No information given

I ordered products yesterday and am still waiting for a confirmation email, went on the site as a guest, the money has left my account but so far no information about my order. Ordered from other companies in the same day and received several emails, confirming the order and giving info about items being dispatched. Have no idea why this is the case have so far sent two emails to which there is no reply.
Will not use this company again.
Just an update. Had to ring the company eventually then an email was sent with an order number etc. but not nearly good enough for such an established name. A confirmation email usually is sent immediately after payment for an order.

Wish I could have given zero stars

Wish I could have given zero stars. Do not order from this company on line. 4 e-mails later, over a 4 week period, I still haven't had a reply. Tried 2 different e-mail addresses, and you cant get through on the phone. The fact they have no customer service dept shows that the product is not what they advertise. I'd never purchase anything from Kiehls again. So many better quality, more caring brands out there. If you order on line and your order goes wrong, expect to lose your money, their after sales is non existent. Ordering a £1 item from a market trader in China has better after sales. Reported Kiehls to trading standards.

Fraudulent company

Made one order, something went wrong on their end and order wasn’t completed even though they took $78 out of my account and held it for 16 days. Stupidity tried again and made an order for 241 promo, $279 in total. After a week of no update I check and it says my order is on hold and all items are out of stock. I click the cancel order button and it says “order cancelled” and NOT A WORD ABOUT A REFUND. Horrible scam company, I will be filing fraud charges with my bank. Avoid this company

Too much fuss and product doesn’t work and overprice

I cancelled the order as the waiting was over 2weeks, I needed badly for my acne prone oily skin during the summer. Thought I’ll get it in the store instead. They promised it’s cancelled and the payment will be refunded, which didn’t happened. So I ended up having the same things twice, the online look confusing and I went to store to attempt a refund and they told me you can only exchange for the same amount of money or more, but pretty sure you can return as it said in the terms& condition but they insist. The items did not work at all and causing me even more acne and more oily. Switch to other brand now, much more affordable and work instantly the next 2days instead of ‘wait for a month’ to see the result.

Won’t ever use these cowboys again

Won’t ever use these cowboys again, didn’t bother to pick my order when they advertised they would, tried to complain, you can’t, and even though the order hasn’t been picked I can’t cancel it, advised to refuse the delivery if it ever arrives and that should prompt a refund, a big gamble with £100 worth of products, absolute bunch of tossers and won’t ever use them again!

N.B, post Keihls response. You can dress it up how you want, I asked for a refund prior to the order being picked to enable me to go and fetch the products from a store, it hadn’t been picked at source, no email suggested the order was ready, I.E, Amazon’s much better practice, but you refused to refund me, just because you think that is acceptable doesn’t make it so. Thanks for confirming though. Still won’t be using you again.

Dear Steve,

Thank you for your review and for confirming your order details. We appreciate you taking the time to do so.

We see your order was placed on September 7th and delivered on September 12th, meeting our 3-5 working day delivery window. To ensure efficient processing, we begin preparing orders immediately, which prevents modifications or cancellations once placed. You can, however, refuse the delivery upon arrival, allowing us to process a refund once it's returned to us.

We understand this might not be ideal in every situation and apologize for any inconvenience. We hope the gifts were enjoyed nonetheless!

Many thanks,
Team Kiehl's

Kiehl's Calendula Emulsion 125ml

I placed an order for your products through look fantastic. I ordered Kiehl's Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash - 230ml, Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Toner - 500ml, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Gel-Cream - 125ml and Kiehl's Calendula Emulsion 125ml costing me a total of €180. It was my first time ordering these products as I usually go for ultra facial cream and ultra facial cleanser. I am very very disappointed with these new products as they are causing my face to feel like it’s burning and causing breakouts. I understand breakouts can be normal when changing routine but the burning sensation has made the products impossible to use. I’m not happy with the products what so ever. The products clearly state they soothe and calm skin not cause fiery, burning sensation.

The worst online experience - frustrating

The worst online experience I have ever had. Ordered on 14 July promised delivery in 3-5 days. After 14 days no shipment so contacted them again for a third time and they sent an email to say that they would pass to refund department. 3 days later I get an email to say that product has been shipped and I now have to go to the bother of sending back the order and no doubt waiting months for a refund. Agents do not listen to what you are saying and just talk over you!

Great - thanks.

Once the item was in stock and ordered, after getting an e-mail notification, delivery was very prompt. Great product, tried the smaller version, got the large one this time. Thank you.

Poor online customer experience

Love the products but the online customer service is probably the worst experience I have had buying online. Placed an order which Kiehl’s online. It was not followed up with an email to confirm order. After a few days I contacted them as the money had been taken. I was informed the order was not processed and the money would go back in my account and that I would need to reorder. After reordering the money was not returned and I received both orders. It’s been a week now since contacting again and I have had no reply. I also only received one of the samples ordered. I see this is common issue along with slow processing. Poor from a premium brand. Such a shame that the service doesn’t match the quality of their products

Online offer is poor

I've been a Kiehl's customer for two decades and found their online services to be excellent. Recently ordered an item that they said was available. Three samples were sent, but not the actual serum. I'm yet to receive a refund of £60 and it's been nearly one month.
