Not for sensitive skin

Kiehl’s Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque is one such mask. I received this as part of gift set late last year.

Kiehl’s Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque claims to be a protective and replenishing overnight facial mask that defends against impurities and environmental aggressors. I must admit pollution is not something I have considered when looking for skin care, but now I am more aware of it.

The Cilantro & Orange Extract mask is a leave on mask. Texture wise, it is a smooth and creamy pistachio-coloured paste with the consistency of a cream.

As I expected, the cream mask does have a rather sharp, green scent, a little reminiscent of this pungent herb so be sure to take a sniff to see if you like it.

While it’s well known for its dirt-pulling properties, it’s considered gentle enough for sensitive skin, and has been shown in studies to be non-irritating however I noticed tingling sensation every time I used it and noticed redness in skin so after few uses I stopped using it.

This product is amazing! The way I use it is right after toner then I would continue using my serums and creams. The next morning I would wake up with much clearer skin and I also see brightening effects. I would definitely repurchase this when I am finished with the product.

Skin: Dry and Combination

I was recommended to use this Khiel's Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque by my friend because she knows that my skin is prone to react towards dust. This is an overnight mask so you're supposed to do all your skincare routine before applying this. This mask contains AHA so I keep my routine simple whenever I use this. I was advised by the Khiel's SA to remove the excess before heading to bed but I don't have to do so because I never put too much. When I wake up the next morning, I do find my skin softer and hydrated like that Korean "chok chok" glowing skin. I highly recommend to those lazy or busy people who want to achieve glowing skin without much effort!
