The Kiehl’s Products Everyone Should Use
The heritage of Kiehl's is one steeped in innovation and history. Since the brand’s inception as an apothecary in 1851, it has taken a holistic approach to skin and health, forming tinctures, teas, herbs and oils. So proud of the pioneering and sophisticated formulations, it became one of the first companies to display the full ingredient list of a product on the packaging in 1924 – before the USA mandated the need to do so.
Fast forward to today, and Kiehl’s is still combining charming apothecary-style skincare with scientific innovation (hello, Calendula Herbal Extract Toner). We’ve rounded up some of our favourite Kiehl’s products that we think you should know about, from star products to newly launched gems. Happy shopping!

The Best Kiehl’s Skincare to Have in 2024
Kiehl's
Ultra Facial Cream, £8.00
Best for dry skin
To create its iconic Ultra Facial Cream, Kiehl’s harnesses the power of nature's riches, magicking rare ingredients from the Australian outback and extracts from faraway sea glaciers into this celebrated skincare solution. Formulated with a featherlight texture, this hydrating hero is composed with olive-derived squalane to reduce moisture loss and Vitamin A to strengthen the skin's protective barrier, cocooning your complexion in a sumptuous veil of hydration.
Kiehl's
Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum, £50.00
Best for refining texture
Thought you knew everything you need to know about retinol? Think again. This thoughtful serum has a cleverly designed ‘micro-dose’ formulation: essentially, a technology which delivers all the youth-boosting benefits of retinol in precise doses, to keep those pesky side effects (redness or peeling) to a minimum.
Kiehl's
Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Aqua Gel, £33.50
Best for sun protection
A good facial SPF needs to tick multiple boxes (lightweight; easily absorbed; high protection from UVA and UVB rays, to name a few). It’s for these reasons that this one scores top marks from us; the light gel texture absorbs quickly and leaves a shine-free finish.
Kiehl's
Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, £30.00
Best for targeting the appearance of fine lines
Laden with ultra-rich avocado and shea butter to infuse moisture, this eye cream is your ticket to a healthy-looking skin. Despite the buttery texture, it absorbs well to create the optimum canvas for makeup. Those with sensitive eyes need not worry; this cream has the approval of ophthalmologists.
Kiehl's
