to confirm the ultra moisturizer is really nice for oily skin!! 👌🏼

[@leighp4938]

I struggle with cystic acne, which products do you use? Appreciate any help :)

[@kobycramer771]

Leigh P I use the ultra cleanser and toner along with their vitamin c correcting serum (I’m not sure the exact name but it is something along those lines). The only thing that I use that isn’t kiehls is the dramatically different moisturizing gel by Clinique. That’s my go to. I tried the daily facial oil that kiehls has but it didn’t do exactly what the gel does for me.

[@leighp4938]

Thank you so much! I also use the Clinique moisturizer and I love it. I’m going to look into the correcting serum :D

[@kobycramer771]

Leigh P you’re so welcome!!!!!

[@Oneiropolos]

I love your honesty! It was your skincare videos that convinced me to start paying attention and figure out what things I could buy individually to lessen the fact that all moisturizers seemed to cause breakouts on me. Weirdly enough, it seems my face is not a huge fan of glycerin being left on from what I've ultimately been able to tell. I know it's supposed to be a safe ingredient but ultimately it's all I could narrow down. It's chill with it being in a cleanser, usually okay with mists - but a lotion that's left on or that sinks in? NOPE. Only if I want multiple whiteheads scattered randomly the next day! I have Oily/Combination skin and knew I needed I still needed a moisturizer because as you even say in this videos, ingredients balance each other out and if I'm treating all my acne, I risk pushing my skin the other way and depriving it. Squalane and hyaluronic acid separated from the rest have done an amazing job... and I don't think I'd have dared try them separate of a combined moisturizer if you hadn't emphasized in another video to look at ingredients and find what you like and what works for you. Now I can add and remove other things. So I adore your nitpicking. It reminds me to look at things analytically and decide if I should just buy something separate or if really think that combination will work. Otherwise I can get caught in the hype of reviews and make poor decisions. That Calendula cleansing foam is so tempting... Calendula is something I'm finding really effective for me. But right now I'm trying Murad's time release acne cleanser (Jury's still out, I don't know what to think, because I also think I'm stress breaking out at the moment, which is not fair to any cleanser) and Fab + Fit's glycolic cleansing every other day (retinol on days I don't use it, and honestly, it's seeming awesome? But again, tough time to tell)....so I really should wait on another cleanser. Damned tempting Calendula.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yeah, I definitely think it's possible for an ingredient that the majority can use to be a problem for some - that's skin for ya, it varies SO much!

I bought khiel's cucumber herbal toner today. Surprised to find out that their products, at least the toners and their most iconic moisturizers, were less expensive than paula's choice here. I bought the cucumber toner because I specifically need a toner or essence that hydrates but also cools down the skin (cucumber, aloe, thermal water, snail mucin filtrate kind of hydration and cooling/soothing), and my go to products were not in stock and I didn't want to buy from the body shop.

Definitely a great brand! ☺️

[@sandra.mendes279]

Uuuuh i was waiting for this

[@Diorchocol8girl]

The Calendula mask is a holy grail for me. It has to be something more than aloe and calendula. I was healing from dermatitis bumps and tried everything. I didn’t think this was going to work and planned on returning it without even opening it cause I changed my mind. But I said what the heck let me try if since it’s here. I left it on probably longer than I should have and when I washed it off the redness from the bumps were GONE and I swear some of the bumps were gone. I was staring at my face for so long still skeptical cause I couldn’t believe that this product out of everything else I tried worked. Definitely not returning

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh wow! Maybe calendula works extremely well for you? I have an undying love for snail mucin for the same reason haha. Or yeah, maybe something else - but it sure is a great feeling to find those very effective products!

Thank you Alice for this well elaborayed presentation. Congratulations for reaching tje 10,000.00 subscribers. May you have many, many more because you deserve it . I am using the cleansing oil and it is good for me as the first step in my cleansing routine and I will try the foam. For now I am using Japanese foams , mild and effective. It would be interesting to find out what you think about the " upper echalon" of this brand, i.e the Retrouve . I bought the eye cream and the serum. They also sell an introductory set for $ 25.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yeah, I'd like to do some more luxury reviews, but it really requires me to think differently. I respect the space - if you've worked hard and profited, and if skincare is what you enjoy, then I think luxury skincare can be a lovely way to reward yourself! But it's still a balance to discuss it, because I never want to portray "if you DON'T use luxury skincare, your skincare routine will never be at it's full potential." I see it very much like luxury handbags. You can certainly carry your belongings in a Walmart bag and get them from Point A to Point B. But if you want to indulge, by all means, do it! Neither is superior in utility, but the luxury handbag may represent an achievement of success to the buyer (which is awesome! But .. sometimes judged or envied, sadly.) I think that latter point is why it becomes so tricky to discuss!

[@carmenmason6102]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Yes, Alice. A lot of times it is about appearances. One wants, by all means, to shout: " I can afford it! " . It was not what I, Carmen, intended to do.

I have been in the beauty biz for over 20 years and am a licensed esthetician and have worked for alot of high end brands and still do. Ive used 3 of strivectins overly priced products. Noticed absolutely no change to my skin with any of them. Everyones different mind you but I had no positive results to show from shelling out all that money.

[@michelletidler6773]

If you're going to shell out that much cash I suggest investing in medical grade. I am licenses and have worked with derms who would say the same thing. Technology is amazing. Researchers and scientists are coming up with more ingredients and formulas every year that may help reduce the signs if aging. And I do stress the term maybe. Here's a few things to try...stop with the sugar...it breaks down collagen. Wear a mineral based sunscreen everyday. Stop with the dairy. It causes inflammation. Drink lots of water and eat clean. Take a vit c and d supplement. Just my suggestions I've done and has helped more than anything. If you must watch you tube beauty skincare try dermatologists vlogs.

[@donnaroberts281]

I just saw a video with Michelle LabMuffinBeautyScience where she said someone in a manufacturing lab told her that the goal price for skincare ingredients is under a penny. I don't know if that is per ounce or per bottle, but either way it's a lot less than we pay. Of course there are other costs- marketing, packaging, research, but still, skincare ingredients don't cost very much.

I used to buy ALL my skincare products from kiehls, meaning I have tried pretty much everything except those products for oily skin. But now I switched to drugstore because they are way cheaper and perform just as well or sometimes better. The only thing that can not be replaced is the avocado eye cream. Fantastic eye cream is right! It’s the only eye cream doesn’t give me milia no matter how much I use and I’m very heavy handed with eye cream.

It's not a bad price either! That's what was so funny for me with this trial - some products are priced almost at drugstore levels (the toner? $16?!) - then others have a huge jump in price lol!

Right?! But it's so...conflicting. Because I also understand why people like it. I think that's what bothers me about the way things are priced - it seems to not matter what the ingredients cost if the people like the end product (how does the saying go, market sets the value?)

I am glad you reviewed Kiehl's. I can see your glow on your cheeks. I hate that you feel poorly. We have had sinus infections here for a week. I have the Midnight recovery cream. I like it. It is pricey, but it is very nice. Great review. Feel better...❌✖❌

Thank you! Yeah my results speak for themselves, I think! I'm just hoping to catch some of these favorites in an Ulta sale now that Ulta carries Kiehl's! 😂😂

Is it weird that I’m 17 M and prefer women’s skincare vids rather men’s? So far, I have the Calendula Skincare product line, the eye depuffer, and thinking about getting both the night time and day serum (would it be worth it? And what would your recommended skin care routine be?)

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I personally use a separate day and night serum, but I would add that it depends on your needs! Are you targeting any specific skin concerns?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Hmm. What cleanser are you using? I actually think you might just be using too harsh of a cleanser. If it's stripping your skin too much, you could be overproducing oil later to compensate (that dry sensation isn't a good sign) So it could be a case of needing to switch out a product vs buying a different product!

[@cheezuschrist1102]

AliceintheRabbitHole the calendula one

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

@@cheezuschrist1102 oh okay. Yeah that one is pretty gentle. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try a serum then. Potentially even the Daily Reviving Concentrate would be nice on your skin as it's not too heavy and a little goes a long way.

[@meganmiller9640]

Worst reaction I’ve ever had. I love the toner and ultra cream and ultra facial moisturizer. I got a sample of the midnight recovery eye cream and I have never reacted to a skincare product like that in my life. I woke up and my eyes were so swollen and remained droopy for a few days and over the next two weeks my eye area looked and felt like sandpaper. I never have reactions, but it’s hard for me to trust anything but their basic staples now. I dunno what the hell they put in that eye cream but whatever it was, I now know it had the assistance of denatured alcohol to ensure its toxic concoction could penetrate deeply into my eye skin. 2 months later and I can still see some slight drooping. So I’m glad to see you recognize it may be problematic to recommend. Xo

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh no!! Skincare reactions are so frustrating - I know all about that, sadly. It's shocking when it happens (my bad reaction took about 6 weeks to clear up - TOO LONG!) I learned to patch test everything. It's tedious but I never EVER want to experience that again! So sorry to hear you went through that ☹️☹️

[@photoggsm]

If it's a peel, is one supposed to cleanse it off in the morning?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

The nightly peel? Yeah if you're talking about the serum, you'd apply it at night and remove it when you wash in the AM

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Hmm, I think it will probably help. Mostly, i'd avoid the alcohol for a while and use a good occlusive product for a bit until your skin normalizes. Are you using a moisturizer?

I find it weird you didn't mention that the avocado eye cream contains parabens.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I do try to mention it as often as I remember, but it's in a LOT of products. My best recommendation would be to always check the ingredients no matter what I also found a service that lets you eliminate ingredients from your skincare routine if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6Goe4uXdqmlqsU Hope that helps! 😊

You mentioned the parabens in the eye cream. Did a little reading and found that Kiehl’s has made a commitment to remove parabens from all of their products by the of the year, as inventory runs out for those products with the parabens. Really enjoyed your review.

[@jessicahernandez3413]

I have to say that I loved your review. I hate looking for reviews on products and most reviews found are just on a day of trying the product. You can’t have an honest review on just trying it for the first time! There are never reviews of their overall experience on what it did to their skin. And if so I have to click on like 10 videos on their progress. Of course everyone has different skin types so it’s really hard to take someone’s word for skin care. But your review seemed honest and to the point and I really appreciated watching your review! Thank you!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It really is difficult to review skincare! It's kind of funny how it progressed on my channel. When I first started, I had a bit of a black and white perception: skin care either works or doesn't! But as people started commenting their experiences, I realized just how much different skin types vary the results! I try to keep that perspective in mind now! Thanks for watching 😊

I just purchased their buttermilk lip mask, lip oil, and ginger and hibiscus farming mask. They actually had a 40% off sale that I took advantage of. I've been wanting to try every single one of their products. But I don't pay full price for anything. I buy from eBay or Marshalls or TJ Maxx. And, you are correct, learning can be a curse because it seems like you're being overly critical, when you're not you're just educated. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think people watch for an educated and informed opinion.

It's like hair products as well. I know so much about hair. And the cost of these at the suppliers , then you see prices at the salon. I have no issues about paying for someone's time. But when I know the cost of the color you just put on my hair and then add a TRIM. And bang its 300 dollars. So I paid ok a haircut was 30 dollars so then I just paid. 220 . For their time. But think about it while I'm sitting and waiting for it to develop, the stylist did 2 hair cuts . So they made a minimum of another 60 , while I sat. I have an extremely hard time paying that. I get professional color , and I try to do it myself or someone I know apply it for me then I go get it cut. I refuse to pay 150 and for something that cost under 20 dollars. And then do other clients while I sit. I just won't do it. And that's the cheap salon's, not the seriously overpriced hyped up ones. This whole world lives in a huge inflation bubble of, over pricing cheap products.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

The inflation these days is out of control. I notice it every time we go to the grocery store. Prices can't jump THAT much in such a short time!

Oh no! Sadly, that's not an uncommon reaction (it's called milia if you want to read more on it). I used to shy away from eye serums, but I've come to realize they could be a good option for those prone to milia: they sink in much more than a cream which could (potentially) mean less issues. Might be worth trying for you?

I’ve used some of their products, with thankfully an okay experience I’ve tried their midnight concentrate, rare earth mask, men body wash and the shampoo, CCDS Now trying their ultra facial cream, and soon their calendula toner and face wash I received their deluxe sample thank god, because i just couldnt justify their price tag for a product that is so simple 😅 Their cream is surprisingly really lightweight, i thought its gonna be buttery since i heard its more for dry skin And so far so good, no greasiness and my skin absorbs it quickly
