Still love it - morning and night. My wife bought me a bottle for Christmas last year. In my 41yrs I’ve never been able to stick to a skin care product or routine BUT I simply love the way this feels on my face. People ask me how I look so young - I think part of it just runs in my family and while I can’t no for certain, I do feel like Facial Fuel over time is helping me maintain a youthful appea J Schroeder · kiehls.com

I recommend. It's lightweight. I now associate the light scent with a feeling of clean, fresh and hydrated skin. The way it feels going on is unique and interesting, at first it feels smooth like water but as it spreads over your face you can really feel the transference of moisture, and that hydration lasts me all day. Love it. OriginalLivster · sephora.com
