This is one of my favorite moisturizers on the market. I really like the way this feels on my skin. My face looks even and plump and I haven’t experienced any breakout or irritation.
The scent is pleasant-herbal, it feels a bit tacky upon application but sinks in eventually and doesn’t make me look greasy or anything. It’s easy to smooth on and melts into skin and can be used in layers, which is great when prepping skin in cold weather for makeup.
It is marketed as an anti-ager, but I don’t really think it makes much of a difference on aging skin. If you want anti-aging starpower ingredients, use a peptide and antioxidant serum underneath this so you can get a concentrated dose.
This as a moisturizer is really suitable for all ages. It has some botanical ingredients that Kiehls claims have firming effects but I’m skeptical about the utility of those.
What you may notice is that this does give your skin a subtly plumped out effect because your skin is well-hydrated. It’s remarkably difficult to find moisturizers that get that balance just right, and this one does.
The only thing I don’t care for with this product is the packaging. I always prefer skincare that comes in a pump rather than a jar. I paid $62 for this 1.7 oz jar and it’s likely to last me six months. I hate the price but I’m willing to invest in a good product.
