The Beyond Screen UV Serum SPF50+

I started using Kiehl's sunscreen as I was fed up with layering all my anti-aging skincare products and sunscreen. The lightweight serum has saved me time and helped to improve my overall skin texture.

The beyond-screen formula combines advanced UV filters and collagen peptides to protect and correct early signs of aging.

The invisible finish of the Beyond Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ not only brings radiance to the skin but also creates the perfect base for makeup. Its silky texture helps smooth out foundation, without greasing up or feeling heavy. Kiehl's serum is suitable for all skin types, even oily and acne-prone, making it a perfect choice for those who want daily UV protection without the stickiness of traditional creams.

Key benefits of Kiehl's Beyond Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ include:

• Protects the skin from UV damage.
• Visibly reduces early signs of aging, such as fine lines, dullness, and dark spots.
• Lightweight texture.
• Boosts skin radiance.
• Lastly, it corrects skin tone & texture.

Environmental Friendly Packaging

Kiehl's Beyond Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ comes in a thoughtfully designed glass bottle made with post-consumer recycled material, reflecting the brand's commitment to sustainability.

My Review

I have been using Kiehl's beyond-screen sunscreen for three weeks and have noticed a massive improvement in my skin appearance. Not only does it make my life easier by removing a product from my skincare routine, but it also improves my skin texture and softness. The serum goes on effortlessly and instantly absorbs into the skin. I combined it with my regular anti-aging products and got terrific results. I recommend this UV protective serum to anyone in need of daily sunscreen. There is no white cast or unpleasant sensations. In fact, I mostly forgot that I was wearing it.

I recently tried the Kiehls Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream, which is fantastic. I treat it as a skin SOS for me and my family. Check out my review here.

Are you in need of an urgent pimple fix? Do you have an event to attend tomorrow? Kiehl's has got your back with its targeted acne-clearing pimple patch!

Calm, reduce, and fade acne with the pimple patch

Acne-prone skin types are often confronted with painful breakouts and frustrating pimples that lead to redness and discomfort. I have found the number 1 pimple remover.

The pimple patch is an invisible liquid patch that you can apply under your makeup or sunscreen. The fast-drying pimple patch leaves a breathable seal on the skin's surface and comprises acne-fighting actives.

Who For?

The pimple patch was created to calm redness, reduce pimple size, and fade acne scars. Key information, per the brand, is below:

• Calms pimple color in 2 hours
• Reduces pimple size in 24 hours
• Visibly fades post-acne marks in 4 weeks

What's Inside?

Key ingredients in Kiehl's Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Pimple Patch include:

• 2% Salicylic Acid: Helps clear acne breakouts and gently exfoliates the skin. This is great for clogged pores and blackheads.
• 4% Niacinamide: Helps to brighten acne scars or dark spots. It can also help balance oil production in the skin, resulting in refined pores and less shine.
• Licorice Root Extract: Helps bring clarity and evenness to the skin tone. It also has excellent soothing actions for acne-related redness.

How To Use It?

The pimple patch is quick and easy to use. Start by applying a drop onto your finger, and then place it over the pimple or scar. Massage the zone for a few seconds and leave the liquid to dry.

You can then follow up with sunscreen and makeup if desired!

My Review

The pimple patch has saved my skin numerous times and is my go-to product during breakouts. I use the acne-fighting patch under my makeup and rinse it off at the end of the day. I recommend this to those needing a quick fix, as the results are rapid! And also to those with acne-prone skin types, as it truly does help! The pimple patch is a miracle pimple buster!

Skin SOS: Reverse the damage with the NEW Kiehls “Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream”

If you are looking into purchasing this product, you may be experiencing some uncomfortable “skinsations”. Not to worry, we have all the answers to your questions here.

First of all, let's start by identifying what the signs of a damaged skin barrier can be. Each skin is unique, so each reaction can be different. Keeping this in mind, the most known are as follows:

• Dry or scaly skin
• Itchiness
• Skin infections
• Rough visible patches
• Lastly, sensitive zones

The Advanced Repair Barrier Cream

This cream was designed for dry skin, including sensitive skin. Its rich, soothing texture brings instant relief to uncomfortable, red skin. The cream contains unique Advanced Barrier Technology that mimics the skin's lipid structure. This allows your skin to fill its moisture levels. Inside you will find a duo of Colloidal Oatmeal & Beta-Glucan that provides instant repair and relief up to 10 surface skin layers deep. Moreover, Kiehls Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream is quickly absorbed and leaves a breathable layer on the surface. As you apply the cream, its texture transforms from a balm to a cream.

What's Inside?

• Beta-Glucan: This skin-repairing molecule helps transform dry, sensitized skin into its healthiest version. Also, this active accelerates skin recovery for a smoother finish.
• Colloidal Oatmeal: This rich anti-inflammatory relieves sensitive skin as well as repairs the skin barrier. It instantly helps reduce pain and discomfort.

My Review

Kiehl's products have a massive place in my heart, so trying out their newest addition was great! I tried the cream on my daughter's skin as she suffers from dry skin and eczema in certain zones. Kiehls Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream worked wonders in just a few days. Her red cheeks were quickly soothed and became much softer. The cream has a gentle scent to it that didn't bother me. Overall, this cream is ideal for multitasking and can also be used around dry lips, on windburn, and around the eyes.

Dry skin can be seriously painful and even hold many people back from a normal lifestyle. Kiehl's new skin barrier repairing cream is the perfect remedy.

Also, I recently tried the new Rare Earth Deep Pore-Minimizing & Polishing Powder (review here). It works nicely for a little extra care (I love using it on my arms, hands, as well as legs and feet).

So let’s explore the key ingredients, benefits, and user experience of Rare Earth Deep Pore-Minimizing & Polishing Powder to help you determine if it's the right fit for your skincare routine.

Key Ingredients

Go beyond hydration

Does your skin need an instant burst of hydration? Do you struggle to find a product that is non-greasy but deeply hydrating? If so, then keep reading.

The Ultra Facial Cream

Combining both science and nature, Kiehls created the ultimate day cream. The ultra-light formula is the #1 selling face cream. Suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive ones.

The ultra-facial cream contains 4.5% Squalane and Glacial Glycoprotein. Working harmoniously, the actives boost the skin's moisture barrier for softer as well as smoother skin.

What's Inside?

The cream uses two main actives to achieve its great hydrating action:

• Squalane: This highly-refined botanical lipid is derived from sugar cane. Squalane is found in many products but in a lower percentage. Squalane helps to replenish the natural barrier, preventing your skin from dryness or irritations.
• Glacial Glycoprotein: Originally sourced from Antarctic Sea glaciers, this profoundly hydrating active is retrieved in an environmentally friendly manner. Kiehl's are very conscious of the value of this active and work without causing further extraction of the glaciers. The glacial glycoproteins are the key to this product's success. Unseen before, they help infuse your skin with hydration throughout the day.

My Review

I have a normal skin type and was looking for a deeply hydrating cream to make my skin feel comfortable and supple. Kiehl's has always been at the top of my skincare products to try. So today, I decided to make that dream a reality. The ultra-facial cream is magical, from the quickly absorbing texture to its gentle, fragrance-free scent. Also, everything about it invites you back to use it time and time again.

I recommend this to all skin types wanting a simple yet highly effective moisturizing cream. It also works great on dry skin patches; you can apply it to arid zones on the body and share it with your male friends.

Have you finished your pot? Please don't throw it away. Kiehl's best-seller is refillable and can be purchased in a 150ml bag. Thus, a great way to reduce our plastic consumption. Go, Kiehl's!
