There are certain Kiehl's products that I can't live without. Their Blue Astringent Herbal
Lotion has been a staple in my bathroom for years. (Seriously. Years). I haven't tried a ton of their other facial products though, so when Kiehl's introduced their new Ultra
Facial Cleanser and Ultra Facial Toner (to go along with their popular Ultra Facial Moisturizer), I was excited to test them out. The cleanser is a gentle formula, made
with a sugar-derived foaming agent. It's mild, which I like - I always get nervous that new cleansers are going to strip my face of all its moisture and I'll wake up with cracks on my forehead or something. (Note: this has never happened to me, so I have no clue why it's such a fear of mine. It's like being afraid of the bogeyman - you know it's stupid, but you worry about it anyway). My skin felt clean and refreshed after I used the cleanser, which is the bottom line for me. The toner is mild and non-astringent and softens the skin without stripping it of its moisture. (Both the cleanser and the toner are made with a blend of the ingredients that Kiehl's is famous for, including
Squalane, Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, and Vitamins C and E). The cleanser will definitely be making it into my daily rotation - I'm a little scared to change toners only because I subscribe to the "If it's not broken, don't fix it" theory of skin care, but I'll definitely keep it handy in my bathroom for those days my skin is feeling too dry for the Blue Herbal Lotion. (And as always, Kiehl's is famous for their samples, so you know I'll be snagging some of those to take on my next trip with me).
The Ultra Facial Cleanser retails for $17.50 and the Ultra Facial Toner for $15.00 (both fantastic prices for the amount of product you get) and can be found at Kiehl's.com.
