Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream & Rosa Arctica Eye Balm Review

New as of September 1, Kiehl’s has added two new additions – the Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream & the Rosa Arctica Eye Balm.

(Eye on left, Cream on right. Note cream is in sample packaging, this is not what it will look like when you purchase).

From the company:

Like the classic Rosa Arctica, each new formula harnesses the power of the rare Resurrection Flower, Haberlea rhodopensis, to “wake up” skin cells to trigger the physiological reactions resulting in healthier, regenerated, and more youthful skin.

Haberlea rhodopensis is a unique biological wonder that can dry out completely and survive periods of dryness during unfavorable conditions for up to 31 months as an environmental survival strategy. Then, when the optimal growth conditions arise, the plant resumes normal growth within hours, with only a few drops of moisture, and is restored in one to two days.

Rosa Arctica Lightweight, $60, “features the same benefits of Rosa Arctica Youth Regenerating Cream, in a lighter texture for those with normal to oily skin, or those who simply prefer a lighter texture”.

I personally still found this to leave my skin slightly oily, especially around the nose area. The texture is light and absorbs well in other areas. It’s very soothing!

Rosa Arctica Eye, $46, “is a unique balm formulation that helps provide instant visible results—thanks to mineral brighteners—instant hydration, and revitalizes the appearance of skin in the eye area over time, smoothing crow’s feet and lifting the eye contour area”.

This product is such a total love. It’s a waxy looking balm so that you have absolutely no chance of getting too much product and over-saturating your eye. This smooths out the thin and sensitive under eye area and makes me appear refreshed (even though nine times out of ten I’m clearly not lol).

Have you tried anything from the Kiehl’s Rosa Arctica line? What do you think?
