Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Review

For a few years now, there has been a lot of hype around the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. However, retailing at £36, it's not exactly something you want to spend your money on unless it works.

I purchased this product exactly one week ago and decided to give it a test run for the first week. I didn't change anything about my skincare routine, besides adding 3 drops of the concentrate to my face before bed every night.

All pictures were taken in the morning, after showering and/or cleansing. They are completely unedited, besides the watermark, of course.

* Everybody's skin is different. Even if we have the same skin type, the same products may result differently.

I hate to say that my first week of experience with the product was rather underwhelming. Although the product smells and feels great, I went from having slightly blemished skin, to having a pretty bad breakout.

Throughout the week I have had five painful under-the-skin spots on my forehead and bottom of my chin. There are both areas where I tend to break out anyway, but considering I am not expecting any hormonal spots, I haven't changed my diet, nor have I changed up any other products in my routine that were previously keeping my skin bearable, I can't help but say that I am not impressed with the concentrate.

My initial impression of it isn't the most positive, but I will continue to use it every night and I will be taking weekly pictures for the rest of the month and make up my mind about this product.

I will catch up with you later and update you on whether I will be keeping this product, or passing it onto a friend or family member who will love and use it more than myself.
