   Nice product. The skin feels so comfortable after applying that cream. And especially I like the scent.

   This is one of my favorite Kiehl’s products. I think it moisturizes well, smells terrific and makes my skin look bright and healthy. No adverse effects. I wish it didn’t cost so much. I plan to buy again when my small container is empty. Did I mention I wish it didn’t cost so much?? Only drawback for me!

   This is light enough for my oily but sensitive skin, but does a good job of calming and moisturizing my skin. It hasn’t broken me out yet and it has a nice herbal scent. I prefer to use it at night. You don’t need to use a lot which is good since this is pricey. OSEA Atmosphere cream is the best I have tried for my skin, but this is not bad. It isn’t heavy or greasy and I can see a slight difference in the texture of my skin since using it. I would repurchase.

   This product is just an average daily moisturizer you can wear under makeup. Does nothing specia, I wouldn’t recommend for super dry skin. It works fine if you have normal to combination.

   I had never even heard of Kiehl’s until about 6 months ago when I was hired on to work their counter at my local Dillard’s, but when I started experimenting with different products and learning more about them I fell in love with these products!

   Rosa Arctica Lightweight is, by far, my favorite moisturizer in the entire line. I am fairly oily and somewhat acne prone (especially around “that time of the month”), and this is the only moisturizer I have tried in the line that has really worked for me.

   Being on the oilier side and acne prone, most of the moisturizers I have tried only seemed to make me appear even more oily or were just too heavy and felt like they were clogging my pores.

   This is an absolutely AMAZING product for several reasons:
   1. A little goes a long, long way; a single finger swipe for each area of your face (forehead, chin, and cheeks) will do the job. The 1.7oz jar lasted me at least 6 months, so I definitely got a pretty big bang for my buck.
   2. It soaks into your skin like a dream! Just a few minutes after putting it on, my face feels totally moisturized.
   3. It doesn’t leave behind a weird residue or give off an overly shiny look once it soaks in, so you’re make-up ready in no time flat.
   4. It’s great for super sensitive skin. I have incredibly sensitive skin and it hasn’t ever given me cause for complaint. If anything, it’s helped to calm down many of my reactions!

   I would definitely recommend to stop by your local Kiehl’s and ask for a sample of this, especially if you have skin that’s sensitive and on the oilier side!

   This is the best day moisturiser I’ve tried so far. Little amount goes a long way despite my dry skin and works amazing with both Kiehls BB cream or a foundation (I use Smashbox Studio skin/ Illamasqua Skinbase). No breakouts, burning, nothing. The texture is so light and glides on my skin and absorbs really well.

   I have to say I have not noticed any glitter on my face. I use Temple spa truffle cream at night and THAT has shiny bits to it.

   I am on my second jar now and will be buying again until I find something better again 🙂

   I am in the minority here, but I absolutely love this. I have used the original cream and love it as well for different reasons. The original can be used in the same way as La Mer and gives you the same, if not better, results IMO at a quarter of the price per ml. It is also the best cream so far for getting rid of necklace lines which I was born with and are very hard to shift. I tried a sample of this lightweight version and love it. I have only used it at night thus far but have not noticed this shimmer or glitter factor others have mentioned. This makes my skin butter soft and has definitely sorted some dehydration lines in just a week of use. I find the lavender in it very soothing at night and the texture of the cream is heavy enough that you are getting moisture but does not make you feel greasy. I am so happy I tried this :-).

   I’m a Kiehl’s fan due to the fairly simple nature of their products and that they are, for the most part, fragrance free. I love the Ultra Facial Cleanser, the Gentle Foaming Cleanser, the Calendula toner, and the Ultra Facial Cream. This not so simple cream is a step-up from the Ultra Facial Cream, but I’m still wondering if the combination of shimmer particles and Lavender oil in the formula is a deal breaker for me. I do love how much moisture for a fairly lightweight cream this does have. I’ve only used it at night at this point, although it could be worn with a light hand in the daytime as well…and there is shimmer in this…very evident if you look at your fingers in sunlight after applying. For what it’s worth, lavender oil is the 28th out of 43 ingredients, and the mica is 30th.

    I thought I was drunk when I saw glitters all over my face.
    I thought I did not completely take off my makeup.
    I thought I was crazy…and I was really confused. I mean, it’s a moisturizer, it’s impossible for it to contain glitters. After consistently seeing glitters on my face every night. I took a close look at the jar, and confirmed, yes, this shit has glitters in it!

    WOW, seriously, Kiehls, what did you all smoke at the product development meeting?
