Creating Art & Sharing Love Since 2009

From old apothecary days to the future of skincare

New and now, let me share with you an essential part of my current beauty-skincare routine: KIEHL'S Since 1851. I'm sure this brand must be an old acquaintance to you, but to me it was fresh and the first time I had the chance to try their products.

And I've just discovered that since 1851, KIEHL'S has the mission to formulate gentle yet effective skincare products using innovative, paraben-free and cutting-edge ingredients. As well as it is committed to the environment, using sustainable packaging, and dedicated to helping us achieve a healthy skin barrier.

Dermatologist recommended skin + body + hair care, KIEHL'S beauty products are made using a variety of natural and well-sourced ingredients. Check bellow my selection, I'm sure you will find something interested for your skincare routine too:

From old apothecary days in New York's East Village 
to world's well know scientifically-proven formulas...

Ultra Facial Cleanser

First skincare step: cleansing. This KIEHL'S cleanser is one of the best I've ever tried, it helps remove dirt and debris without stripping skin of essential moisture, plus it can get the rest of my makeup off leaving my face fresh and clean!
Formulated with Squalane, Avocado Oil, and Glycerin, this pH-balanced cleanser helps maintain the skin’s natural balance and protection barrier. Paraben and synthetic fragrance-free, the Ultra Facial Cleanser is dermatologist-tested and suitable for all skin types.

Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane

After cleansing and toning, I apply a dime-sized amount of KIEHL's hydrating facial cream to skin. Formulated with 4.5% Squalane, Glacial Glycoprotein and Pro-Ceramides the Ultra Facial Cream (I've already mentioned here on the blog before btw) hydrates while strength our skin's moisture barrier, resulting on a softer, smoother complex.

It has a unique lightweight texture, which is fast absorbing and promises a 72-hour hydration. Also 100% paraben and fragrance free, it's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. You can apply it by day and night. 
Worth mention the packaging is reusable as KIEHL's now offers an Ultra Facial Cream Refill Pouch.
If you're looking for a more intensive treatment, I believe this one is for you: The Advanced Repair Cream is formulated with Colloidal Oatmeal and Beta-Glucan, a potent formula equipped with an unique Advanced Barrier Technology that mimics skin’s lipid structure to help support the moisture barrier and visibly reduce redness caused by dryness (up to 10 surface skin layers deep!).

It's an intensive barrier cream that provides instant repair and relief for the skin, transforming even the driest skin to be soft, smooth and healthy looking. The KIEHL's Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream helps skin feel relieved from irritation and discomfort, while absorbs quickly with a breathable, balm-to-cream texture.
It's safe for dry, very dry, sensitive and eczema prone skin and it's important to record here it has received the National Eczema Association's Seal of Acceptance ™ and the Allure Best of Beauty 2023 Award.

Ultra Facial Skin Barrier Repair Balm with Squalane

Last but not least and very practical (I like to leave it in my everyday bag): the ULTRA FACIAL BARRIER BALM. An invisible barrier balm with Squalane in an on-the-go stick formula that hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier.
Rich in colloidal oatmeal and beta-glucan (a derivative of oatmeal), it soothe and repair irritated, sensitive skin, supporting and enhancing the skin’s natural barrier, helping it to retain moisture and soothing red, inflamed and uncomfortable skin.

As you all may already know, not only is Squalane good for our skin but it is actually naturally present in the skin. Found plentifully in your skin’s sebum until our early 20s, Squalane begins to deplete with age which can leave skin prone to rough and dry areas. That's why skincare products formulated with Squalane are so helpful!
