Updated on Friday, December 6, 2024: Kiehl’s annual After Christmas Sale will soon be here and it’s usually one of the best opportunities of the season to stock up on your favorite formulas or to try out something new. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect, from key dates and discounts to how to make the most of this limited-time event.
When Does the Sale Start and End?
Kiehl’s After Christmas Sale is expected to kick off on December 26, 2024, both online at kiehls.com and in Kiehl’s standalone boutiques across the U.S. The sale will run for a limited time, expected to end at 3:00 AM EST on December 30, 2024 (that’s based on last year’s sales schedule).
This gives you just four days to take advantage of the discounts, so it’s essential to shop early—especially since many items are available only while supplies last. If past sales are any indication, popular gift sets and best-selling items tend to sell out quickly, so it’s a good idea to plan your purchases ahead of time.
What Are the Expected Discounts?
While the full details of this year’s sale haven’t been officially released, you can expect them to offer 30% off select sets and individual items. This discount typically applies to a wide range of skincare products, from moisturizers and serums to body care essentials and cleansers.
Here’s what you can anticipate:
- Discounted Gift Sets:
Gift sets often feature some of Kiehl’s most popular products bundled together at a discounted price. During last year’s sale, these sets were a standout feature, and it’s likely they’ll make a return in 2024. If you’ve been eyeing a holiday gift set, this could be your chance to grab one for less. - Savings Across Popular Categories:
Kiehl’s After Christmas Sale usually includes products from their core skincare lines, including:- Facial moisturizers like the Ultra Facial Cream, one of their best-selling and highly-rated items.
- Serums such as the Midnight Recovery Concentrate.
- Body care items like the Crème de Corps line, a favorite for deep hydration during winter.
- Cleansers and toners for all skin types.
- Free Ground Shipping on Orders of $50 or More:
Free shipping is always a welcome addition, especially during sales events. During the After Christmas Sale, any order totaling $50 or more qualifies for free ground shipping, which is a great incentive to stock up on multiple items or gift sets.
Exclusions and Restrictions
As with most sales, there are a few exclusions and limitations to keep in mind during Kiehl’s After Christmas Sale.
- Exclusions on Certain Locations:
- The sale is usually not valid at Kiehl’s counters located in department stores or at Kiehl’s Airport locations.
- Kiehl’s locations in Puerto Rico are often excluded from participating in the promotion.
- Product and Purchase Restrictions:
- Discounts cannot be applied to previous purchases.
- The offer is subject to product availability, meaning some items may sell out quickly.
- Employee Restrictions:
- The sale is not valid for L’Oréal employees, as Kiehl’s is part of the L’Oréal brand family.
- Legal Restrictions:
- The promotion is void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted by law, so some areas may not qualify for the sale or its perks.
- Limit of 5 Orders Per Customer:
- It’s worth noting that there’s often a limit of 5 orders per customer during this sale. While most shoppers won’t hit this threshold, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re planning to make multiple purchases.
