If you’re a regular Beauty Insider reader, you’ll probably guess that we love to include Kiehl’s brand in our listicle article. How can we not? The brand goes beyond the name–their products are elite. From moisturizers to cleansers to lip balm, their skincare lineups are absolutely and genuinely good for your skin. No wonder celebrities, influencers and beauty editors around the world swear oaths by Kiehl’s brand.

Last year, Kiehl’s marked 170 years of its journey in the beauty industry (yeap! You read it right). Though this brand is considered to be a pioneer in the industry, not everyone is aware of how much of a power each one of their little tools could contribute to your skin. Reasons being because of their high-end prices, making people question if it is really worth splurge money on one simple skincare. But one thing that you guys failed to realize is that Kiehl’s championed using only natural ingredients and scientifically proven formulas—so of course, good material requires good pricing. 

If you’re new to the fandom and not sure which Kiehl’s products would make a good startup, fret not. Below, we listed down some of the must-haves products that receive the ravest reviews on the website. *Add everything to the cart* 

Get To Know Kiehl’s Brand 

Here’s a little background check—the first Kiehl’s store was opened in the year of 1851, located just below the mall corner at 13th Street and Third Avenue in New York. Fast forward to 1854, a pharmacist John Kiehl purchased the apothecary and legally changed the name to Kiehl Pharmacy. The name suits the concept that he had envisioned in mind, going hand in hand with the idea of connecting skincare with a science-led approach. Not only that, they were also one of the first beauty brands that have a full list of ingredients attached to their packaging. Ensuring the safety and trust of their customers. So, as you can see, they’ve always been progressive. 

Kiehl’s Ingredients

When it comes to ingredients, they have ensured that each drop of ingredients that enter the packaging and tubes are long-lasting, safe and are made of arrays of healthy natural-ingredients. Extracts from flowers and safe plants have always been the priority when it comes to production. Imagine having the exclusivity of Ginseng, Herbal Tea and Cactus Plant layered on top of your skin. I would never have imagined until I learned the ingredients used by Kiehl’s. See, they have been in and out of their special lab to make sure that each formula is dermatologist tested and scientifically-proven. 

What Skin Type Suits For Kiehl’s? 

Every type of skincare that you could find on this planet can use Kiehl’s products. Normal, oily, sry, sensitive, combination, even ageing skin concern. Each product is heavily formulated to tackle fine lines, ageing problems and dull skin tones so expect the best from this brand. Furthermore, they even prepared a whole section of anti-ageing creams on their website so, here’s your answer. And given that Kiehl’s only uses the cleanest ingredients you really don’t get to worry about what you put on your skin. They have all been dermatology-tested, anyway. 

Practice Clean Beauty With Kiehl’s

Recycling your beauty products is a lot easier than most people think. Just like you recycling your old clothes, newspaper and empty bottles—your used makeup items can be taken and dropped to the nearest recycling drop-off point. And ever since more brands started to encourage recycling, big names like Kiehls, Maybelline and The Body Shop recently announced that they are advocating towards the recycling movement, hence, they decided to partner up with national waste companies to do the work. You can easily visit their official store to drop off your usable and expired products. There are endless other brands that offer this manoeuvre, all for the sake of a healthier environment.
