Here’s how it works. You’ll sit down for a diagnosis at the Kiehl’s counter and chat about your skin? Do you have trouble with redness, wrinkles, patchy dryness, dullness or large pores? We all do. After addressing your skin concerns, you’ll rank them with the help of a dermatologist-inspired “Skin Atlas” which is basically a picture book of skin types in various conditions. A consultant will work with you to pinpoint which two skin problems should be considered top priority for treating.

The base solution starts with Kiehl’s Skin-Strengthening Concentrate. It’s made from Squalene, a botanical lipid that fortifies, hydrates and protects your skin. And Skin Lipid Complex that is chock full of rich, nourishing botanical oils like apricot, coriander, black currant and echium.

Depending on your goals, super-potent Target Complexes are then added to the Skin-Strengthening Concentrate. For example, if you want to get rid of redness you would add a Redness Neutralizing Complex of Sunflower Seed Extract and Vitamin E. Do you want to shrink your pores? Add Samphira Extract and Salicyclic Acid. In about four weeks, this complex works to reduce the appearance of pore clogging sebum on the skin. Got wrinkles? Retinol Concentrate and Pro-Retinol will join forces to reduce fine lines in just two weeks. Stay religious with this formula and you look even better in two months.

Maybe you recently got your female significant other a gift card for the holidays or Valentine’s Day. It’s an easy way to make a woman happy. The idea of getting 45 minutes or more to herself to have someone else soak, massage, and paint her fingers and toenails as she tunes out the rest of the world is pure bliss. The results last after she leaves — her nails are perfectly trimmed and shaped, and her toes are flip-flop ready even if it’s freezing outside.
