This product is supposed to be for sensitive skin. Bought it for my younger sister who has ultra sensitive skin and can only use products with natural ingredients. The sales associate told me that it was suitable for sensitive skin. But after my younger sister started using it, her skin became red and irritated. After first, I thought her skin irritation was because of hormonal and/or environmental changes. However, we discovered this Kiehl’s product was the cause of it. I was so disappointed by this product, and will find it hard to believe a Kiehl’s sales associate anymore. 

Being the beauty products junkie that I am, I decided to give it a try before tossing it. Because maybe it might work okay with my skin type. Boy, was I wrong. I only use it once and I saw noticeable differences on my skin. Red bumps started appearing on my cheeks from no where. So I tried it again another day, and my skin got more irritated. FYI, I do have sensitive skin but it’s not as sensitive as my younger sister’s.

So with the verdict from my sister and I, we decided to say goodbye to this product. I am utterly disappointed with the Kiehl brand for creating a product that is supposedly for sensitive skin, but it irritates the skin even further, and making it worst. I do NOT recommend Kiehl Centella Recovery Skin Salve to you, readers. Stay away from it! It is detrimental to your skin.
