I was happy enough to grab this mask the very first day they opened the Kiehl’s store in my town. Kiehl’s Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque:

Properly speaking, I didn’t even read any reviews of it before purchasing. The only thing I knew about it was that this mask was full of natural ingredients and that there was too much hype about it.
Why is it called botanical? Because it’s called Turmeric & Cranberry - which are the base components of the product. Of course I expected to get as natural product as possible. I also appreciate the cruelty free approach of the Kiehl’s brand.
Here’s the list of ingredients:
aqua/water, kaolin, sorbitol, bentonite, butylene glycol, silica, CI 77891/titanium dioxide, vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) seed, pentlene glycol, 1,2-hexanediol, simmondsia chinensis oil/jojoba seed oil, caprylyl glycol, xanthan gum, polysorbate 60, polyacrylamide, CI 77492/iron oxides, gycerin, C13-14 isoparaffin, curcuma longa, extract/tumeric root extract, ascorbyl glocoside, trisodium ethylenediamine dissuccinate, laureth-7, eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, camelia oleifera leaf extract, mentha piperita extract/peppermint leaf extract, menthol, epilobium angustifolium extract-epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract, aminomethyl propanol, vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) seed oil.
Well, the list starts with chemical ingredients and later on we can see some natural components. The turmeric, curcuma and cranberry words are mentioned several times there. What’s more these aren’t the only natural ingredients in the list.

Yet the turmeric and cranberry are the most important here. They are mentioned even in the name of the product.
Turmeric is traditionally used in Chinese and Egyptian medicine for skin healing and as it has calming properties. It’s also known for its detoxification effect. I think that the extract of turmeric in this mask should eliminate the problems that concern the appearance of dull skin in order to restore the luminous and healthy skin appearance.
As for cranberry, in cosmetics it’s usually used as an antioxidant component. Actually you can see its seeds in the mask which give a good exfoliating effect to the skin.

At first I was afraid that these seeds would be too rough for my skin and will irritate it when rinsing off but later I found out that the seeds have a rather smooth surface and considering that they are in the mask’s texture, I don’t feel that it's rough at all.
Even after the first use the mask made my skin softer and more gentle to the touch which is so great of it.
The use is rather simple and usual:
-Can be used after cleansing and toning skin.
-Allow mask to dry for five to 10 minutes.
-Recommended for daytime use.
As suggested I leave the mask on my face for 10 minutes maximum (I let it work its best)

On my face it feels as many other clay mask.

And now let’s talk about the most important - about the result of use!

Actually the most important thing about this mask is the pleasant exfoliating effect. But unlike many other exfoliating masks, I wanted to write a review of this one right after the first use! But then I restrained myself and used it at least three times. A lot of people think that they should use the product at least within a month to obtain the profound opinion of this or that product. But I wouldn’t say that it’s applicable for this mask. It’s an instant mask which is to work from the first use. And I can say that I saw its effect after the first use already! They promised us radiant skin and it’s true. After using, my skin really looks radiant and glowing with health! It also becomes more pleasant to the touch and more supple. I also liked my skin color after the use of the mask. It wasn’t red (as it usually may happen with other face masks after washing them off). I can say that I had a natural skin flush, and an even and fresh skin tone. As for the appearance of pores diminishing, I wouldn’t say that I’ve noticed this promised effect. Maybe I need to wait and it’ll show an accumulative effect later, as they promised only the radiance to be instant.
Of course you shouldn’t wait for some miracle after the first use. The pleasant effect after this mask doesn’t last long though. Considering the price, I can’t allow myself to use it daily but they recommend to use it a couple of times a week. This mask is a must before any special occasion!
I like the Kiehl’s Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque very much. I highly recommend you try it out. At least take a sachet to see if you like it, you’ll see it after the first use. And on the contrary, if you don’t like it, the first use will also show it.
