Kiehl's Iris Extract Activating Treatment Essence ~ #Review

I can't believe it is already April.  It is one of my busiest months of the year.  You won't believe the pile of tax returns I have to do at work.  I am swimming in them.  That is on top of my regular work load.  April also makes me feel another year older and wiser.  I feel old and I hope I am not showing it.  I have been using Kiehl's Iris Extract Activating Treatment Essence and just loving it.

Kiehl's Iris Extract Activating Treatment Essence is like a toner but instead of putting it a cotton pad I pour a few drops on the palm of my hands and pat it around my face.  The bottle only has a small hole to give you a better control how much to pour onto my hands.  Just be careful when tipping the bottle.  You don't want to waste it.  I would pour about 3-4 drops.  I love the scent but don't even notice it when I apply it on my face.  It absorbs pretty quickly.

I love how my skin feels after I apply it - soft and smooth.  It leaves a tacky feeling on my skin which I don't mind when I wear this at night.  So you can guess I don't use this product in the mornings.   Then I would follow with my usual routine with serum, eye cream, and facial moisturizer.  I also like to pair it up with a sleeping mask when I use it a few times a week.  It is great for all skin types and it is also paraben free.
