NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Many women say it's important that their skin products are natural, however, while interest in natural skincare has increased, consumers still feel they are compromising efficacy with natural face creams, until now.

Kiehl's Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream is a 99.6% naturally derived face cream that's the first of its kind to leverage the combined efficacy of New Zealand Manuka honey and Korean red ginseng root.

Kiehl's Since 1851 proudly introduces Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream, a 99.6% naturally derived formula that's the first of its kind to leverage the combined efficacy of New Zealand Manuka honey and Korean red ginseng root. This breakthrough moisturizer creates healthy looking skin with a natural glow: it helps skin resist hydration loss and aid in recovery from existing skin damage. In a clinical test, after 8 weeks of product use, skin's radiance and glow improved by 41.8% while skin's texture and smoothness improved by 39.7%.

Kiehl's chemists formulated Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream to help skin work optimally to look its healthiest. Healthy-looking skin is characterized by radiance and vibrancy, and smooth, supple texture, and it can be defined by a capacity to resist and recover from damage.

Over time, skin naturally becomes less able to resist and recover and youthful vitality is diminished, so Kiehl's chemists focused on ingredients with a known ability to increase skin's resistance and recovery from damage, sourcing two powerful traditional medicine ingredients: New Zealand Manuka honey and Korean red ginseng root.

Manuka honey is a dark, creamy mono-floral honey highly regarded for its treatment properties. It has four times more minerals than any other honey, and compared to other forms of honey, it has the highest polyphenol level and anti-oxidant activity, which help to protect the skin from oxidative damage, such as pollution and UV. It is also known to stimulate collagen-producing fibroblasts and keratinocytes, helping repair damage and maintain skin barrier hydration.

Korean red ginseng root has been linked to stimulation and protection of the cellular energy pathways that begin to malfunction or slow down over time. This highly potent form of ginseng protects from oxidative stress and increases the production of energy-related molecules. Studies on Korean red ginseng root have demonstrated a significant improvement of aged, dull skin to recover its youthful radiance, an increase in skin hydration and barrier function, and an ability to prevent UV-induced roughness.
