'I swapped out my skincare routine for 11 of Kiehl's best selling products - this is my full review'
Spoiler alert: I'm not turning back

I don't know if its the weather, a decent run of not sleeping very well or something else entirely - but my skin is not looking its best at the moment.
While I'm not plagued by persistent breakouts or any really notable skin issues, it's just that my skin has been quite lacklustre at the moment which led to an urge to do a big skincare shake up.
Our favourite Kiehl's products
The shake up I came up with was to swap my under-achieving skincare routine out for a routine made up entirely of Kiehl's products. 11 of them in fact. Here are the details:
My skin type: Dry, freckly and partial to the odd hormonal breakout
How I tested: I swapped out my usual skincare routine for a routine made up of 11 of Kiehl's best selling products for two weeks.
The best selling Kiehl′s products I tested
Is Kiehl's cruelty-free?
As Kiehl's distributes products in countries where animal testing is required by law, it can't be considered a cruelty-free brand.
Is Kiehl’s vegan?
Kiehl's doesn't advertise itself as a vegan brand, as many of their products contain honey and beeswax.
Even if a product doesn't contain animal-derived ingredients, the fact that the brand hasn't achieved cruelty-free status means none of the products can technically be considered truly vegan.
Is Kiehl’s good?
After testing out this products consistently for a couple of weeks, I consider myself a Kiehl's convert.
All of the products I tried were high-quality and backed by research, and I'll be making most of them a part of my regular skincare rotation - and you can read through my full review to see why.
