Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate 30ml is the brand's cult overnight face oil — a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum-oil formulated with 99.8% naturally-derived ingredients to work alongside the skin's natural night-time repair cycle. The blend of squalane, evening primrose oil and a soothing lavender essential oil signature helps restore moisture, soften the look of fine lines and leave skin smoother and more radiant by morning.

It's a particularly useful step for anyone with dehydrated skin, signs of fine lines, or visibly tired skin from poor sleep, travel or seasonal change. Best used as the final step of an evening routine, or layered under a moisturiser when extra comfort is needed.
