Kiehl’s Since 1851

Honestly, I haven’t even bought anything in particular yet from Kiehl’s stores but just giving a huge s/​o to their in-​store service.
Went to the MOA location looking to get what I could for skincare advice since I’m dealing with some new breakouts and don’t think it’s too serious for a dermatologist.
Chris, one of the employees working that night, helped me out right away. He was very eager to help, knowledgeable about all products and skincare in general, and honest about how I should deal with the breakouts and what they actually meant for my skin type. He was more than impressive. To top his awesome advice, I told him I was not ready to purchase all of what he recommended today. He said that was no issue and provided SOME, but not all [didn’t have it or out of stock] samples to me in order to see how they worked for my skin. I thought was more than above and beyond. He went to the skincare stars and back!
I will be trying out all products [which I really only hear great things about, including celebs who could buy any product they wanted] and reporting back to the employees at this store because I know they’ll give me great feedback. Even if the products don’t work for my skin, I’m more than satisfied with the service they provided at this location. Thank you Chris!

I feel a little guilty for reviewing Lush; yet, I have never written anything on my beloved Kiehl’s! Therefore, here it is! This is my biased review because I truly am crazy in love with Kiehl’s and its products.
I really don’t get why some women would spend crazy money on SK-​II products when they’re filled with paraben. We dumb people at times think if it’s expensive, it must be the best. I beg to differ. To me, when it has that one ingredient, it becomes bad that instant. I’m not going to spend $ 200 on a bottle of holy grail for skincare filled with harmful chemical. That could be someone’s wage in a third world country, enough to support a family for a month.
I love Kiehl’s because their products are natural and paraben free. I also love the fact that they are simple and straightforward with clean lines and designs. They just feel clean and pure. The packaging are simple and not busy. It felt like I’m using products from a dermatologist instead of store bought. Yes, it started at a single pharmacy in New York City 160 years ago. It still has that apothecary feel to it. No wonder, it attracts a huge base of male clienteles as well. Their men product line is also superior.
By all means, Kiehl’s aren’t cheap but they’re not stupid pricy like SK-​II or Crème de la Mer. They’re still a premium brand except they’re not full of frills and all about trends. Hell, after 160 years, it has to be great, and they are!
I used to spend a lot of money on Clinique products because I thought they were clean and simple. Turned out, they weren’t very good at all for the price. Ever since I took skincare super seriously and did my research, I spend my money on what’s good for me and my skin. Getting older sucks and I just want to take good care of myself. I always have. I have had facials regularly since I was in my late teens and wash and exfoliate like it’s religion. I get carded all the time for alcohol even in my old age; and, that’s not because I didn’t take good care of my skin!
Kiehl’s has some amazing products that make your skin feel like a million bucks! Their Calendula foaming cleanser and toner are my favorites. They’re mild, but smell so good and they feel great in the skin. My face always feels squeaky clean after. The midnight recovery serum made with various essential oils is another favorite. I used it almost nightly and it really helps with elasticity and aging process. I also use their daily moisturizers with sunscreen and the oil free without sunscreen for night time.
I have lots of their products and love almost all. The cool thing about Kiehl’s, they gave you ample of free samples to try. It’s so great! Then, you didn’t feel like you have to invest on a whole bottle of something without knowing whether you would like it or not. The samples gave me opportunity to experience the product and if I liked it, I’d buy a full size of it. I have a container full of their free samples that I try on all the time and learn about. Like right now, I’m trying their spot corrector serum and I also tried their mud mask this weekend.
The store helpers are also very knowledgeable about the products and they’re super generous with samples. I was going overseas several months back and I bought travel size of my usual products. There’s one that didn’t come in a travel size, so she gave me three week supply of sample size products to last me through my trip. How nice was that? Also, she gave me a quart size Kiehl’s travel pouch approved for TSA check.
My belief in skincare is natural, not too cheap, not too expensive, clear result. Kiehl’s is my answer. I traveled long journey to find my preferred skincare brand. Kiehl’s is my light at the end of the tunnel. Superb stuff. I simply love.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE KIEHLS! Great experience at this location. Krista and Anna were delightful and made me and my brother feel so welcome. Was blown away and had to say something. Kiehls just keeps getting better :)

Kiehl’s has a gorgeous outpost in the MOA (Mall of America) and pretty young girls with good skin offering helpful explanations and product samples (Yee-​haw!).
I gleefully walked away with some lightening serum — $ 69 a pop but I believe it is helping my sun damage.
Love Kiehl’s and love this particular location.

Kiehl’s is not overwhelming, but still has everything you could want. I had originally tried Kiehl’s when purchasing a few products from Nordstrom and I had no idea so many options were available.
The part that made all of the options from being overwhelming was the professional sales associates and how Kieh’s has different lines.
It’s not cheap, but similar to other lines, but I think much better. They also have rewards and recycling programs. And while not exclusively for men, the apothecary feel in the store (which is a bit small, but decent enough) makes it relaxed.
