WHY WE LOVE IT
Why We Love It
Skin repairs itself nightly from daily aggressors that can cause premature aging. At night, when skin is most receptive to repair, our aromatic, moisturizing face oil works with skin’s nocturnal functions to help restore and replenish skin. Use our face oil both morning and night with a gua sha to reduce puffiness and increase circulation. Apply a few drops of our moisturizing face oil to lubricate the skin and help the tool glide more easily. Using a gua sha with face oil as a part of your daily routine has many benefits, including promoting lymphatic drainage and relieving tension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil contain any nut oils?
The formula contains an ingredient derived from coconuts. According to the FDA, coconuts are considered tree nuts although they are not typically restricted in diets of people with tree nut allergies.
Is Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil safe to use during pregnancy?
While every ingredient we use in our products is evaluated for safety, we do not specifically test our products on women who are pregnant or nursing. Kiehl's ensures there is a substantial information supporting the safety of our products when used as directed by consumers. However, as there could be certain ingredients that physicians may not recommend for use during pregnancy and nursing, we always recommend that you discuss this with your physician and follow their advice.
Can Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil be used for someone with oily or combination skin?
Yes, as it can be quite helpful in rebalancing the natural oils of an oilier skin type, as these skin types are often dehydrated or stripped of their natural oils when using strong acne products. The application of our Midnight Recovery Concentrate a few times a week could help prevent this kind of imbalance "over adjustment" from happening. The formula is non-comedogenic/ non-acnegenic. This means it has been demonstrated not to clog pores.
Can Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil replace moisturizer?
No, because they each deliver different results. A moisturizer hydrates the skin and helps strengthen the moisture barrier. Our face oil is a potent blend of anti-aging plant botanicals delivering fine line reduction and radiance. Midnight Recovery Concentrate layers well over any of our moisturizers.
Do I put Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate before or after Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil?
For layering, it is best to treat Midnight Recovery Concentrate as the "moisturizer" step, which means that we should recommend that it be applied on top of a serum or a Dermatologist Solutions treatment product, like Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate.
What Are Botanical Oils Vs. Essential Oils?
Midnight Recovery Concentrate is formulated with both Botanical and Essential oils. Botanical oils are oils obtained from plants that are fatty, dense, and non-volatile, such as olive and sweet almond oil. Such plants contain a significant number of proteins, vitamins, and skin-compatible lipids like Squalane. Botanical oils strengthen the skin barrier, to prevent skin from water loss and diminish penetration of environmental aggressors, while essential oils protect the skin from oxidative and environmental stress. Essential oils is a concentrated liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants, which are called aromatic herbs or aromatic plants. The term "essential" indicates that the oil carries the distinctive scent (essence) of the plant. Most commonly, the essence is extracted from the plant using a technique called steam distillation. Naturally cultivated and steam-distilled, these pure oils are extracted from natural sources.
What are the benefits of the main botanical oils and the main essential oils in Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil?
Squalane helps restore skin’s natural moisture balance to keep it extra soft and supple. Evening Primrose Oil is known to help maintain skin hydration and elasticity. Sunflower oil is a good source of essential fatty acids, this oil adds a protective barrier and helps the skin to retain moisture and resist infection. Lavender Oil helps to stimulate skin’s repair functions and improve skin tone creating a brighter more radiant look. Rosemary Essential Oil helps to retain moisture, improve and brighten skin tone and relax the muscles. Geranium Essential Oil helps to detoxify the skin and enhance circulation. Rose Essential Oil helps to improve skin-tone and to soften and condition the skin while combatting environmental damage and helps to replenish skin oils.
What is the difference between Squalane and Squalene and where does Squalene come from?
They are very close to each other in molecular structure as well as in benefits (they both help improve and protect the skin’s natural lipid barrier – and they both are also naturally appropriate for sensitive skin. Squalene also provides natural antioxidant benefits. However, Squalene cannot be re-produced outside of the skin, whereas Squalane is naturally produced outside.
Can Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil be safely used in the day time? Is there a specific ingredient within the product that can only be used at night?
Midnight Recovery Concentrate may also be used during the day, if desired. Although, it is more ideal for use at nighttime, as we formulated it to help the skin work more effectively during its nightly repairing functions (in the daytime, more protective functions are needed). And no, there is no specific ingredient that makes it only useable at night.
Does Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil have any anti-aging benefits?
Yes, it replenishes overnight to smooth skin’s texture, boost radiance and improve fine lines and wrinkles.
Does Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil clog pores?
No, this formula is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic.
