Kiehl's - Rare Earth Collection

Having a Kiehl's store right next to my favourite Froyo spot in Vienna, I barely can walk past it without at least taking a look at the shop window. On one of my last visits I was looking for a product to mattify my skin and help me with my astronomic pores. The friendly salesman, who was really cute btw, recommended me the Kiehl's Rare Earth Collection. Now I didn't want to pick up the products immediately, after all the only product of Kiehl's I was familiar with was the classic moisturizer which btw did an amazing job. The salesguy handed me out some testers and as soon as I went home I tried them out.

The Kiehl's Rare Earth Collection formulated with Amazonian White Clay is basically designed to cleanse and minimize pores in order to achieve a mattified better looking compexion. With that said on to the products I tried.



Kiehl's Rare Earth Daily Deep Pore Cleanser 
The product itself reminds me a bit of seafoam which I find actually quite nice. It is white with an almost invisible greyish hue. It smells like nothing in particular, although it has a slight clayish scent, which most of the white clay products have to themselves - it is not too prominent though. Putting in on damp skin it spreads and lathers gently. You can massage it in without problems. The only thing that bothered me a little was that washing it of it foamed up a little. I recommend taking it off with a washcloth and then rinse it off again with water to remove the last foamy bits. After removing the cleanser the skin feels squeaky clean, firm and fresh. Testing the cleanser for a couple of days now, I noticed that my skin looks clearer, fresher and overall nice. My complexion seems to have brightened up and my blemishes reduced to almost none. It will probably take some more time to cleanse out the pore disaster on my nose but this cleanser definitely passed the first tryouts. I will probably go and get it.





Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion
The lotion is quite fluid and very lightweight. The smell reminds me a bit of almond milk which I actually find quite nice. Putting on the lotion it sinks in within seconds leaving the skin soft and toned. Actually I quite like it. Having it tested for a few days also I find it's a great addition to the cleanser.

I actually quite like this line and would recommend it whole-heartedly to anyone who wishes to clear out and minimize their pores :-) I'll rate it 4/5 **** withdrawing one star because of the foaminess which I read is also occurring with the Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask.
