- Answer I don't know but the stores are usually quite nice about giving you some small sample bottles, so you can discard them after use. by Gloria M 05/03/12
- Answer Not sure if there is a specific travel size for purchase - but the sample of the product is great for travel. Ask for a sample! by Jamie L 05/03/12
- Answer I don't believe they carry a travel size, but the sales staff was more than happy to give me a sample size which was more than adequate for travel. The sample size was a very small glass bottle with dropper. Perfect for even a week-long trip! by Brenda J 05/03/12
Question i am 23 years old, is it too early for me to use this product, seems like it's more appropriate for woman around 40?
- Answer I am 29 and I use professional skin care products. Midnight concentrate absorbs into my skin, has an awesome aromatic scent, and makes my skin look so bright in the morning it's just like I had a glycolic peel! by Leslie E P 05/02/12

Question i just purchased this product but noticed that it has sunflower oil. I am sensitive to sunflower and I am wondering how much of it is in the product? I noticed it is listed last on the ingredients, i am not sure if it is insignificant enough that i should not be worried about?
- Answer Hello -- We at Kiehl's always recommend consulting with a physican if you would like to use a product and you are allergic to any of the ingredients. We also recommend patch testing to make sure that any formulation won’t cause irritation or an allergic reaction. While all of our products are formulated with sensitive skin in mind, it is difficult to say which products will and won’t cause allergic reactions – every individual’s skin is different. by Kiehl's A 05/10/12
Question used in night or day?
- Answer I love this delicious light but nourishing oil. I use at night along with the absinthe eye creme. Great combination! by Megan H 05/01/12
- Answer I use this every night and wake up to beautiful soft skin. I am 52 and my skin is starting to dry out. If you put it on right after your shower , it works even better! by wendy s 04/29/12
- Answer night by Rui S 04/29/12
- Answer I use it at night, don't know if that is right? by Joanne W 04/28/12
- Answer Wow, did she read the name? MIDNIGHT Recovery Concentrate. So I use mine at night. by Lucille M 04/28/12
Question I have a sample of the midnight recover concentrate. How do I use it? After cleansing, after moisturizing? Is it for face or eye area? There are no directions on sample. Thanks.
- Answer I use this before I go to bed every-night. Sometimes after my toner, sometimes directly after cleansing. I feel really good in the morning. The smell of it is really comfortable and good for sleep. I put it all over my face except the eye area. by ao z 04/22/12
- Answer after cleansing,toner,put the midnight recover concentrate on,then moisturizing...feel so nice :D by Meg F 04/21/12
- Answer After cleansing, and after toner (if you are using the toner) Apply all over face , and I do the throat area as well, wait about 20 seconds and apply your moisturizer. Works for me! by Collette P 04/19/12
- Answer Before using the Midnight Recovery Concentrate, I cleanse my face in the early evening, apply the Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner and allow time for my skin to breathe. Prior to bed, I apply a nickel or so size amount of the Midnight Recovery Concentrate to the palm of my hand, rub both hands together, and then apply the Concentrate (rubbing upward/inward) to my cheek, chin, eye, forehead and neck areas (similar to giving yourself a facial). I then apply Creme d'Elegance Repairateur (in same manner above). I’m no expert, but this application and product really works for me! by Cami R 04/19/12
- Answer I use it before the moisturizing, actually, i am not so sure about that, but this is the way i use it. by yang g 04/19/12
- Answer Use the Midnight Recovery Concentrate after cleansing. Use just a couple of drops, it really is a concentrate! It is for your face, I would avoid the eye area. Use it under moisturizer, or alone; it leaves your skin feeling super soft! Love this stuff! by Cindy J 04/19/12
- Answer I use it after cleansing and just on my face. I don't use it on the eye area. I use eye cream there. by Karin J 04/19/12
- Answer Use at night before you go to bed after you cleanse your face. I only use eye moisturizer when I use MRC, I don't have excessively dry skin. I put three drops on a cotton ball and apply to cheek area and sometimes forehead. When I wake up I have a healthy glow. by Kimberly H 04/18/12
- Answer Hi! I use this every night after cleasing and I don't even use a night time moisturizer anymore! You truly don't need a pm moisturizer when you use this product (of course you still need a daytime moisturizer). This product is amazing and you will see results after the first application if you use a few extra drops. I also put it on the back of my hands and elbows. I hope you love it as much as I do! by Lisa P 04/18/12
- Answer I've been used it for a long time .It is for face. you can use it as a serum, so using after cleansing is ok. But as I'm a combination skin type, I'm not gonna use it in spring and summer. Hope this can help you. by Jingni H 04/18/12
Question Can this concentrate be used in the morning? Or only at night?
- Answer --I think it is the very best at night when skin rejuvenates naturally. But, I have used it during the day as well because it is light on the skin - I love how it feels and a little goes a long way. by Amanda H F 04/17/12
Question Can i use the biological peel after i put the midnight recovery?
Question Can I use this with the Dark Spot Corrector? If so, which one should I put on first?
- Answer I personally use my dork spot corrector at day time and my midnight recovery at night.my skin look and feel better and my dark spot are getting lighter. by carmen m 04/13/12
- Answer I tried using both and I didn't really feel the effects, but then again I don't really have darkspot trouble areas. I felt like the consistencies of the products clash, so I love using the midnight recovery concentrate at night by itself, only with the midnight recovery eye, that's when i've notices and felt it's effects most. I think the dark spot solution might be better by itself.. by Sophia R 04/11/12
Question can it be used by men?
- Answer I do not see why not. What this product targets would clearly benefit men as well as it is meant to help produce a smoother, restorative effect. I saw results fairly quickly so a man would not get get discouraged using it. Men would also find it "user friendly" as it is not greasy, it is absorbed by your skin right away and it doesn't have to be used with any other product to reap its benefits. It is actually a great idea-might give my husband some for Father's Day!! by Patricia C 04/25/12
- Answer It really depends on your type of skin. If your skin is oilly, then my suggestion is not using it. It really works for anti-aging. I bought for my mom and she likes using it. But she is 50 years old. Since men's skin is more oily than women generally, it is may too much for you. However, if you have really dry skin, why not have a try. It's GOOD by jing g 04/09/12
- Answer I think it can be used for men, but men may not like the smell of lavender. If the guy has oily skin type, he won't like it. It moistens skin very well. by simin H 04/09/12
Question can you use this around the eye area without causing irritation in your eyes?
- Answer For the same benefits of the Midnight Recovery Concentrate but suited for the eye area, I recommend the Midnight Recovery Eye: <a href="http://www.kiehls.com/Midnight-Recovery-Eye/100016,default,pd.html?start=2&cgid=face-midnight-recovery-concentrate" target="_blank">http://www.kiehls.com/Midnight-Recovery-Eye/100016,default,pd.html?start=2&cgid=face-midnight-recovery-concentrate</a> by Kiehl's A 04/30/12
- Answer I don't use it around my eyes. Usually face creams are not the best for around the eyes. by alex c 04/09/12
- Answer I use it around my eyes and it has not caused any irritation. Be mindful, however, that it does have a lavender oil in it so I'm guessing that could cause irritation for some. Kiehls does sell a Midnight Recovery specifically for the eye area, but I think the consistency is different. I love the original because it disappears into the skin. P.S. I put a tiny droplet in my liquid foundation to make it smooth on easier:) Oh...one last thing...it lasts a loooong time. I bought my bottle Oct 2011 and still have at least a half of a bottle remaining. I hope this helps! by PAM W 04/04/12
Question price of forest rain cologne ?

Love this product, it's easily absorbed, does NOT cause issues with my sensitive skin and helps keep my aging skin look young again!
This is soothing to my sensitive skin, smells wonderful, and is good for either overnight treatment or to perk up tired skin after the workday before going out. Absorbs in; not oily or greasy.

Have been using the sample sizes and love it. I add a drop of it to my night time moisturizer (Ultra Facial Cream) when I need an extra oomph. It smells amazing. And my skin feels healthy, not oily, when I wake up. Don't use too much though - just a drop or two is plenty!

To have rejuvenated skin in the morning
This is the best night serum I have ever used, you can honestly see and feel it working "overnight".

reviews
I tried the sample and loved the result after a few days! It was a very subtle lavender scent that made it easy to drift off to sleep with. The next morning, my face felt smooth, moisturized, and revitalized.
I wanna try it
I went into a store to get a facial scrub and the sales person gave me samples of this. I love it! Saw the difference the next day! My skin glows!
Tried sample - really felt super on my skin - think it really does something beneficial!
love it
I tried a sample for a few weeks and loved it! My skin was soft, looked refreshed, and smelled so lovely.
reorder because this really does help my skin in just one night.
Have only been using the sample received, and have noticed my skin is softer and alittle goes along ways. Also want to continue to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
I have used this product several times when I have received samples. LOVE IT. It's not greasy but moisturizes and makes my skin so soft
BEST THING I HAVE EVER USED TO MAKE MY SKIN LOOK MORE YOUTHFUL
I received a sample of this from Nordstrom and I'm absolutely hooked. It smells fantastic, and my skin has looked amazing since I started using it.
Love it makes my skin feel soft and moist
already have
Excellent product -- seems to reduce pore size and plump skin, does not clog pores
Smooths my skin. Helps me look younger.
friend
not sure
I have been using this product for several months; not only do I love the way that it smells but I feel that the texture, tone , and appearance of my skin has completely changed. I am 49 years old, and while people normally assume I am younger, I thing this has contributed to even younger looking skin. Even my dogs want to lick it off of my face!
I wa susing this product for awhile & noticed a real difference in my skin. It looked softer & even & felt softer. I ran out & my skin started looking ruddy & discolored in spots. I'm going back to Midnight recovery ASAP!!!
I have extremely dry skin along with the use of other nightime products this is part of my nightly routine
It's new. Just wanted to see if it works for me. I am over 70 and need all the help I can get.. :-}
Might as well try the No. 1 product.
I liked the sample
I used it in the past and really like how supple my skin felt.
I got a sample and loved it
My wife loves it.
IT HAS IMPROVED LOOK OF MY SKIN
I have been using this concentrate for over a year and love the smoothing, moisturzing effect it has had on my 60+ year old skin.
great review in lucky magazine and other reviews positive
I had a sample of this and couldn't believe how great my skin felt and looked after using it for 3 days. Couldn't wait to purchase a larger size and begin using it every night.
I have used it before and love it! I have very sensitive skin and I do not react to it.
I have been used this for about one year since I was in Japan.
tried sample at store in Vienna and loved it.
I try it's sample, it is wonderful!
have wrinkles around eyes
I'm always looking for a product that makes my skin fresher, and reading throught the reviews, this sounds like a sure thing!
for repair of age related wrinkles
I love it
excellent!!!
My skin felt incredible after using using a sample for a few days
i'm using right now
to help with sun damage and rosecea
I've read countless positive reviews about this product and my current serum is about to run out.
light, absorbs well
I received a sample with my last purchase. I was skeptical, I tried and was amazed!!! My skin looks and feels twenty years younger.. I can't imagine NOT using Midnight recovery every night ...
For my mother in law in Korea--she does a lot of hard work and doesn't spend much time on herself. I wanted her to have something simple and nice to put on before bed.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Had to buy. Tried it as a sample.
This is Kiehl's best product. If I'm having a rough skin week, I'll just do a light peel with the microdermabrasion and then put this on before bed and I'm bright and my skin is gorgeous by morning!
a sample at saks. it works!
Love this product
to try it out on my skin for smoothness.
I want to continue looking my best at all times , and I know while we sleep our skin rejuvinates, so this MRC will help in it's process.
I already have the Dark spot solution and wanted to see how this worked with this and the other samples
Interested in trying it for the skin calming and recovery qualities.
Because of the raving reviews on your website. I hope everyone was honest with their comments. I will post my own after I've had the chance to see the results for myself.
As a first time buyer I choose this product based on the Kiehl;s name and reputation and also after reading the great reviews
Now this one did the job, my skin looks plumper and the lines are softening!!!! I love this product. A few drops go a long way.
friend recommand
Want to see the results.
Introduced to product by Nay Ladbasri at Kiehl's on NW 23rd Avenue in Portland Oregon
This product is wonderful. My daughter uses it & sent this to me to use as well. It works better for me.
Can't live without it!
Love this product - a mandatory staple in my evening beauty line up .
it's a really good product to prevent wrinkles~
fine lines
This is silky lavender love in a bottle. Smells great - feels great - and my skin looks hydrated in the morning.
good choice for younger looking skin, I no longer use meaningful beauty products
Saw it in Lucky magazine.
I was given a sample by one of your associates at the Forum shops in LV, It is a wonderful product.
reviews convinced me to spend the $$ on it
I tried a sample and fell in love with the product. I am 45 and my skin is changing. When I used this product at night, I saw a difference in the morning.
Fast repair, results and I deserve it! ;)
Based on my past experiences with Kiehls products, I trust this product will be effective.
I was unable to find the cryste marine firming serum and this was recommended for use with the clearly corrective dark spot solution.
