Kiehl's vs Valmont

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Kiehl's and Valmont are distinguished skincare names offering targeted care for distinct complexions. The American heritage label relies on glycerin and squalane across its moisturizers, serums, toners, and eye products to suit combination and mature skin, while the Swiss luxury house is celebrated for refined moisturizers that offer lasting comfort to mature and dehydrated skin. While both excel in hydration and gentle care, the former features specialized solutions like the Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner, the Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash, and the Ultra Facial Toner, and the latter centers its expertise around the Prime Renewing Pack.

Kiehl's is an American skincare brand founded in 1851 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 2000.
