Shop the Kiehl’s Black Friday Sales Extravaganza
Timothée Chalamet was spotted using its sunscreen. Emily Ratajkowski has turned to its high-performing cleanser. And Kendall Jenner has publicly flaunted her love for its eye cream. The brand in question? Why, Kiehl’s of course — a circa-1851 New York City apothecary that achieved worldwide fame, growing to become a skin and hair care giant prioritizing innovative, science-backed formulas that cut through the BS and deliver real results. Whether you’ve been a fan ever since the Ultra Facial Cream first hit the scene or are totally new to Kiehl’s but want to prep your dry skin for the wintertime with the best of the best in beauty, you’re in the right place: seeing as how Kiehl’s has just kickstarted its Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale, with deals of up to 50 percent off on top-rated favorites (plus a free five-piece skin care set when you spend over $125, because treating yourself shouldn’t stop at a mere discount).
Let’s talk about what’s included, shall we, since we know you’re just dying to upgrade your routine with Kiehl’s bestsellers for the face and body? Kicking things off is the aforementioned Ultra Facial Cream With Squalane, offered in multiple sizes to fit your needs and currently seeing a 30-percent-off markdown (fear not, if you can’t find it, it’s applied automatically in cart). Boasting over 7,000 reviews on the Kiehl’s site, the genius concoction runs on squalane, yes, but also glacial glycoprotein and pro-ceramides. To break it down, these heavy-hitting ingredients reduce the skin barrier’s moisture loss, protect it against various environmental stressors, and boost skin’s natural ceramide production so as to help further hydrate it. Per the brand, the cream penetrates skin “up to 15 surface layers deep,” while also aiding in redness reduction and being gentle on the most sensitive of skin types.

Want to get even more nitty-gritty, targeting a specific and unfortunate skin concern commonly known as “dark spots”? Go with the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Serum, another crowd favorite that corrects for this issue by brightening the target areas and helping even out the skin tone as a whole. It’s safe to use this gem morning and night before your moisturizer of choice, and you can either put it to work as a spot treatment or employ it all over on the face, hands, and décolletage area. The top seller is derm-tested, like all Kiehl’s selections, and can also help you achieve a plumper and brighter complexion.

And if it’s less of a specialized topical and more of a generalized toner you’re seeking to round out your makeup bag assortment with, the Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner is just the thing to grab while it’s also 30 percent off. Infused with soothing calendula and bio-peptides (which, according to Kiehl’s itself, “stabilize skin’s water-to-oil balance and reduce reactivity to aggressors”), the toner has achiever veritable cult-classic status after debuting in the ’60s. Since then, it’s been a customer go-to based on those soothing, oil-eliminating powers.

In case you get hooked on the calendula aspect of it all (which smells, by the way, absolutely divine if you ask us), there’s also the on-sale Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash for the taking. Though it converts to a foam texture on your face, the cleanser never robs skin of its natural moisture; instead, the gel-to-foam formula soothes, strips away “noise” like dirt, and allows you to walk away from the sink feeling absolutely refreshed.

During the winter season (which means cold and flu season in many cases), vitamin C also becomes a priority: both in our diets and, interestingly enough, what we put on our skin. So let Kiehl’s’ Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Serum live up to its adjectives in your life — “injecting,” so to speak, your face with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid that leave it dewier and smoother while also promoting the ironing out of fine lines. The best part? This tiny-yet-mighty bottle is TSA-approved, so you can totally stash it away in your weekender bag the next time you’re jet-setting.

Lastly, our editors recommend wrapping up your Kiehl’s haul — no matter if you’re shopping for your picky mom, mother-in-law, sister, any other woman in your life, or yourself (self-care season has arrived, baby!) — with the Super Multi-Corrective Cream. Another anti-aging top performer, it’s a force to be reckoned with against wrinkles, lines, uneven texture, and other less-than-ideal signs of aging. The unusual ingredient at play here is chaga mushroom, which is a natural glow promoter and grants the cream its subtly brownish hue. Massage this rich product into your face and neck region thoroughly to promote better blood flow… and consider following up with a gua sha face tool for good measure, to secure the benefits of lymphatic drainage.

We bet you became as hooked as we are on all things Kiehl’s after perusing this roundup. If so, tap into all the brand has to offer even further: by shopping its skin care gift sets (hi, advent calendar!) and extensive roster of hits that include everything from cocoa butter body lotion to facial sunscreen, as well as taking a peek at its hair category, where you’ll stumble upon beloved shampoos, conditioners, leave-in concentrates, and so much more.
As the famous saying goes, “it’s not a happy holiday without Kiehl’s.” (Fine, there is no such saying, but it makes sense in our minds, given how high-achieving and iconic the brand is, 170-plus years after its founding.) That being said, make your gifting adventures a joy and a breeze this season with its Cyber Week sale. Just remember the cardinal rule of online Christmas shopping: One for them, one for you.
