I am a big fan of Kiehl’s products. i already use their face wash, midnight recovery concentrate and line reducing serum. Their Midnight Recovery concentrate was one of my first purchase, and I swear by that product. I cannot literally go to sleep without putting few drops of it on my face. That’s the only skincare product  that I travel with. I only need a few drops on my face at night, and it turns my extremely dry skin into healthy, radiant skin. It completely reverses the effects of a long flight journey.

When I was invited last month for the launch of this Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate , I was super excited. You must have ready the full event post + pics here. Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate is a lighter version of Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I was really lucky to get this wonderful product to take home. In this post, I am writing my experience using this products, my first impressions on using it etc.20151106101036

My experience using Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate

This is a facial oil that can be used during day time, it’s a very light weight oil than their Midnight Recovery Concentrate. It doesn’t feel greasy/heavy on the skin.

The oil has a pale yellow color, very light weight, with a lovely warm citrusy sort of smell which I think comes from the ginger root. I use about 2-3 drops and smooth it over the entire face and neck. It takes about 2 minutes to completely absorb. I use it after my serum and before my moisturizer. I had no issues with applying my usual skincare products and makeup on top of this facial oil

It contains sunflower oil to help reinforce the skin barrier, tamanu oil to reduce the appearance of daily damage & replenish and soothe skin, and ginger root essential oil to preserve skin efficacy. I have a very sensitive skin and this product hasn’t irritated my skin or caused any breakouts.  It really does an awesome job of hydrating the facial area. Also fight daily skin stresses and fatigue, helping to prevent your skin from looking tired.20151106101242

The dropper makes it super easy to control the product. last time I purchased some items from store, I got 5 ml sample versions of midnight recovery concentrate. I am planning to reuse the mini bottles to take the product in while travelling. I have a lot of long journeys coming up in Dec. I cannot ever travel without this product. 2015110610132820151106101134

Overall a wonderful product that fights daily skin stresses and fatigue, helping to prevent your skin from looking tired. Very very  lightweight on skin and sinks into my skin very quickly. Never caused any irritation or breakouts. I find my skin more healthy and radiant throughout the day. Also, there are no dry patches on my  face. I am doing the microdermabrasion treatment at home and this product helps a lot in healing the skin faster. Also, the fresh citrus scent is not overpowering even for my sensitive nose. Hydrates the skin all day.  • Paraben free • 100% natural origin • Mineral oil free • Noncomedogenic • Non-acnegenic. Contains sunflower oil, tamanu oil and ginger root essential oil which are excellent for skin. I am very much sure, I will repurchase this product. I have already purchased one for my sister.

Lovely review!! I have been longing to use Kiehls products but not sure whether it will suit my oily skin. which Keihl’s product would you recommend for me Renji ? I am soon planning to add one to my skincare 🙂

midnight recovery concentrate and daily reviving can be used…As its very light weight, it suits even oily skin.

I’m so addicted to kiehl’s now.. the first product i used was Clear corrective dark spot solution n i swear by it.. second was turmeric masque.. now that I bought the second bottle of my CC solution and rare earth masque.. the sales women gave me so many samples of MRC, DRC and Iris essence.. I’m loving all three.. Have you used Iris essence? How’s it? The lady said it speeds up absorption level of further products..
Also, have you used CC dark spot solution? How’s it different from DRC affect wise? Let me know 🙂

    Hi dear…thanks for stopping by…I never used Iris Essence or CC Solution. I have used MRC. It never gave nay irritation. It was a feel good night oil that I loved on my face during harsh NZ winters. I loved how my skin looked when I used to use it….DRC has a really good fragrance…I find it very very light weight on skin and I love to put it every morning after I take bath. By the time I finish my works and get ready for office, It ‘d have got absorbed
