4 Products Formulated with Food-Inspired Skin Care Ingredients

We all know the benefits of eating your superfoods, but did you know that some superfood-inspired ingredients are found in the formulas of your favorite skincare products too? Ahead, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite Kiehl’s products that are formulated with food-inspired ingredients.

Kiehl’s Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate 

Kiehl’s formulated a nightly micro-peel with Quinoa Husk Extract. Kiehl’s Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate can help accelerate surface skin cell turnover to reveal fresher, newly radiant skin while visibly evening skin’s tone and refining the feel of rough texture over time. To use, cleanse skin thoroughly prior to application. Apply the formula every night before your moisturizer, avoiding immediate eye area.

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

Avocado can be used widely, from guacamole to vegan chocolate mousse. In this case, Avocado Oil is infused into a luxurious eye cream! Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado gently moisturizes the delicate eye area. What’s more, the concentrated texture doesn’t migrate into your eyes.

Kiehl’s Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner

Cucumber has long been recognized in the beauty sphere. (Just head to a spa and see all the slices plopped onto gals’ eyelids.) Cucumber fruit extract can be found in a handful of skin care products, including Kiehl’s Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner. The formula is the mildest of the brand’s toner collection, offering a gentle, balancing, and mildly astringent effect that leaves the skin looking soft, clean, and toned.  Simply saturate a cotton round and sweep across your facial contours.
