Hi dearies! Weeks ago I accepted Kiehl's Philippines #WokeUpLikeThis challenge. I posted a photo of my bare face on my Instagram account @Kathneko. That photo was taken upon waking up, I can say that my skin was dull and a bit oily. I have a fair skin tone and there are times that I look pale and sickly. I've been searching for a skin care product that will restore moisture and make my skin glow even without makeup. To tell you honestly, I'm shy to show you my bare face photo. Yes, acne and other skin impurities are not visible already because of organic soaps and current skincare routine but the healthy glow is missing.
This product is a cult fave and been raved by beauty bloggers worldwide. It's also in my lemming for the longest time not until Kiehl's Philippines sent me this bottle. I've been using this product for more than two weeks now and I can say the texture of my skin is different and it's glowing when I look in the mirror first thing in the morning! More information about the product below, scroll down please :)

Here's a photo of moi after 14 days of using Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate every night. No bb cream, face powder, and eyeliner. I used my favorite eyebrow powder to fill in my brows. You can see a more healthy skin, even though I have eyebags I'm not shy to show a selfie of my bare face. I don't have flawless skin. You can still see the freckles on my cheeks. It's all the glow and the radiance that's why I highly recommend this product :)

| Product Review: Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Selfie no filter :) |
What I like:
- The scent- even though it's herbal-like I can tolerate it. This one smells lavender.
- Made from natural extracts and beauty oils. See list of ingredients :)
- A little amount goes a long way, as in a long way. I only need 2-3 drops for my entire face. I think this 30 ml bottle will last for a year!
- Very handy and travel-friendly bottle.
- Kiehl's MRC is easily absorbed once applied.
- Non-greasy and I don't feel the oily texture once the concentrate is absorbed by my skin.
- There's a soothing and calming effect after application.
- The glow is really obvious in the morning after waking up.
- Made my skin soft and smooth to touch.
- It made my face brighter.
- Easily accessible.
- Batch and manufacturing date printed at the bottom of the packaging.
- Free from paraben, fragrance, and mineral oil.
What I don't like:
- It gave me a small cystic pimple on my chin.
- It will be expensive for budget-conscious individuals.
Will I repurchase?: Yes but not for now because this bottle will last me for a year.
Recommendation:
I give this product a 4.25/5 rating. This serum is one of the best skin care products that I have tried to date. Even though it gave me a small cystic pimple on the first 3 days of use, the glowing skin is what I'm aiming for. I can live with one cystic pimple because I know it will heal in the next few days. I have a spot treatment for that so I'll just leave the pimple and concentrate more on what this product is meant for- healthy and glowing skin with fine lines/pre-mature wrinkle eraser on the side.
I've been hearing positive reviews about it even before I started blogging so this one is on my skincare wish list for a very long time as what I've mentioned above. I'm glad that Kiehl's Philippines sent me a full-sized bottle to try. I'm crossing this on my wishlist but will definitely not crossing on my next skincare essentials shopping list :) I highly recommend this product. It's also an anti-aging regimen so if you're on your late 20's, you might need this to start your anti-aging regimen early.
