When I visited Hong Kong during the summer of 2011, my cousins and my aunts raved and recommended Kiehl products. At that moment I didn't have much interest in this brand, since I've never heard of it before. But during Christmas of 2011, my mom's co worker gave me a gift that included Kiehl's products (4 in total). The gift included a cleanser, moisturizer, shampoo, and a small sample of the Midnight Recovery Concentration. I have yet to try the cleanser, moisturizer and shampoo(Due to my shopping issues, I have a lot of cleanser/moisturizer/shampoo lying around in my room *blush*). But must I say, I LOVE the midnight recovery concentration, it works well and smells amazing.
Here are the Key ingredients in the midnight recovery concentration (Information and images obtained from : Kiehl's website)
Evening Primrose Oil:
"Rich in omega-6 and essential fatty acids that the body cannot naturally produce. Also effective on skin-barrier repair." (Kiehl's website)
Lavender Oil:
"Helps soothe inflamed or irritated skin while helping reduce skin
blotchiness for a more even look. Creates a brighter and more radiant
look to skin."(Kiehl's website)
Squalane:
"A healing botanical lipid with a high affinity for skin to instantly restore and replenish."(Kiehl's website)
I use the Midnight Recovery Concentration before I retire for the day (after my toner but before my moisturizer). And a little goes a LONG way. I remember the first time I used the Midnight Recovery Concentration, I felt that it was really greasy (due to all the natural oil), and wasn't to happy about this, since I breakout easily. But the next morning my skin felt softer and I didn't break out. I continued to use this product daily and the tiny sample lasted more more than a month! (I actually still have some left, since I am currently trying out different serums and concentrations). This stuff actually works!!!
In addition, the Midnight Recovery Concentration smells wonderful. Since it includes natural oils such as Lavender the scent is not overpowering. The scent actually helps me relax at night and allows me to sleep more peacefully. I really can't get enough of the scent, it is like lighting up essential oil in the room. *Very Relaxing*
I certainly will buy this when I have a chance to visit the Kiehl store.
Unfortunately this is not a cheap product, currently it has a retail
price of $48 for 30ml. But as I said before, the small sample(4ml)
lasted more than a month for me, so the 30ml bottle will probably last
the entire year!
