Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil

Midnight Recovery Concentrate is an overnight recovery oil that replenishes skin at night when it is most receptive to repairing itself from daily aggressors. This lightweight facial oil absorbs easily, leaving skin soft, supple, and hydrated by morning. Formulated with Lavender Essential Oil and Evening Primrose Oil, it works with your skin's natural nighttime repair process to restore a rested, radiant appearance. After consistent use, skin looks visibly smoother, more nourished, and refreshed.

We recommend using Midnight Recovery Concentrate every evening as the final step in your nighttime skincare routine. Apply 2-3 drops to your fingertips, warm between your palms, and gently press into your face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area. For those with oily or combination skin, using this nighttime facial oil a few times per week can help rebalance natural oils without overwhelming the skin.

No, because they each deliver different results. A moisturiser hydrates skin, helps to strengthen the moisture barrier function, and locks in the powerful benefits of a targeted serum and a face oil like Midnight Recovery Concentrate. We recommend using any of our Kiehl’s face moisturisers on top of this product to enhance or address any additional concerns.

Serums are lightweight, concentrated liquids designed to help correct skin concerns, such as an uneven skin tone or texture. They are typically water-based and often contain lightweight moisturising ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid. Serums can penetrate the skin quickly and easily as a result of their watery or gel-like texture and fluid consistency. Facial oils are oil-based liquid formulas formulated with non-comedogenic botanical oils, essential oils, plant extracts, and antioxidants. They help to moisturise and soften the skin, nourish the skin barrier function, and address concerns like dryness or dullness.

Midnight Recovery Concentrate is formulated with both botanical and essential oils. Botanical oils are fatty, dense, and non-volatile oils obtained from plants, such as olive and sweet almond oil. Such plants contain a significant amount of proteins, vitamins, and skin-compatible lipids like Squalane. An essential oil is a concentrated liquid containing volatile aroma compounds (essences) from plants. Most commonly, steam distillation is used to extract these aromatic essences.

Yes, it can be quite helpful in rebalancing natural oils. Oily or combination skin types are often dehydrated or stripped of their natural oils when using strong products to reduce the appearance of blemishes. The skin reacts by over-producing sebum, resulting in an even oilier surface. Applying Midnight Recovery Concentrate a few times a week can help prevent this "over-adjustment" from happening. Furthermore, our evening facial oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it has been demonstrated not to clog pores.

For layering in the evening, it is best to treat Midnight Recovery Concentrate as the final "moisturising" step. We recommend applying it on top of a targeted serum or treatment product, like Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate.

Yes. This overnight recovery oil replenishes skin while you sleep, complementing the skin’s natural overnight recovery process to reveal a rested and restored appearance. Fine lines and wrinkles appear reduced, and the skin looks smoother and more radiant.

Midnight Recovery Concentrate may also be used during the day, if desired. There is no specific ingredient that makes it only usable at night. However, this nighttime facial oil is most ideal for evening use, as it has been formulated to complement the skin’s natural overnight recovery cycle when repairing functions take place.

Midnight Recovery Concentrate has earned its reputation as a leading overnight facial oil because it's specifically formulated to work with your skin's natural nighttime repair cycle. It delivers a blend of botanical and essential oils, including Squalane and Evening Primrose, that deeply nourish while you sleep. It is non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, resulting in visibly restored, radiant skin by morning.

Yes, Daily Reviving Concentrate has been discontinued. For daytime radiance and protection, we recommend exploring our range of serums and moisturisers. For nighttime recovery, Midnight Recovery Concentrate remains our hero overnight facial oil.
