If you have ever walked into a Kiehl\u2019s shop, a few things may have caught your eye in addition to the neat rows of clinical looking products. Every Kiehl\u2019s boutique has a motorcycle as well as a resident skeleton, and the white-coat wearing staffers are more than happy to give you generous amounts of samples. Here\u2019s a closer look at the origins of this popular brand, Kiehl\u2019s skincare products, and is it right for you?<\/p>\n

What Is Kiehl\u2019s?<\/h2>\n

Kiehl\u2019s started as an apothecary in 1851, with a location on Third Avenue and 13th Street in New York \u2013 that location is still the company\u2019s flagship store. Irving Morse, owner John Kiehl\u2019s apprentice, is credited with expanding what the pharmacy sold to include teas, herbs and Kiehl\u2019s branded products, such as Original Musk Oil. Over the years Kiehl\u2019s became known for its \u201ctry before you buy\u201d motto and for listing its ingredients on the products, which was considered unusual at the time. Irving\u2019s son, Aaron Morse, took the company in a new direction by creating products such as Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner, Blue Astringent Lotion, Kiehl\u2019s Lip Balm #1, and Ultra Facial Moisturizers, which are all still sold today. The company grew by word of mouth as it has never advertised, and Kiehl\u2019s made headlines for sponsoring the 1988 Mount Everest Expedition, where the climbers took several Kiehl\u2019s products along on their journey. In 2000, Kiehl\u2019s was sold to L’Oreal, which also owns Lanc\u00f4me, Maybelline and Urban Decay.<\/p>\n

Today there are over 250 Kiehl\u2019s stores worldwide. And yes, in addition to those text-heavy labels on the products, there is a motorcycle in every single Kiehl’s store thanks to Aaron Morse, who dispersed his personal collection of motorcycles among all the company\u2019s stores. And the skeleton? That was Morse\u2019s idea too, who decorated the New York flagship with books on biology as well as a skeleton to engage customer\u2019s curiosity.<\/p>\n

How Much Do Kiehl\u2019s Products Cost?<\/h2>\n

Kiehl\u2019s products are priced at a mid-range level that are more expensive than drugstore products but would not be the priciest at a department store. The Ultra Facial Cream sells for $30, and Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner is priced at $21. The Amino Acid Shampoo is $20, and Nurturing Baby Cream is $19. Lip Balm #1 retails for $9.50. One of the most expensive products is the Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate, at $78.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Kiehl\u2019s Products Work?<\/h2>\n

When trying to decide if a product works, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that everyone\u2019s skin may react differently to the same product. One cream that leaves a person with glowing, refreshed looking skin may cause breakouts in another person, or do nothing at all, so a little trial and error is always needed when finding the right products for yourself.<\/p>\n

That said, Kiehl\u2019s has been around for a long time with plenty of devoted customers and has also won many industry awards. The Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Mask scooped up an Elle International Beauty Award in 2018, and the Ultra Facial Cleanser won an Allure Best of Beauty Award in 2011; the magazine gave the same award to the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye in 2013. Oprah and plenty of supermodels have declared their love for Cr\u00e8me de Corps, and the company says it has been best-seller for four decades, with an average of 1.5 containers of the cream selling every minute.<\/p>\n

Dig into the reviews on Sephora, and they are largely positive, with most products garnering 4-5 stars and 20,000 \u201cloves.\u201d The Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado gets 4.3 stars, with reviewers praising its hydrating properties \u2013 \u201cI have major dark circles. I\u2019ve been using this eye cream for years. Whenever I try something new to experiment my under eyes beg for it back. Its luxurious and creamy on application and it mixes really well with concealer, keeping your eyes hydrated ALL DAY.\u201d Those who didn\u2019t like it said it was too thick or simply didn\u2019t work for them– \u201cvery thick and hard blend on skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ultra Facial Moisturizer gets 3.8 stars and over 3,000 loves.<\/p>\n

What Are Some Alternatives?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking for skincare products to address the signs of aging, we recommend\u00a0Carrot & Stick<\/a>.
