Kiehl's Apothecary Preparations | ThePopHeir |


Kiehl's has just released one of the new serums which is their Apothecary Preparations. It is essentially a personalised skincare product that will help with your skin issues. I recently got invited to be one of the very first people in Australia to get a skin consult and to get my very own personalised preparation.


I have always been a fan of custom or personalised skincare. We all have different skincare needs and wants so being able to tweak your skincare to what you need it to be is just amazing. Kiehl's is going back to their roots to Apothecary with this product because it is just doing that, personalising your serum to address your skincare needs.

With this product I think it is best to go in-store and get a skincare consult with one of the skin experts at Kiehl's. In Australia we have Kiehl's stores and counters at David Jones. The consultant will help determine what your skincare needs and wants are and then begin to prepare the serum for you.

The main part of the serum is the skin strengthening concentrate which as the name implies helps strengthens the skin and also adds hydration to the skin without leaving a greasy residue to the skin. Then depending on your skincare needs you just need to add 2 additives. The choices are the Wrinkle Reducing Complex, Texture Refining Complex, Visible Redness Neutralising Complex, Brightening Complex and the Pore Minimising Complex. 

During my consult, we determined that I needed something to help with Wrinkle Reduction and Pore Minimising. When the consult is concluded you are given a bottle of the skin strengthening concentrate and the 2 additives which you just need to add at home when you are ready to use the preparation. 

My personal preparation had Retinol + Pro-Retinol which are both a form of Vitamin A in the wrinkle reducing complex. It is well known that Vitamin A has great anti-ageing properties and Kiehl's claim that their formulation helps improve the look of  wrinkles in 4 weeks. As it is a retinol, it is advised to wear sun screen during the day and only to apply this product at night. Retinols make the skin sensitive to light are more likely to burn so a sunscreen is a must!

The final additive is the pore minimising complex. I do have slightly oilier skin and open pores so I thought I should get something like this to help with these concerns. It contains ingredients that help reduce the appearance of sebum/oil on the skin and salicylic acid which helps decongest pores and with the reduction of oil it can help reduce the size of the pores.
