Received with Huge Air Bubble and
Not impressed with this cream at all - It wasn’t so much the smell as it was that it didn’t do ANYTHING for the dryness my skin’s been experiencing this winter. I gave it a week and began to notice the beginnings of a Reaction. So ~ Returned ! Def PASS -

Love it!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been trying the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream and I’m impressed. It’s very gentle and calming on the skin, specially when my face feels irritated or sensitive. The formula is lightweight, fragrance free, and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. My skin feels more hydrated and comfortable after using it. A great option if you’re looking for something simple to help soothe and protect your skin.

Soothing, lightweight cream that quickly calms dry
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this during a bad dry-skin phase and it really helped. Feels light but calming and my skin looked less irritated in a day. Totally recommended.

It's good for hands.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this broke up my face. Really really bad but, I have eczema on my hands and it helped out a lot for that. However, it's not even a full ounce of product. It's only .95 oz and I feel like that's kind of expensive for not even a full ounce of product. But while I have it I will use it on my hands and it has help. But it's probably just cuz of the oatmeal and you could get an oatmeal product for way cheaper elsewhere.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kiehls facial meltdown recovery cream is my new go to moisturizer. I suffer from eczema and itchy face. This has been a lifesaver and definitely recommend if you have itchy dry skin.

it works good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the way it felt on my skin, left no residue and i think its worth every penny! Lasts on your face doesn’t make it feel sensitive or anything good for skin!
