I've only used La Mer among the ones mentioned. I love it! Been over a year and a half and my skin is complimented as "flawless" and "perfect" by friends and random strangers haha. I hardly wear any foundation or powder or blush. Maybe it's age too, as I'm only 24-- so more years for aging and sun to destroy. I still apply spf 55 over my La Mer every morning.

SK didnt do muc for me except make me that much poorer. Kiehls always smells/looks nice but I've never gotten results. La Me the lifting serum and and Gel Creme (the original creme de la mer is way to heavy and greast for me) along with prevage for my laugh lines has worked miracles. i bought each bottle almost eight months go and still am only halfway through the bottles.

I've tried a lot of products from SKII, La Mer and Khiels, here's my verdict :

SKII : not fond of their cleanser, essence miracle water and eye gel, but their facial treatment mask (sheet masks)which is great for hydration, I would say that this is the best hydration masks. It comes in 6 pcs of sheets in a box.

La Mer : It's a no, no for me, the creme too heavy (causing pimples), the gel is good but it has mineral oil, so in the long run will give milia to my already milia prone skin. The cleanser and toner just a total rip off, very expensive and very average, this is something cetaphil and other cheaper brand can also do.

Khiels : I'm trying out their products now, the Yerba Mate tea cleanser, just average, it's foam cleanser, can be a bit drying, may be suitable for younger skin the 20 something but not for 40 something skin. I just got a couple of samples for the Acai Damage Correcting Moisturizer, I love the smell, so far so good (only 3 days ago) and also the serum, the Powerful Strength Line reducing concentrate that has 10.5% pure vitamin C, not using this for lines but more for getting rid of the pimple scars. I will have to wait and see the result in a few more days, if it's okay I'm thinking of getting the serum from the Acai (Ah-sigh-ee) berry products as well.

SKII: I've only tried the face treatment mask and it didn't really do anything for me.

La Mer: It's too heavy and I was breaking out from it. My mom uses the entire line and loves it, but she has very dry skin. I've combo skin.

Kiehl's: I used to be a huge fan but lately they've been messing around with their product formulas and product lines. The cryste marine eye treatment use to work like a charm when it first came out. However, since last year, I've felt some burning/stinging sensation after using it, so I've stopped buying it. They've also discontinued my favorite line, the lycopene cream and lotion. It was the PERFECT line but apparently they had sourcing issues. I still use the Ultra Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 for day, but that's about it for Kiehl's. I'm now using night cream and eye cream from La Prairie. It's costs a lot more, but it's what's working best for me right now.

i've tried skII and kiehl's face washes and creams. i didn't like either. i have dry skin, and both lines contain sulfates, which are really drying. so they made my face red and peely. neither one contains great ingredients, so i don't know why i bothered in the first place.

from la mer, i've only tried the cream and lotion. both are fine, but no better than the eucerin cream that i like, so not worth the money to me.

figured i'd add what i actually do like! for cleansers: korres milk cleanser, embryolisse milk cleanser, and mario badescu enzyme cleansing gel (i use the latter if i'm getting oily or have a pimple). for lotion, i like eucerin original for really dry skin, and eucerin q10 the rest of the time.
