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.
ConsThe 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
TipIf 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.

ConsThe smell is a bit unpleasant when applying it ㅠㅠㅠ And since it's a night-type, the spreadability is not great

It felt like my skin was being filled in.
ConsIt 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!

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.
ConsThe 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.

It's great. When I mix it with my usual all-in-one product, which lacks moisture, there are no breakouts and my skin feels hydrated.
ConsThe smell is a bit strange haha. I got used to it after using it, but at first, I didn't want to apply it. Kiehl's products are usually like that.
TipWhen I mix a small amount of Kiehl's cream with a sensitive skin product, it replenishes the moisture without causing any breakouts.

ConsThe formula is too thick, so it's uncomfortable to apply, and the scent is not great. I didn't really feel anything bad, but for the first few days my face felt a bit stinging, though it was fine after a week.

Since it's nighttime, the formula doesn't slide off, so when you apply it to your face, it spreads easily. I first dab it on the back of my hand and gently rub it in before applying it to my face, and the moisturizing power is just incredible. I was amazed the moment I put it on - I couldn't even feel dryness. Out of everything I've tried, this seems to be the best in terms of moisturizing. But no matter how good it is, if you apply too much, your face won't be able to fully absorb it~ If you feel like your skin needs a lot of moisture, I'd recommend using this.
ConsI didn't really like the scent - it was a bit too mild and smelled kind of like medicine. After using it for about 5-6 days, I started getting little bumps on my face ㅜㅜ So I'm not using it right now, but they're almost all gone, so I'm planning to start using it again once my skin is fully healed.
TipDab it on the back of your hand and use your fingertips to gently massage it into your face - that makes it easier to apply.
