Coming in November, Kiehl introduces Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer!

kd9f39j.jpgFor more than 35 years, Kiehl’s has been formulating products which target the specific needs of its male patrons – among the strongest and most loyal in the industry.

Now Kiehl’s is proud to introduce Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer, a treatment targeting a common concern among men – tired, puffy eyes. This instantly cooling formula is packaged in a first-of-its-kind for Kiehl’s – a compact stick that allows the treatment to gently and easily apply to the under eye skin, an area that requires careful attention as the skin is less resilient than other areas of the face and body. As environmental aggressors increase and personal schedules become more demanding, Kiehl’s has formulated a refreshing solution to rejuvenate the eye area and reduce the visible signs of fatigue.

Featuring energy boosting Arctic Root adaptogen plant, known to survive in extreme conditions, Caffeine to minimize puffiness, and Hibiscus Tea known to improve skin hydration, these natural ingredients work together to revive and awaken tired eyes. The Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer utilizes natural moisturizers, including honey, to quench dry under eyes with gentle yet rich hydration made specifically to treat the eye area.

The Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer glides on easily without dragging or pulling, leaving an immediate cooling sensation. Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer is available at Kiehl’s Since 1851 stores and Kiehls.com.

Key Formula Attributes:

• The formula helps reduce under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and signs of fatigue
• Immediate refreshing, cooling sensation upon application
• Portability
• Long lasting hydration
• Lightweight, non-greasy texture will not creep into eyes

About Sothys

In 1946, Sothys was a beauty institute in Paris, where a list of exclusive customers enjoyed fine French products created by Dr. Hotz, a medical biologist. Sothys was acquired by the Mas family in 1966 and chairman Bernard Mas decided to add to the beautiful Sothys range and increase its availability. By 1970 Sothys had entered the United States market under the direction of esthetician Christian Garces. Sothys became an instant hit for estheticians looking for a professional, results- oriented product line. Over two decades later, it continues to be the forerunner in an extremely demanding industry. Much of Sothys’ success is due to its focus on education. Not content to simply sell its products, Sothys offers continuous, complementary education to estheticians and therapists who want to learn not just about the products, but about the industry in general. At the Sothys Institute in Miami, and at regional Sothys offices across the Nation, classes are offered, with topics ranging from hands-on body workshops to cosmetic chemistry.
