Except for the hair and body products like Creme de Corps, I didn’t use any Kiehl’s skin-care products until 2015.
Blogger friends swore by the Midnight Recovery Concentrate but I never realized why until last year. Often touted as one of the best antiaging serums in the market, Midnight Recovery Concentrate is actually more of an oil. It works best for normal-combination skin. OK, what does it do? If your skin is dry or you’ve had a rough day, two or three drops of this at bedtime will have your skin looking and feeling soft and supple in the morning.
This year Kiehl’s kicks off the holiday season with 10 limited-edition products designed in collaboration with graphic artist Kate Moross. Through the collection, Kiehl’s and Kate Moross bring together their mutual love for art, adorning the artfully crafted and beautifully designed Kiehl’s packaging. Here in the Philippines, best-sellers Ultra Facial Cream, Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Calendula Toner will come in special packaging.
This isn’t the first time Kiehl’s has teamed up with some of the world’s most-renowned and cutting-edge artists, such as Jeff Koons, KAWS, Kenny Scharf, Peter Max, Jeremyville and now Kate Moross.
“Kate’s imagination and creativity know no limits. This collection is uplifting, celebratory and distinctive—a break from the typical holiday,” said Maria Gustafson, senior vice president of global creative for Kiehl’s. “The collection is our biggest to date, including designs bursting with the festivity of the holiday season. You just want to own a piece of it.”
Kate Moross, a United Kingdom-based graphic artist, is known for her dynamic use of color and graphic treatments, which has spawned an entirely new doctrine in design. Applying her unique aesthetic to music videos, textiles, murals and editorial, Moross has cemented her place as one of the world’s most exciting young artists, recently working with global brands, such as Converse, Nike, MTV and now Kiehl’s.
The Kiehl’s x Kate Moross Collection includes:
