울트라 훼이셜 베리어 스틱 밤

I'm not sure what to think. The volume is a bit small, and the keyring packaging seems unnecessary... haha

I really love this! As someone with super dry skin, it's so convenient to just swipe it over the parched areas as a final step. It works wonders!

I did experience some blemishes. I think it might be because my skin tends to become sensitive during seasonal transitions...

I received this as a birthday gift in late March and tried it out. It wasn't too oily and felt wonderfully hydrating! The absorbs was also great! However, my face tends to get super sensitive skin during seasonal changes, causing some hives, so I think I'll need to use it in winter instead. Since it's a balm-type product, I used it on particularly dry areas like under my eyes and nasolabial folds.

It's also great for applying to neck wrinkles as needed.

No blemishes, great absorption, and honestly, I have no complaints at all!

I've tried several stick balms, but personally, Kiehl's product has been the best fit for me! It definitely feels more hydrating than oily, and leaves my skin feeling moisturized. Just a quick swipe over dry areas like under-eye wrinkles or smile lines, and you're done. Everything about it is great, but I was surprised how quickly I went through it! I think it's because the application is so pleasant that I found myself reapplying several times a day, which probably made it run out faster.

The formula doesn't provide deep hydration, so it's best used as the final step in your skincare routine.

It's on the richer side, so those with oily skin might prefer a lighter product.

The volume is more substantial than expected. It's surprisingly handy for touch-ups, or around the mouth after brushing teeth. With no distinct scent, it's great for those with fragrance sensitivities.

The amount feels small for the price, and it gets used up faster than expected.

I was surprised how smoothly it went on when I applied the Kiehl's stick balm over my foundation-covered smile lines and then reapplied cushion on top. It comes with a keyring, so I can dangle it from my bag and easily touch up areas by gently rubbing it in, letting it absorb quickly, and then reapplying makeup. It's also great for lightly applying at night instead of mist when my skin feels dry. The cooling effect is a nice bonus!

When touching up your makeup, it's good to apply a little bit to areas that tend to get dry frequently.

I did feel a slight tingling sensation! This is because my skin is extremely sensitive - I even have to use only baby shampoo, that's how sensitive it is! Other skin types should be fine with it though!

My skin type is prone to seborrheic dermatitis and atopic conditions. If the ingredients aren't suitable, I immediately develop red rashes and itching. I have super sensitive skin and deep dryness, so mists and hydrating sticks are my must-haves!

Although one ingredient gave me pause, the Kiehl's hydrating stick balm was generally gentle on my skin!

When touching up my makeup, I lightly wipe with a tissue, apply the stick balm, and then add cushion foundation. It makes my skin look as fresh and dewy as when I first applied makeup! I've tried other hydrating stick balms, but they didn't address my deep dryness at all. This one, however, applies smoothly without feeling particularly drying.

It's also great to apply a little bit to frequently dry areas like around the mouth or eyes before doing your base makeup!

Due to its stick format, with repeated use, makeup and other products might accumulate on the application surface.

It's great for reapplying over makeup instead of using a regular moisturizer.

If you want to use it hygienically until the end, you can only use it when you're bare-faced or just wearing sunscreen. This is probably unavoidable, but it's the most disappointing aspect. The texture is somewhat crumbly, so if you twist up too much and apply it, especially around the edges, it can break off easily. I suspect the reason it's unusually thick for a stick product is to prevent it from breaking. You really need to twist up just the right amount and apply it gently for it to adhere well to your skin!

I travel by plane a lot, and we all know how incredibly dry the cabin air can be... My skin is already on the dry side, so during long flights, it used to feel like it was cracking. I didn't want to carry a cream every time, so I was really struggling to find a solution. But this product? It's been a real game-changer! It looks like a glue stick, but when you apply it, it feels so moisturizing and soothing on the skin. I'm in love! I also bought the caterpillar-shaped keyring case. It glows in the dark, which is perfect for those dimly lit cabins. When I'm half-asleep and need to find it, I don't have to rummage through my bag - it's right there! Plus, it looks super cute hanging on my bag.

Unfortunately, you can only use this when applying sunscreen alone. It's a bit difficult to apply after makeup.

It absorbs well and has a warming sensation, so I use it frequently! The cooling effect is also great.

As a fan of Kiehl's skincare, I'd love to see similar stick formulations with vitamin or collagen benefits.

The stick format makes it convenient to apply around areas needing hydration like the eyes and mouth - just glide it on! Its compact size doesn't take up much space, making it perfect for on-the-go use. With a nearly unscented formula, it's not overwhelming and absorbs well when gently patted in. It has a nice balance of oil and moisture, so it's great for dry skin or during seasonal changes without feeling greasy or causing pilling.

Due to the nature of the stick format, it tends to attract dust easily, which makes it a bit challenging to use hygienically.

I love the cooling effect and how it doesn't pill when applied over makeup! It's perfect for spot-treating dry areas during seasonal changes. I'm using it regularly to provide targeted hydration where I need it most.
