Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado: I used to suffer from a dehydrated under-eye area without really knowing it, and found that concealer always looked cakey on that part of my skin. I tried this stuff a couple of months ago and haven’t looked back. The formula is packed with avocado oil and shea butter, and goes on creamy and feels firming without being greasy.

We Need to Talk About Kiehl’s
A brand that needs no introduction, surely? In a nutshell: It is an American cosmetics brand that specializes in making premium skin, hair, and body care products. Founded as a single pharmacy in New York City’s East Village in 1851, Kiehl’s was purchased by the L’Oréal Group in 2000 and currently has more than 30 retail stores worldwide, as well as concessions in various high-end department stores.
