Dont waste your $ on LaMer. I have used the whole line is it was a total waste of $. If you want a rich moisturizer then get L'Occitane's Ultra Rich Shea mask and use it like moisturizer. Its around $34 I think and is just as good.
I used a bunch from Kielhls a while ago and was never impressed with that line either. Now I have learned to pick a product I like and not buy the whole line.
Fresh has a great exfoliator and face cream. And the new apple stuff from L'Occitane is good too.

Oh I totally disagree about creme de la mer being a waste of money - I guess it depends on what sort of skin you've got.
No word of a lie - I bought a pot of creme de la mer when it first came out and it's a small pot and set me back £175.
Ive had it now for about 3 years and havn't used it - don't know why - until about a month ago - and now I don't think I could be without it.
I have such bad skin and as soon as I started using this, my pores became invisible, my spots cleared up, my cheeks plumped up and my skin has just glowed - and I can actually leave the house without wearing a makeup base/foundation and feel confident.
I love it!!!!!

La Mer is good if you have very dry skin. Otherwise it will feel heavy. I like Khiels body stuff. I have never tried Skii stuff.
I like SKII's foundation. It has pitera in it which help my uneven skin tone. But I am not going to get their skin care (especially the toner) because it smells very bad!
I'll say it all depends on your age, skin type and needs. I have combination skin and Im using a combination of all three in the past.
La Mer for sure is the most expensive brand among all, but I should say I do love their cleaning gel and moisturizing cream. However, La Mer cream is VERY heavy and thats why its only good for dry skin or like I just use it in winter time.
Kiehls is inexpensive as compared to the other two brands. And they actually have many good products which you can try for the start. I recommend their pineapple papaya facial scrub, soothing gel masque and rare earth facial cleansing masque. Btw, you can always go to the store and ask for free samples. (in NYC)
SKII will be the least brand Ill recommend you as it doesnt show much effective on me. Skin rebooster is the only product I recommend if you need a temporary 911 for your skin. Besides, some of my friends told me that your skin will actually be worsened if you stop using their products.
Anyway, you DO need to actually try those products on your skin as results and effectiveness will be different among people. Ours are just suggestions but hope they help.

La Mer is a complete waste of money. I purchased a deluxe set at Saks a few years back. The set contained the face serum, creme de la mer, the face lotion, cleansing gel and a small sample of the concentrated forumla for the eye area. The "Creme" just left my skin looking greasy and did not absorb into my skin. This stuff is just a bunch of hype because a lot of celebs promoted it but there are much better products out there for a lot less money. I saw no results from this line.
ack! what do you mean worsen? so If I stop using it..I'll say it all depends on your age, skin type and needs. I have combination skin and Im using a combination of all three in the past.

A have a couple of weeks using SK-II, I think I wasted my money! I still have the same pimples, I have not seen any improvement. I spent $400, I'm pissed off!
My La Mer SA said that the creme feels heavy for some people so she recommended the new gel. It feels a lot lighter and in fact it feels GOOD 
I use the gel, eye balm, foundation, and my face feels awesome. More than when I was using presciption stuff. I use La Mer with Laura Mercier hydrating water and purifying oil.

I haven't tried the new la mer gel, but I use the lotion (the SA said Creme is for people with really dry skin or for older ladies) and the eye cream. I think the lotion is a can-do-without, whilst the eye cream works better for me (compared with SKII and estee).
As for SKII, I had the whole skincare range, and I think it works pretty well for its price (well, for one, it's cheaper than la mer). The Essence Miracle Water is really good (although if I were to use an estee moisturiser instead of SKII moisturiser, I find that I start breaking out, so the 2 products are not compatible). Nah, I don't think my skin worsened after I stopped using it, it just went back to what it was before, which proves that SKII does actually work, at least for me.
Haven't used Khiels before.
