Experience the NEW Kiehl’s Apothecary Preparations

October 31, 2016

Have you use Kiehl’s skincare products?  I know that I’ve used a variety of their products over the past few years.  I think my very first products from the line were some amazing bath soaks that I received from a friend as a birthday gift.  I think that sparked my interest and love for Kiehl’s.  Their latest launch is the Kiehl’s Apothecary Preparations.  This is a personalized skincare experience.

This one-on-one consultation with a trained expert is available in select Kiehl’s stores.  Lucky for me, I live close to the Dallas store and was able to partake in the experience.  After having my skin evaluated I left the store with one of their first-ever customized facial concentrates.  This personalized skincare product features potent concentrates that address my individual unique skin concerns based on the consultation and evaluation.

kiehls since 1851

Kiehl’s was founded in 1851 as an apothecary in New York City’s East Village, dispensing prescription medicine and customized herbal and natural remedies. Relying on their extensive pharmaceutical background, Kiehl’s founding family hand-made personalized skin remedies which were available in the Kiehl’s Pharmacy right up until the 1980’s. Today, this heritage, combined with Kiehl’s commitment to the highest level of customer service, has culminated in Apothecary Preparations.

With the use of a dermatologist-inspired Skin Atlas I was guided through my consultation to assess and rank the severity of my skin concerns.

Each Kiehl’s Targeted Complex is formulated to address a customer’s specific skin concern. Key ingredients in the Targeted Complexes have been selected for their efficacy and their liposoluble nature. They are highly potent and bring powerful efficacy to the finished product.

The Targeted Complexes include the following:

  • WRINKLE REDUCING COMPLEX with Retinol Concentrate & Pro-Retinol
  • TEXTURE REFINING COMPLEX with Vitamin F & LHA
  • VISIBLE REDNESS NEUTRALIZING COMPLEX with Sunflower Seed Extract & Vitamin E
  • PORE MINIMIZING COMPLEX with Samphira Extract & Salicylic Acid
  • BRIGHTENING COMPLEX with Vitamin C & Scotch Pine Extract

The Apothecary Preparation’s components were enclosed in a personalized box for me.  I then mixed them to activate them at home prior to first application.  I now have a highly potent, tailor-made skincare treatment to add into my skincare routine.  My name is on the bottle along with the customized formula of targeted complexes that I received.  I chose to work on brightening my skin along with improving the texture.

Customers interested in Apothecary Preparations can ask for the service upon any visit to a store in which it’s available, or schedule an appointment by calling the store in advance. The suggested retail price is $95.  More information is available at the Kiehl’s website.

Verdict:

The personalized one-on-one consultation was lovely.  I thought it was thorough, yet it was done in a very timely manner (nobody has time to spare these days).  I LOVE the way the packing is done.    I felt very scientific mixing my ingredients at home.  LOL!  I’ve been using the product for just over a week now and hope that it works to address my personal skincare concerns.

What do you think of this new Kiehl’s Apothecary Preparations?  Would you consider having this done to get personalized skincare that targets your concerns?

*PR sample for editorial consideration.  I received this product for free as part of my consultation.  All opinions are mine and are not influenced by anyone else.

    Kiehl’s is hit or miss for me but I would definitely want to try this if its going to be good! I’m currently a fan of their Ultra Facial Deep Moisture Balm and their Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant.

May is skin cancer awareness and melanoma awarenes May is skin cancer awareness and melanoma awareness month. This is my reminder to you to wear your sunscreen every single day and get annual skin checks. Early detection is key to a good outcome.

Both of these products from Beekman 1802 are keeping my skin healthy, hydrated and moisturized, and most importantly, protected from uva and uvb rays from the sun.☀️ In fact, goat milk has 31 active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier!🐐

Have you had your skin checked by a dermatologist in the last year? If not, please make an appointment now.

You can always use code Stacie20 on the @beekman1802 website for a discount. See the link in my profile or comment SHOP.☀️

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.
