Cosmetic flash mob: Kiehl's
Dear Gossip Girls, let me tell you and maybe even introduce someone to the Kiehl’s . This brand, which is now 170 years old, was founded in New York, as it was in those days, cosmetics were created by pharmacists, it was the pharmacist John Keel who opened his small family shop in 1894, and the first cosmetics - the legendary oil - were created in 1921 by his student, Irving Morse, and it was his heirs who developed the simple pharmacy into a global brand based on a combination of science, natural cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. And, reading the history of the brand, you immediately understand: these people have always been able to advertise, both in the 60s, correctly selling aloe gel for radiation burns to the American authorities, and in the 80s, supplying an expedition to Everest with their cosmetics and, for greater clarity, providing them with special branded T-shirts
And now, when the brand skillfully promotes its products through popular Instagram bloggers. Frankly, it was from there, from Instagram, that I learned about the brand, I was very intrigued by the promises, the results that I saw, and just the cute appearance of the jars.
My first purchase took place in an offline store, and this became the decisive factor, I have never been so meticulously selected products anywhere: a girl consultant in a lab coat did a test to determine my skin type, identified key problems and requests, and pulled out everything for testing, which met the requirements. I would like to note: my skin (30+) is thick, normal, there are both inflammations and post-acne, not prone (yet) to wrinkles Ultra Facial Cream
A moisturizing face cream that suits my skin 100 percent. There is no feeling of stickiness or overload, it is absorbed gently, does not leave behind a film and provides sufficient hydration. Before I started using it, I had signs of skin dehydration, but Ultra Facial Cream quickly eliminated this problem. At the moment I am already on my second 100ml jar. The only caveat is that you have to climb into the jar with your hands or a spatula.
Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque
This product, like the previous face cream, is a bestseller of the brand. What the manufacturer promises us: Evens out the skin texture, making it smooth, Eliminates signs of skin fatigue, eliminates dullness, Gives a boost of energy, freshness and radiance, gives the skin a healthy appearance and visibly reduces pores. And indeed, it has a visible, tangible effect (which will not last very long), I do not use it on a regular basis, primarily because of the cranberry seeds included in the composition, since they can injure existing inflammations, and on those days, when I have plans to go out in public, but my face has an unpleasant gray undertone. Radiant skin, smooth texture, softness and smoothness will remain in the immediate hours after application. It is important that the mask is clay, therefore, like all clay masks, it cannot be dried, it must be constantly moistened (thermal water, any mist, and just plain water through a spray bottle will do), otherwise it will draw water from the skin, and We definitely don’t need it.
Calendula Petal-Infused Calming Mask
Another bestseller of the brand, promising freshness, hydration and a cooling effect. The gel texture is easy to apply, rinses off quickly, pleasantly cools (I store it in the refrigerator) and is perfect as an SOS remedy for signs of skin fatigue. Overall, it's easy to substitute many alternative gel cold masks from any other brand (even Organic Kitchen).
Serum for even skin tone Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution
Not the most obvious choice of product from the brand, but it really works. The active vitamin C included in the composition effectively eliminates post-acne, removes age spots and fights hyperpigmentation. I tried this product first in a sample, then in a miniature, and now in the largest full-size bottle, because the result, as they say, is obvious. It can be applied to spots or all over the face. I did both, and it works equally well. The texture is not very liquid, one drop is enough for me to spread everything), the consumption is negligible.
Balm #1 Lip Balm #1
The brand's long-lived product, created back in 1969. It would seem that a lip balm could surprise you, but no, it can. It provides gentle hydration and nutrition, does not leave a film or white streak, is not sticky, fits well under lipstick (especially under super drying ones), restores and heals chapped lips. I also applied it once to my elbows and, in a particularly SOS situation, to my cuticles. Oh, and the smell! (I have Mango) not chemically smelly, but tasty)) The composition is all pleasant: lanolin, squalane, vitamin E. This ends the positive note about the products that worked and remained on my shelf. Let's move on to those whom we would like to forget
Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate with 12.5% vitamin C
So far, this product is the leader in my personal rating “What did I spend 6 thousand on???” I’ll add that even though this serum is a bestseller, and when tested in a store it showed a good brightening/radiant result (I think it was a shame I didn’t study chemistry at school, she punished me by making me believe in the demonstration of the product’s action), but on my face there’s not much more , which didn’t work, I didn’t notice any improvement in texture, shine, or color, and it also caused a bunch of rashes. In fact, I still feel bad about getting rid of the jar, I would give it to my mom to try, but she has more than enough of this vitamin C. Therefore, sometimes I still take it, smear it, and then treat the pimple that comes out after that.
Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
And again a bestseller that didn't suit me. I admit that it will suit people with drier skin perfectly, but after application I quickly swelled, for me there is too much nutrition in it, as if I had smeared margarine under my eyes.
Avocado Nourishing Hydration Mask
And again avocado, and again past. Moreover, I have a lot of questions with this mask - a strange texture (similar to guacamole, only with gelatin), which must be massaged between your fingers before application, warmed up, and only then applied. But you still walk around as if you dipped into avocado toast in the morning, you just ate a piece of salmon, and the avocado remains on your face, lumps here, lumps there. Strange, in general. Plus, this mask draws water out of my skin, I walk and sweat in it, feeling how drop by drop moisture leaves the epidermis. So I have it, little used, sometimes, on special occasions, I can arrange a multi-masking for myself, and then I take out this green jar. The rest of the time it just gathers dust.
Midnight Recovery Concentrate
The concentrate that left me indifferent - I still don’t understand why I’m paying 5-6 thousand for this, the same Estée Lauder Advanced night repair works better and more efficiently, the skin after it is fresh the next morning, and after the Midnight Recovery Concentrate it’s normal. I don’t know how logical it is to call it a concentrate, it’s more like just an oil (based on Lavender, night primrose and squalane), and it works like an oil, you shouldn’t expect anything more from it.
Kiehl’s brand found both working products and those that were absolutely not suitable. But I will continue to return to those that have shown results on my skin.
Mask for instant skin glow
Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque
Gives an instant boost of energy, freshness and radiance to dull skin with signs of fatigue, gives it a healthy appearance and visibly reduces pores. Ground cranberry seeds promote gentle exfoliation, leaving skin noticeably smoother.

New Kiehl's masks: collective test drive
Seven beauty insiders test Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque and Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque. And they disagree.
Two new Kiehl’s masks (codenamed “red” and “green”) arrived at our editorial office in quantities that were enough for everyone. Beauty insiders were delighted and immediately began to compare impressions.
Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque, Kiehl's
The mask promises to fill the skin with radiance and energy, restore its healthy appearance and smoothness. Contains turmeric and cranberry extracts, plus crushed cranberry seeds for gentle exfoliation.
Although it is not directly indicated, the “red” mask is more likely to be used in the morning, and the “green” mask is more likely to be used in the evening. Apply the composition for 5-10 minutes until it dries, then rinse with warm water, gently massaging so that the cranberry seeds have time to exfoliate the skin.
Yana Zubtsova
Skin: normal, sometimes prone to dryness, sometimes to oily, there are wrinkles and other dullness :)
I definitely liked it. It exfoliates well, does not injure the skin, smells good too (and does not injure the nose either). It dries quickly, but not tightly - in the sense, there is no feeling that you were stuck in a shriveled hedgehog or, rather, a cement mitten. It is, however, not very easy to wash off - it is better to do this with a mitten or a waffle towel, but I also adapted a sponge-konjaka for this task. After the mask, the skin texture clearly becomes smoother, the pores on and around the nose are slightly reduced, and I don’t aim for more. I also noticed that if you apply it to your lips (the mask doesn’t burn or bake, but it’s better not to lick it, of course), then your lips then become beautifully pink and plump. I think it’s due to friction while you’re filming - well, the menthol in the composition makes itself felt.
Masha Botvinina
Skin: sensitive, prone to dehydration
Immediately after application, the mask burns just a little. Then it dries on the face so that it is difficult to even move it. At this moment it must be washed off. Large particles are cranberry seeds; in the total mass they look quite rough, but in fact they exfoliate gently and delicately. They have only one drawback - the particles are difficult to wash off and I always have several pieces left on my face and have to literally pick them off)
But the result is simply wow! It was as if I had been resting for a month and breathing crystal clear mountain air. The skin glows and radiates freshness and health (where are my 17 years?!). And at the same time, it is smooth and soft (and I didn’t have such skin when I was 17!) And the skin tone has become so even that I don’t even want to put on makeup. A super product that I will add to my must-have list.
Karina Tumanskaya
Skin: normal, sometimes a little dry. There is rosacea and pigmentation
It’s a completely working mask, but it didn’t excite me as much as Masha did. Yes, it perfectly evens out skin tone, tightens pores, and gives a glow. But there are a couple of “buts” - firstly, it’s really difficult to wash off. Even my favorite method with a Glov glove doesn’t help much - it takes a long time to pick out the scrubbing particles. Secondly, it dries and tightens the skin a little. So, I like it as an emergency “I-go-out-in-the-world-in-5-minutes” remedy, but I wouldn’t dare use it permanently.
Lena Korenkova
Skin: problematic, dehydrated
Radiance is generally the last thing on your mind when you have problem skin (what's the point if foundation covers everything up?). After using it, I noticed that my face looked polished. And she went looking with her eyes: “What else?” I found that the mask cleanses and mattifies a little (clay is the second ingredient in the composition). But I agree with Karina, it can dry out if you don’t wash it off after 5 minutes (it’s better not to scroll through Facebook).
Would I say that I can't live without this mask? No. Is there the promised glow and exfoliation? Yes. And she also smells like cranberry dessert -).
Lena Loginova
Skin: sensitive, thin, problematic
I didn't like this mask at all. Yes, it smells and looks good, like crème brûlée with cranberry seeds. It is also easy to apply and does not cause any discomfort while it is on the face. But it’s sooo hard to wash it off! You rub, rub, rub, so that later, when you look at yourself in the mirror, you again find a cranberry seed somewhere on your nose. Not to mention the fact that the notorious seeds do not gently exfoliate, but naturally scratch when you try to wash them off. An additional bonus of this execution is the skin dried out to the point of parchment. I'm glad that I got a miniature and not a full jar-)
Olya Tretyakova
Skin: combination, dry, aged
Since I recently had a mask overdose, I didn’t even immediately remember what kind of mask it was. Cranberry seeds? The smell of dessert? Oh, yes. Just in case, I went and smeared myself with it again right now. She smells really nice. The cranberry particles act as a scrub while you apply the mask. It dries out even faster for me than for other girls - in about 3 minutes. It doesn’t sting. It washes off... well, not that instantly, of course, but I didn’t notice any problems in this regard. Any tangible result, too. There is shine - due to the fact that this mask polishes the skin very well. But “shine” is still not “shine”.
Yulia Grebenkina
Skin: combination, problematic, slightly dehydrated, sensitive
I am a well-known dislike of masks - as I have said more than once, it seems to me that they rarely do anything really noticeable in effect to the skin. I always keep rare exceptions on hand -) What attracted me to this Kiehl's mask was the clause about gentle exfoliation - I'm constantly looking for something on this topic. And I liked the mask: the skin after it was smooth, really well exfoliated (now, after a month of swimming in the chlorine of the pool, I can definitely talk about this), radiant and somehow... cheerful or something.
The only negative found is that my sensitive skin becomes pinker after it, not whiter (I think this is due to the menthol in the composition). And, well, one more thing - large particles of the same cranberries in the composition are a little difficult to wash off. For this I take some kind of damp towel or microfiber.
As a result: I was pleasantly surprised - the effect is really visible. The main thing is to hydrate well immediately after.

Night face mask for protection against aggressive environmental factors Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque, Kiehl's
The mask promises to protect the skin from negative environmental influences that lead to dull skin and a gray complexion. It contains extracts of Chinese parsley (or, more commonly speaking, cilantro) and bitter orange. They should even out the skin tone, and with constant use, renew it.
The mask is used at night: you need to leave it for 5 minutes, then blot it with a napkin to remove excess, and go to bed -). After using it, be sure to apply sunscreen for at least three days - it contains acids.
Yana Zubtsova Skin: normal, sometimes prone to dryness, sometimes to oily, there are wrinkles and other dullness :)
And I liked this mask even more than the first. True, I didn’t use it according to the rules - not at night, but in the morning, for a couple of hours, when I didn’t have to run anywhere. (I don’t really understand masks at night - I sleep with my face in the pillow, why does the pillow need expensive care? :) Then I washed it off with warm water. The muzzle is immediately fresh and somehow... mmm... ripe?:) But definitely not overripe. The mask unexpectedly tasted sweet. For some reason this made me laugh, just like when I was a child. Now I use it constantly, once every two or three days. I even take it on trips.
Masha Botvinina
Skin: sensitive, prone to dehydration
I didn't understand this mask. All it does for my skin is just hydrate. This is probably the promised protection from the environment - if so, then the hydration is excellent. But there are a few “buts”. First of all, the mask is very sticky. Secondly, my skin does not completely absorb it and in the morning I feel an unpleasant film on my face. And if I usually wash off night moisturizing masks in the morning with just water, this requires a gel.
Karina Tumanskaya
Skin: normal, sometimes a little dry. There is rosacea and pigmentation
I was quite pleased with the glow mask, but this green one, on the contrary, delighted me. Naturally, I applied it with concern that it might clog my pores. The pores were not clogged at all, on the contrary, the next morning the skin was smooth, with an even tone, the pores were significantly reduced, and in general the whole appearance was somehow rested and radiant. I liked the result so much that I simply gave up on using foundation that day. The effect, by the way, lasted for two or three days.
Lena Korenkova
Skin: problematic, dehydrated
Night masks are just my story. (But I stubbornly don’t understand the part about “protection from aggressive environmental factors.” I can imagine what I should see the next morning after a moisturizing or nourishing mask, but what to expect after a protective mask? :)) And yet, this is a good mask, even excellent. It saved me from dryness and flaking after two trips on the Sapsan in one day. The skin after it is soft and even-smooth. It is a rare case when a mask with acids does not tighten, but rather softens. Olya and Lena Loginova write about stickiness, but it is felt for two or three minutes after application (usually during this time I do not have time to fall face first into the pillow). There is usually nothing to wash off - the mask is completely absorbed.
If I was planning a transatlantic flight (when, when already?), I would take her with me to the cabin. The skin is intact, the neighbors are calm - when applied, the mask turns from light green into an invisible cream.
Lena Loginova
Skin: sensitive, thin, problematic
My relationship with this mask was better than with the previous one. It has a pleasant gel-cream texture, although it smells strange - a mixture of mint and shish kebab. But I even liked the smell. It is applied and distributed easily, the effect was also pleasing - moisturizing without clogged pores. I don’t know about protection from aggressive factors; I don’t seem to have them in my bed. The big disadvantage is that it is sticky; the mask forms a film of superglue on the face. I was seriously afraid that in the morning I would raise my head from the bed with the pillow glued to my cheek. Washing off this sticky splendor is not a pleasant task, I had to use a cleanser and a sponge. Overall, I liked the effect, but the stickiness and difficulty in rinsing off bother me. I'm afraid my hand will reach out to this jar very rarely.
Olya Tretyakova
Skin: combination, dry, aged
This mask turned out to be fun. Having received it for testing, one of the beauty insiders came to our work chat and said: “The green mask, by the way, is sweet...” Troll! Of course, after that everyone tried it! I licked her too. And yes, she is sweet. I didn't really like the sticky film that the mask left on my face. After half an hour, as the instructions said, I tried to remove the excess with a napkin. This turned out to be difficult - it is removed with great difficulty, and the skin remains sticky after it. To be honest, I didn’t notice the effect of the face mask. So I’ll probably leave it until times of famine. Still, it's quite tasty.
Yulia Grebenkina
Skin: combination, problematic, slightly dehydrated, sensitive
I approached this new product for a long time because of a latent fear of night masks as a class - on my problem skin, these give inflammation in the morning, and not freshness and hydration. But I should have read the release and the information on the can more carefully - it, of course, moisturizes, but also contains exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acids, so I took a chance. The mask is an ordinary cream mask, it does not give any sensations on the skin. I blotted it overnight with a napkin and went to bed. In the morning - just smooth, calm, beautiful skin, which doesn’t even seem to need moisturizing. Everything is fine, I have a desire to use it again and again (though I liked the first mask better -)).

Dull complexion, according to statistics, is the most common problem of women around the world, and it is not always associated with the aging process of the skin. According to a survey by L'Oreal, 70% of women in the US, 64% in Japan, 62% in France and 46% in China complain of dull and lifeless skin.
Unhealthy skin tone (pale, grayish-pale, sallow) can occur even in young people who lead an unbalanced lifestyle or suffer from various ailments. As a rule, a dull complexion is combined with increased dryness and sensitivity of the skin. It also deteriorates from lack of sleep: we go to bed late and get up early for work, the body does not have time to rest and recover, and as a result, cells age much earlier. Thus, the skin gives us an “alarm signal” that its cells lack nutrients, moisture and oxygen.
Many women try to disguise a dull complexion with makeup or relieve symptoms with expensive dermatological and cosmetic procedures. And from time immemorial, famous fashionistas have used face masks containing natural ingredients.
For example, Marie Antoinette used egg whites to reduce pore size and smooth skin. Yang Gui Fei , a famous Chinese beauty of the Tang Dynasty, used crushed pearls to lighten, tighten and brighten her skin. The great fashion trendsetter Cleopatra used milk (lactic acid) to cleanse, nourish and rejuvenate the skin.
The specialists at the pharmaceutical cosmetics company Kiehl's also consider masks one of the most important skin care products and are constantly developing innovative products. One of the new products, Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque, is designed to give the skin radiance, and the other, Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque, protects the skin from aggressive environmental influences.
Mask for radiant skin with turmeric and cranberry seeds
Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque combats dull complexion and signs of fatigue with natural ingredients. The product contains turmeric and cranberry seeds. Turmeric is a root of a plant from the ginger family that has been used in Indian and Chinese medicine for over 100 years. It is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Turmeric extract cleanses the skin of impurities, has powerful antioxidant and antiseptic effects and regulates sebum production. And crushed cranberry seeds in the mask exfoliate dead cells.
The mask gives an instant boost of energy, freshness and radiance to dull skin with signs of fatigue, gives it a healthy appearance and visibly reduces pores. Ground cranberry seeds promote gentle exfoliation, leaving skin noticeably smoother. After just two weeks, the skin looks more energized and less tired (by 88%) and its appearance is significantly improved.
Orange Essence: Kiehl 's to Human Problems
Night mask Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque is designed to protect the skin from aggressive environmental factors.
Scientists have proven that poor ecology has a detrimental effect on our appearance. Both pimples and more serious problems, in particular acne and skin eczema, can be a consequence not only of the hormonal surge typical of adolescence, but also of negative environmental influences.
According to scientific data, there are five types of pollution that negatively affect the condition of the skin. Particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons cause oxidative stress, destroy the protective barrier and impede skin repair. Oxides lead to the formation of free radicals, which increases skin sensitivity. VOCs increase transepidermal water loss, which increases susceptibility to allergens and damages the skin barrier. Ozone depletes vitamins C and E in the skin and causes premature aging.
Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque fights the main enemies of healthy skin and acts in three ways: prevents free radicals from affecting cells (stops damage), strengthens and strengthens the skin's protective functions and helps the skin become less susceptible to pollution.
The mask contains extract of young fruits of bitter orange, which is a powerful antioxidant, and vitamin E, which nourishes the skin and strengthens its protection.
The price of masks is 175 NIS. per jar 100 ml.
Can be purchased at all Kiehl's stores: Ramat Aviv Shopping Center, Tel Aviv Dizengoff Center Shopping Center, Tel Aviv, TLV Fashion Mall, Tel Aviv, Grand Canyon Shopping Center, Haifa.
Kiehl's is a natural cosmetics company with a 165-year history.
Kiehl's is a famous American premium cosmetics brand. Its history began 165 years ago with a small family pharmacy opened by Dutch emigrant John Kill. In 1910, Irving Morse, a Russian emigrant of Jewish origin, an expert on medicinal herbs and plants, began working there. He created many formulas, recipes for medicinal essences and preparations, which to this day are the standard in the field of pharmacology and cosmetics.
Kiehl's core credo is to use only natural active ingredients such as pure vitamin C, botanical oils, vegetable glycerin and others. All Kiehl's products are suitable for sensitive skin and are tested and are free of parabens, artificial colors and fragrances.
“We strive to make our world a better place” is another company motto. A large amount of proceeds go to charity: helping children, research aimed at combating AIDS, and improving the environment.
Kiehl's is probably the only cosmetic company in Israel that gives you a refund if you don't notice a significant improvement in your skin condition within 28 days or if a product simply doesn't suit you. Each client undergoes a skin diagnosis, after which products are individually selected and free samples are provided. Credo (try before you buy).

Kiehl's. Part 1. Masks.
Hello, dear forum users! Getting to know the Kiehl's brand greatly brightened up my vitamin-deficient February, and today I will tell you how it was.
To organize my story, I divided it into categories and will describe the masks first, because they aroused my increased interest. Don’t feed me honey, let me smear something on my face).
I'll start with
Mask for instant skin glow
Turmeric & cranberry seed energizing radiance masque
What does this bright jar promise?
With turmeric and cranberry seeds. The mask gives an instant boost of energy, freshness and radiance to dull skin with signs of fatigue, gives it a healthy appearance and visibly reduces pores. Ground cranberry seeds promote gentle exfoliation, leaving skin noticeably smoother.
What to do with it?
Apply the mask to cleansed facial skin. Leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes until dry. Rinse off the mask with warm water, gently massaging and allowing the cranberry seeds to do their exfoliating action. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Recommended use up to 3 times a week.
That's exactly what I did. In the sachet the mask looks like this:
The consistency of freshly diluted plastic clay interspersed with crushed seeds and peels (cranberries? turmeric?).
The aroma is light, cosmetic, with a hint of berry. It doesn’t make my mouth water, there are no gourmet associations, and for me this is rather a plus.
Applied:
After 10 minutes the mask dried well:
When applied, you immediately get a 2 in 1 feeling: the mask cools and warms up at the same time. As it dries, the usual tightening stage for clay substances and an unusual tingling sensation appear. Removing the mask is quite problematic; you need to soak it thoroughly, best with a warm compress.
And now about the result. It turned out to be unconvincing for me:
a) the mask left the skin feeling tight and, to a certain extent, dry. The feeling did not go away even after applying a moisturizer. This is the main disadvantage for me, which had to be corrected with the help of another, moisturizing mask.
b) the second minus is that along the contour of application, where the layer is thinner and had time to dry well, the mask left behind obvious redness of the skin. They, of course, came down, but not at all as quickly as we would like.
c) the mask coped with its task of instant radiance, freshness and other delights. Because the radiance is in the eyes), and the difficulties with washing it off, dryness and redness clearly did not add to this radiance for me.
Bottom line: I won’t buy this mask in full format; there are more effective ones. But young lovers of clay textures, as well as those with problem skin without allergic reactions, may be quite satisfied with the mask.
Next
Night mask for protection against aggressive environmental factors
Cilantro & orange extract pollutant defending masque
What does this bright jar promise?
With extracts of Chinese parsley and bitter orange. The mask, enriched with extracts of Chinese parsley and bitter orange, provides protection against negative environmental influences, gives a feeling of comfort and makes the skin tone more uniform. With constant use, the skin looks renewed.
What to do with it?
Apply the mask in the evening to cleansed facial skin. Leave for 5 minutes, then blot your face with a napkin to remove excess. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. In the morning after your traditional skin care routine, be sure to apply SPF as the product contains AHA, which can make your skin more susceptible to sun damage. Recommended use up to 3 times a week.
In the sachet the mask looks like this:
This is a thick and quite dense substance. It applies easily, spreads well, and melts a little upon contact with the skin. And immediately envelops you with its aroma. This is a mixture of something menthol-eucalyptus-lavender + possibly tea tree + lime. I love such bright natural cocktails; they have a beneficial effect on my sleep, but they can have the opposite effect on sensitive people.
In addition, the mask contains a light cooling component, which further emphasizes the presence of mint.
According to the instructions, five minutes after application you are supposed to remove the remaining mask with a napkin, and this turns out to be quite problematic. Maybe I applied too much; Maybe I don’t blot it with the same napkins, but it turns out that it’s not the mask that is absorbed into the napkin, but, on the contrary, the napkin sticks tightly. But the pillow coped with this problem perfectly - it took on all the excess))).
About the morning results: a feeling of heavy, viscous, not absorbed cream on the face, especially where the pillow did not reach; This cannot be washed off with plain water or gentle foams, only with the help of deep cleansing washes. After all the procedures, the face looks quite fresh, but something tells me: the negative impact of this mask, heavy on the skin, overshadows the positive from the morning contemplation.
I am familiar with a similar overnight mask from Dr. Jart+, and I like it much better.
P.S. There is one side effect that appeared after the fact: sensitive areas, namely the “flaps” of the nose, were burned after the mask and began to itch and peel. Sorry for the details.
P.P.S. The burned skin still makes itself felt in the form of flakes (a week later); This is an anti-record for me.
In general, unfortunately, the new product did not live up to expectations.
Well, the last magician
Amazonian White Clay Pore Refining Mask
Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque
What does this jar promise?
This mask is an absolute favorite of clients and beauty bloggers in Russia.
Enriched with Amazonian clay, the mask effectively cleanses pores and promotes their noticeable narrowing, removes dead cells from the surface of the skin, and reduces oily shine.
Suitable for normal, oily and oily skin types.
What to do with it?
Use the mask 1-2 times a week. Apply a thin layer of the product to cleansed, damp facial skin, avoiding the area around the eyes, leave for 10 minutes until dry, rinse with warm water or remove the product with a damp sponge.
And again clay. But it is logical here, unlike a mask, which is for instant radiance: what, if not clay, can cleanse pores and reduce oily shine?
In the sachet the mask looks like this:
The texture is very plastic, homogeneous, smooth. The smell is light and refreshing.
It is applied simply and pleasantly, creates a feeling of coolness and tingles in porous areas of the skin. As the mask dries, the tingling subsides and the chill intensifies slightly. And, naturally, a feeling of tightness arises.
After 10 minutes, a perfectly smooth, homogeneous layer of dried clay remains on the face, which, unlike a “beauty mask,” can be removed without problems with a sponge or a wet compress.
The result is a clean, elastic, polished face. And, by the way, not overdried. The feeling of coolness persists for quite a long time. I definitely like it. In our crazy hot summer it will be just right.
P.S. I can’t judge about deep cleansing of pores, probably the main thing here is regular use.
So, let me summarize my brief acquaintance with Kiehl's masks:
- in reality, not everything is as rosy as promised;
- They should be handled carefully in terms of dosage. This is exactly the case when it is better to under-than over-, otherwise troubles in the form of redness and peeling are possible;
— all the tested masks are not unique and have analogues among other brands;
+ I was truly pleased only with the Mask with Amazonian white clay;
+++ All masks have very positive, bright and naturalistic scents.
Well, special thanks to the brand for the samples. Excellent sachets that gave an idea of the product and saved you from unnecessary expenses.
I hope that if anyone has a question about purchasing these masks, my story will be useful.

Post 30: Review of 3 Masks from Kiehl's
I recently decided to finally try the cult Kiehl's moisturizing mask, and collect other samples to go with it. The samples are quite weighty, so now I can fully tell you about the composition of the masks and my feelings from them.
For me, a mask is always an instant effect, unlike serums and creams. If the mask needs to be applied for several months to see the effect, then it is easier to use a serum. The mask itself can provide a boost of hydration or additionally cleanse the skin. The mask will not have any special anti-age properties, because... Usually they are applied only for a certain time, and this is not enough. But let's move on to Kiehl's masks.
Let's start with the first mask for instant skin radiance Turmeric & cranberry seed energizing radiance masque - RUB 3,300.
The mask promises “an instant boost of energy, freshness and radiance to dull, tired skin, leaving it looking healthy and visibly minimizing pores. Ground cranberry seeds promote gentle exfoliation, leaving skin noticeably smoother.”
I'm always a little confused when manufacturers promise an “energy boost” for the skin, how will it become infected? What does energized skin look like? Unclear. It is recommended to apply the mask to cleansed skin, wait 5-10 minutes until it dries completely and then rinse with water.
If you look at the composition, the first ingredients will be Kaolin, Bentonite - this is clay, the most common one. It is used to cleanse the skin.
Sorbitol is the main moisturizing component in the composition. It is a humicate and retains water on the surface of the skin by absorbing it from the environment.
BUTYLENE GLYCOL, SILICA - are responsible for the structure of the mask and prevent it from being too liquid and spreading well on the skin.
VACCINIUM MACROCARPON (CRANBERRY) SEED - those crushed cranberry seeds that help exfoliate the skin. In fact, it is the oil in cranberry seeds that is valuable, not the seeds themselves. The seed oil has antioxidant properties that help the skin fight off environmental aggressors. But the seeds themselves can only serve as decoration.
SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS OIL / JOJOBA SEED OIL - further in the composition there is a little jojoba oil, which helps to moisturize the skin very well.
Next comes a number of different extracts, which are not contained in large quantities to have any effect on the skin. MENTHOL alone may provide a slight cooling sensation, but it may also irritate very sensitive skin.
According to my feelings, a clay mask is just that: a clay mask. It cleanses the skin a little, dries it a little and certainly doesn’t “charge” it in any way. It has no other special properties, the mask can only be used for cleansing, but you can find cheaper options.
AQUA / WATER, KAOLIN, SORBITOL, BENTONITE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, SILICA, CI 77891 / TITANIUM DIOXIDE, VACCINIUM MACROCARPON (CRANBERRY) SEED, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS OIL / JOJOBA SEED OIL, CAPRY LYL GLYCOL, XANTHAN GUM , POLYSORBATE 60, POLYACRYLAMIDE, CI 77492 / IRON OXIDES, GLYCERIN, C13-14 ISOPARAFFIN, CURCUMA LONGA EXTRACT / TURMERIC ROOT EXTRACT, ASCORBYL GLUCOSIDE, TRISODIUM ETHYLENEDIAMINE DISUCCINATE, LAURETH-7, EUCALYPTUS GLOBUL US LEAF OIL, CAMELLIA OLEIFERA LEAF EXTRACT, MENTHA PIPERITA EXTRACT / PEPPERMINT LEAF EXTRACT, MENTHOL, EPILOBIUM ANGUSTIFOLIUM EXTRACT – EPILOBIUM ANGUSTIFOLIUM FLOWER/LEAF/STEM EXTRACT, AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL, VACCINIUM MACROCARPON (CRANBERRY) SEED OIL
Another new product - Night mask for protection against aggressive environmental factors Cilantro & orange extract pollutant defending masque - 1600 - 3300 rubles.
Quite a strange mask with cilantro extract. Cilantro! Kiehl's website says it's Chinese parsley, but a quick Google search reveals it's actually cilantro. But let’s continue, the mask is a night mask, it is applied after cleansing and for the whole night. It looks a little green, by the way, not due to the cilantro, but due to the dye in the composition CI 77288 / CHROMIUM OXIDE GREENS. When applied, the mask feels a little cold, most likely due to the menthol in MENTHA PIPERITA OIL / PEPPERMINT OIL. Let me remind you that menthol can irritate sensitive skin.
The manufacturer promises “protection from negative environmental influences, a feeling of comfort and a more uniform skin tone. With constant use, the skin looks renewed.” Antioxidants can protect the skin from the environment; they are not directly presented here, but they are present in various oils in the composition.
The composition itself consists almost entirely of moisturizing oils BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER / SHEA BUTTER, PRUNUS ARMENIACA KERNEL OIL / APRICOT KERNEL OIL, OLEA EUROPAEA OIL / OLIVE FRUIT OIL, SQUALANE (not oil in the literal sense, but the structure is similar), CORIANDRUM SATIVUM SEED OIL / CORIANDER SEED OIL and others.
In first place after water is PROPANEDIOL - an excellent moisturizing component that additionally helps other components of the composition to be absorbed into the skin, in particular acids.
GLYCERIN is a humicate that moisturizes the skin.
ARGININE is an interesting ingredient, an antioxidant, an amino acid that can restore collagen and further moisturize the skin. Or maybe he can’t, because... its effect has not been proven.
Kiehl's also additionally warns that it is important to use a product with SPF in the morning, otherwise the acid included in the AHA may increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun's rays. This can really happen from acid, but it is interesting that in the composition it is in the very last place CITRIC ACID. Of course, the ingredients in the composition can be in any order, as soon as their content becomes less than 1%, but the concentration will be less than 1%, which may not be completely ineffective.
According to my feelings, nothing happened to my facial skin after this mask. In the morning nothing changed and after several uses too. It didn’t provide much hydration either, so I didn’t really understand why this mask was needed.
AQUA / WATER, PROPANEDIOL, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER / SHEA BUTTER, GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, ARGININE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, PRUNUS ARMENIACA KERNEL OIL / APRICOT KERNEL OIL, LAUROYL LYSINE, VACCINIUM MYRTILLUS FRUIT EXTRACT, OLEA EURO PAEA OIL / OLIVE FRUIT OIL, CETEARYL GLUCOSIDE , SQUALANE, NEOHESPERIDIN DIHYDROCHALCONE, CORIANDRUM SATIVUM SEED OIL / CORIANDER SEED OIL, TOCOPHEROL, SACCHARUM OFFICINARUM EXTRACT / SUGAR CANE EXTRACT, SCLEROTIUM GUM, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, FERULIC ACID, CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS FRUIT WATER / ORANGE FRUIT WATER, CITRUS LIMON FRUIT EXTRACT / LEMON FRUIT EXTRACT, XANTHAN GUM, LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA OIL / LAVENDER OIL, MENTHA PIPERITA OIL / PEPPERMINT OIL, ORYZA SATIVA BRAN OIL / RICE BRAN OIL, ACER SACCHARINUM EXTRACT / SUGAR MAPLE EXTRACT, CI 77288 / CHROMIUM OXIDE GREENS, LINALOOL, HELIANTHUS AN NUUS SEED OIL / SUNFLOWER SEED OIL, PHYTIC ACID, LIMONENE, CITRAL, GERANIOL, CITRIC ACID
The next mask is the Night Moisturizing Mask, which has already become almost a cult favorite. Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque - 1440 - 2600 rub.
It is really very moisturizing and contains glycerin, squalane and Shea butter (GLYCERIN, SQUALANE, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER / SHEA BUTTER). The mask itself is jelly-like and odorless. It is applied to cleansed skin at night. It is recommended to blot it before going to bed, but for me it is completely absorbed.
In the morning I can say for sure that my skin looks much better, younger, rested and full of strength. I really liked this effect. I am ready to recommend this mask to everyone and for all ages, but except for those who have very sensitive skin.
A little more detail about the composition:
PROPYLENE GLYCOL - needed for additional hydration and helps other ingredients penetrate the skin.
TRIETHANOLAMINE is a special ingredient that increases the pH of the formulation and mixes other ingredients of the formulation. The interesting thing is that it can potentially irritate the skin. Definitely not suitable for sensitive skin.
CARBOMER - helps oils and other components mix and not separate from each other and makes the cream gel-like.
UREA - strange as it may seem, synthetic urea, which is present in the composition, can gently exfoliate the skin, which gives a slight anti-age effect.
DIMETHICONE - silicone for extra moisture. It’s very funny, but on the website they write that this mask does not contain silicones. I don’t understand why you should scare everyone with these silicones and still include them in the composition. In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of here at all; silicones in cosmetics certainly won’t harm you.
AQUA / WATER, GLYCERIN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SQUALANE, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER / SHEA BUTTER, TRIETHANOLAMINE, CARBOMER, UREA, DIMETHICONE, HYDROXYETHYLPIPERAZINE ETHANE SULFONIC ACID, PHENOXYETHANOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, IMPERATA C YLINDRICA ROOT EXTRACT, OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUS ROOT EXTRACT, SODIUM CITRATE, CITRIC ACID, ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, CHLORPHENESIN, PSEUDOALTEROMONAS FERMENT EXTRACT, DISODIUM EDTA, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER
Of all three masks, I only liked the last one. The rest can also be used, but as additional care, not primary care. Everyone needs to decide for themselves what to use depending on their skin type and given needs, but I think we shouldn’t forget that the main care and effect will come from products that stay on the skin for a long time, and that miracles don’t happen
