Body Care Set $51 Value

I've been using Kiehl's Creme de Corps for years, ever since my BFF sent it to me as a birthday gift. It's my "go to" moisturizer. When I'm in a rush and I don't have time for a full moisturizing and makeup regime, I make sure I use this creme, in place of everything else! I use it during the day and it's also my night creme. I recently sent Kiehl"s Creme de Corps to my BFF as a birthday gift, to return the blessing many years later. She received it, as I did, with much gratitude and love!

I don't get it, I really don't. I've seen so many good reviews for this product, that being a lip balm junkie, I had to try it, and I can't understand why it's getting such rave reviews. The first thing I noticed was the applicator...Think toothpaste tube. You have to squeeze it out onto your finger or a tiny bit onto your lip then smear it around with your finger. Talk about inconvenient. Second thing I noticed was the petroleum taste and feel. All the people who love the "feel" of this product would be just as suited with a tub of vaseline for a fraction of the price. Even though I was turned off from the beginning, I decided to keep using it regularly for a week - I had a cold and my lips were more dry than normal. This did not help AT ALL. It soothed my lips as soon as it went on, but it did nothing to soften them over time. I finally broke down and used some blistex (the liquid one with the roller ball) and instantly my lips were less dry and they stayed that way all night. I'll never buy this product again and I'll certainly think twice about purchasing any other kiehls products.

I've tried most all the drug store brands made for very dry skin and many expensive brands from the dermatologists' offices and department stores. Nothing comes close to moisturizing my skin as well as this. Best of all, it doesn't leave any greasy residue because it penetrates exceptionally well. Been using it as my body moisturizer for three years now and soooo wish I'd tried it sooner. My man regularly compliments the silky softness of my skin. That's a great thing for someone who battled dry, flaky skin to hear. (He's never known me with dry skin and as long as they keep making this stuff, he never will.) This past winter I also discovered it makes the best lip moisturizer. My lips were a mess during a trip to NYC. I'd forgotten my lip balm and my facial moisturizers weren't making a dent in the scales. Used this in desperation and much to my surprise, my crusty lips were soft in a matter of minutes. I've never experienced that quick a turn around, not with Vaseline or expensive lip balms, etc. Been sleeping with a thick coat of this on my lips ever since and now never have chapped lips. It works better than the rest because the moisture really penetrates. I still use a lip balm sometimes, as this stuff isn't the right base for some lipsticks, but for overall lip condition, this has been a holy grail product. I used to share this stuff with all my friends and family but rarely have to these days as most all are converts who have their own. Even my Dad, who hated every other moisturizer he tried on his very dry skin and who thinks department store beauty products are all pure scam, now buys and uses this stuff regularly.

This may be the best body lotion I have ever used. It feels more like a cream, but don't be detered, it sinks in really well and keeps skin moisturized all day . I have mature dry crepey skin, that looks a whole lot better after applying this lotion. It has a light pleasant scent as well. I am looking forward to seeing positive results continue.
