It's good to apply it thickly like a night cream type, especially in the winter and deep winter.
Cons
The ingredients didn't agree with me. I don't think I'll repurchase. The ingredients could be better.

I have extremely dry skin, so even just applying a moisturizer can sometimes leave me feeling a bit tight. When that happens, I'll scoop out some of this product, warm it up in my palms, and then press it into my skin. It's a lifesaver, especially in the winter! That's why Kiehl's is unbeatable for us dry-skinned folks ❤️
Cons
If you apply this directly after toner without a moisturizer, you'll actually end up with a different kind of tightness, not dryness. To use this product properly, you have to make sure your skin is well-hydrated with a moisturizer first, and then just lightly layer this on top.

My skin is a bit dehydrated and sensitive. As it's winter, my skin is extremely dry, so I was looking for a good night cream and found the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I normally use Kiehl's Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate and it works really well for my skin, making it soft and hydrated, so I had high hopes for this Kiehl's product as well. It definitely provides more substantial hydration compared to my regular moisturizer. The texture is better than expected for a night balm - it applies smoothly without feeling too heavy or greasy. It's thicker than a regular cream, but not to the point where I need to melt it or it drags when applying. It just glides on effortlessly. The absorption is also decent - I don't have to really work it into my skin, and I find it's fully absorbed by the time I'm done with my other nighttime routine steps. Since it lasts longer than my usual moisturizer, this is a godsend for someone like me who struggles with dry skin in the winter and isn't satisfied with regular hydrating creams. I don't even need to use a separate facial oil with this, it's that nourishing.
Cons
The scent... the scent is just awful ㅜㅜ I'm not usually very sensitive to smells, and I don't mind the fragrances in most of the other products I use, except for shampoo. But with this, I just can't ignore the unpleasant odor, no matter how hard I try ㅜ
Tip
If the night balm feels too heavy during your morning routine, you can use your regular moisturizer and just apply a thin layer of the balm on top to lock in the hydration for longer.

I received this product as a gift and tried it out. As it is a balm-type, even a small amount was enough to keep my skin well-moisturized. So I also used it on my body, and it worked really well.
Cons
I'm quite sensitive to scents, so the product's distinctive fragrance wasn't particularly appealing to me. And being an oily-skinned person, the heavy, balm-like texture was a bit off-putting.
Tip
To improve the application, you can warm up the product in your palms before use, or mix it with a thinner cream-type product.

It has a moist and supple feel~ Seems good for dry skin
Cons
The smell is a bit unpleasant when applying it ㅠㅠㅠ And since it's a night-type, the spreadability is not great

It had good moisturizing properties as it was a night-time type. It felt like my skin was being filled in.
Cons
It stung a bit when I first applied it. I'm not sure why that was the case... And the scent, haha, it's really not great. It's hard to even describe what the scent is like. Those with oily skin might want to avoid it as it has an oily feel to it!

The product was great to use at night when my skin gets dry in the winter.
Cons
It felt a bit thick, so I had to mix it with oil to apply it more easily.

I realized that even in the summer, my skin is extremely dry, so I came to modify my personal information. I used the Ultra Facial Moisturizing Balm in the summer for cleansing, toning, and applying a light cream, layering it thickly on my face. The next day, my skin felt smooth and radiant.
Cons
The smell is really strange.. and even though my skin is not sensitive at all, sometimes it stings a bit, and I want to wipe it off, which is odd.

First, I have dry skin in the winter. I tried a sample and purchased it, and it's good for moisturizing.
Cons
The formula is a bit hard? It's a bit sticky and the spreadability is disappointing.

It was so dry that I tried applying the sample I received. There was a huge mess with white flaky skin, but after using it for three days, it immediately calmed down and I felt like my skin was instantly replenished with moisture.
Cons
It says there are no acid-based ingredients, but my acne is immediately flaring up. I wonder what ingredient could be the cause of this. "ㅡ" Since my skin is on the drier side, I was thinking of trying it out for winter use, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to use up all the sample I received..
Tip
"ㅡ"?
