Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate is a potent 99.8% naturally-derived and paraben-free botanical elixir that works all night to regenerate, repair and replenish the skin barrier while you sleep. The rich blend of naturally replenishing botanical oils including squalane, evening primrose, and a blend of essential oils known for their therapeutic, balancing, and antioxidant effects, works with the skin's natural nocturnal activity to dramatically restore skin by morning.

What better way to get acquainted with a brand than with its star product?


Name: Kiehl's 키엘 Midnight Recovery Concentrate 미드나잇 리커버리 컨센트레이트
Price: RM 220 for 30 ml
Made in: USA

This push-button dropper glass bottle feels and looks very clinical, nonetheless, it is something that I am happy to display on my vanity.


Upon twisting the bottle open, my olfactory receptors are greeted with a heady combination of lavender and rose. Despite this unusual marriage, the aroma still manages to entice!

I wear it at night after my usual serum. I dot three drops all over my face and then pat it in with my palms. Thanks to the light base oil - Jojoba Seed Oil - it does not feel heavy even though it takes its own sweet time to sink into my skin.


Its effects are nothing short of miraculous: soft, supple and nourished skin. I can't deny being leery of facial oils at first (do I really want to slather oil on my oily mug?) but trialling this product made me realise that facial oils are popular for a good reason. And... I want more! Any recommendations?

This is also sold here in our country and a lot of people love this! It's just too expensive for me that's why I haven't bought a bottle but hopefully I can try it myself soon. Nice review!

You don't need this, but I guess it's good to get in the habit so you'll be taking care of yourself when you need to--in 30 years or so. Hope you're doing well my friend!
The name would make a GREAT name for a hangover cure. :)
