Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Light-Weight Body Lotion – a dry skin saviour!

December 30, 2010 Paris B 8 Comments

Kiehl’s and fans of Kiehl’s rave about their Creme de Corps body lotion. But I tested it a few times with samples and in store and I found it too thick and too oily for our tropical weather. I’m already lazy when it comes to applying body lotion and to have one stick and slip and slide all over is no-go.

review kiehl's creme de corps lightweight body lotion

When I was in London a few months ago, I found my skin drying out. It was horrible! I had all this flaky scaly skin on my arms and legs due to the cold and it being covered up all day. So in a fit of pique, I ran out and picked up the first body lotion I saw – it was at a Kiehl’s store. Picked up the Creme de Corps Lightweight Body Lotion because I liked the feel and because I knew I’d still be able to use it when I’m back.

And I was right. I’m back and about a quarter of the way through my bottle now and still loving it. It is light and absorbs into my skin very quickly without feeling icky or sticky. There is a very light powdery scent which is pleasant and it helps keep my arms and legs flake-free and smooth and soft.

I know you are supposed to apply it after showering for best effects, but I apply mine before I go to bed. Because it isn’t sticky and absorbs quickly, it doesn’t stain my sheets – plus point! 🙂 Having SPF30 throws me for a bit of a loop because I use it at night and I don’t use sun protection at night but I don’t apply body lotion in the day, so….. never mind I’ll still use it at night 😛

Pros: Lightweight texture, Pleasant powdery scent, Absorbs quickly and isn’t sticky, Contains SPF30

Cons: Contains SPF30 which I usually won’t use at night, Some might consider it pricey

Oh I didn’t tell you about all that jojoba butter and olive oil… because you can just read it for yourself innit? 🙂

I do wish this comes in travel sized bottles. I went away again and wanted to take this with me on board the plane to slather on my arms and annoy my seat mates, but I couldn’t because it comes in a 250ml bottle, which means I cannot carry it on board the plane. So people from Kiehl’s, think  about this one yes? 😉

This item is such a Kiehl’s icon I don’t know anyone who hasn’t tried it and either liked it or hated it. Mostly they’ve liked it. What about you? 🙂

The Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Lightweight Body Lotion retails at RM90/250ml or £26.50/250ml in the UK at all Kiehl’s stores

    I received the original Creme de Corps body lotion as a gift and yea, I agree that the thickness and oiliness of the lotion takes abit of getting used to. It somehow makes my skin feel a little warm too as I apply it, but since I sleep in an airconditioned room, it’s a pretty comforting feeling 🙂

    But I dont think I could make myself fork out so much for something like body lotion which I like to slather A LOT on after baths. Drugstore brands like St Ives or Nivea seem like a more sensible option. Even Body Shop is a stretch for me 😛

      Hmm… you are right about that warm feeling. I’m not sure if its the oils keeping the skin warm but it does bug me even in an air conditioned room. I don’t use body lotions often and then I got so fussy about them so now, I don’t buy anymore and I use body oils instead 😀 But Nivea. I love the Nivea whitening body lotion. As close to HG in a body lotion for me as it can ever be!

    I didn’t know this came in a light version- might be better for me as I found the original too sticky. I prefer The Body Shop’s lotions in summer.

    Wow we have so many things in common! I don’t like using body lotion as well. Lately I have too coz my skin has been dry and scaly which is very weird coz I don’t sleep with aircond and sometimes not even with fan on, when it’s cold of coz 😛 I kinda prefer the dry body oil which absorbs fast and doesn’t stain the sheets yes! I can’t stand slathering so much lotion on the body and only stain the sheets and makes it all sticky and oily… 😀

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

Not everyday I wear something decent (I still live in crummy t-shirt, shorts & sweaty athleisure most days) so it merited a photo! 😆 
I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
