To help us unpick exactly what goes into a best-selling product, we conscripted the help of Kiehl's, who has been dishing out potions and lotions since 1851 (how's that for longevity?). What started as a tiny, family-run apothecary on a horn-blasted intersection in New York has grown to become one of the world's most industrious skincare brands and a must-not-miss fixture of our morning and evening routines.
While others have come and gone, each of these five products have stood the test of time. They aren't just good, they're proven performers - swoon-worthy athletes of the skincare world, if you will.
Made using squalane, Ultra Facial Cream helps lock in moisture for soft, bouncy and noticeably hydrated skin. It's the best-selling product at Kiehl's - the crème de la crème of skincare if you will - and the thousands of five-star, online reviews speak for themselves.
This staple Kiehl's formula has been around for over 10 years, with such a loyal following it is the UK's number one luxury anti-ageing facial oil. Think of Midnight Recovery Concentrate as a drip-feed of superfood, while you get some shut-eye.
Vitamin C's potent anti-wrinkle properties are no secret among dermatologists, but this particular concentrate trumps its competitors by serving up added moisture thanks to a healthy shot of hyaluronic acid - a superstar ingredient proven to help skin retain moisture throughout the day.
Always a Kiehl's favourite, this inimitable water-in-oil cream breaks into "bursts" of hydration, leaving the under-eye looking brighter, smoother and refreshed. This skincare staple has such a dedicated following that you can even buy it in "jumbo tubs".
We'll take our moisturisers as we like our coffee: strong and highly-caffeinated. This caffeine-charged facial treatment is a worldwide bestseller for a reason. As you might expect, the addition of caffeine helps to reduce skin's dullness, while chestnut extract works to improve the skin's barrier function.
