Overview

Not a bar or a scrub, this Kiehl's face wash is a gel cleanser in a tube, built around caffeine, vitamin E and menthol. The listing adds chestnut extract and describes the feel as refreshing and invigorating.

A menthol gel with caffeine suits a wash that should feel refreshing and help with oiliness. The data disagrees on skin type and lists a lemon scent, so sensitive skin should check the label first.

Who it's for

A face wash routine for a man who likes a cooling, scented gel and wants help with oiliness. Skin that reacts to menthol, or shoppers wanting a fragrance-free cleanser, should choose another formula.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Caffeine and vitamin E formula
  • Menthol for a refreshing feel
  • Chestnut extract targets oiliness
Cons
  • Skin type listed inconsistently
  • Lemon scent added
  • Menthol may not suit sensitive skin

Performance notes

A gel cleanser is worked into wet skin and rinsed off, so what it leaves behind depends on rinsing and skin type. Menthol gives a cooling sensation rather than extra cleaning power, and caffeine is named for brightening. The chestnut extract is the part aimed at oiliness.
