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 ❤️
ConsIf 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.

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.

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.
ConsI'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.
TipTo improve the application, you can warm up the product in your palms before use, or mix it with a thinner cream-type product.

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.

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.
ConsIt 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..
