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 -

Lightweight soothing cream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this product!!! This recovery cream refresh my skin right away, given a soothing and nourish barrier. Very effective for dry skin and absorb quickly. No breakout so very suitable for sensitive skin

Worthy of a permanent spot in your routine especia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m 57 with mild eczema, psoriasis and rosacea so my skin can be a little unpredictable and this cream has been a nice surprise. It’s really great during flare ups, helping to reduce dryness, flaking and redness, without stinging which is rare. I love it mostly at nighttime or more targeted treatment rather than an all day moisturizer. Even though it’s not treatment for my conditions, it really helps to keep them in check. If your skin is like mine…mature, sensitive snd sometimes unpredictable, this is a product that feels like a safety blanket.

Soothing and moisturizing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kiehl's Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream is a godsend for my ultra sensitive skin. My skin is quite prone to redness and the colloidal oatmeal in this formula has really helped calm any irritation or redness I get. I use this as a last step in my skincare routine, and it gives my face such a gorgeous glow, especially in the morning. It feels so moisturizing, but not too heavy on the skin, despite being a cream, but that depends on your preference. It also keeps my skin from flaking, so that is definitely a huge plus.

Great for rosacea skin
This is calmed my rosacea and absorbs very well. Wit is think enough to last all day but it doesn’t feel thick at application. Would highly recommend you try this out bc I have stopped using my rosacea prescription bc of it!

Decent product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have eczema prone skin and I do think this product helped improve the appearance and texture of my skin. However, I wasn’t blown away. I wish it had absorbed more quickly. Overall, it was okay.
