How to save at Kiehl's: the smartest ways

Kiehl's has run some generous promotions in 2026, and its rewards program pays out in simple dollar amounts. As of September 2026, these are the best ways to save:

1. Shop the sitewide sale. Kiehl's Fall Skincare Refresh offered 25% off sitewide, online only, with exclusions. Check the deals page for current terms.
2. Pick up free gifts with purchase. Kiehl's offered a free 3-piece gift with $85+ online through September 24, 2026, and a free Plump & Sculpt Tool with any 50ml CollaShot purchase through October 1, 2026.
3. Request free samples. The offers page included a free 1cc CollaShot Plumping Serum sample through October 1, 2026, and the page has a dedicated complimentary sampling section.
4. Join My Kiehl's Rewards. You get 15 bonus points for joining and 1 point per $1 after that. Every 100 points is worth $10 off.
5. Recycle your empties. Returning empty Kiehl's containers in store earns 10 points per item, up to 1,000 points a year.
6. Use Auto Replenish. Subscribing to regular deliveries saves 10% on products you reorder.
7. Try a Discovery trial set. Kiehl's Discovery Program trial sets come with an email credit of $34 to $99 toward a future kiehls.com purchase. It's one-time use per customer.
8. Reach $50 for free shipping. Ground shipping below $50 costs $8.

Shipping & delivery options

Kiehl's shipping and returns page lists ground shipping at $8, or free on orders of $50 or more. Orders take 1 to 4 business days to process, and ground delivery typically takes 3 to 6 business days after that. Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands, APO/FPO addresses and P.O. Boxes can take 10 to 14 business days.

Orders are processed Monday through Friday only, and express carriers don't deliver on Saturday or Sunday. Kiehl's doesn't ship internationally, except to APO/FPO addresses. You can also buy online and pick up in store at participating locations. EVEREST rewards members get complimentary shipping on their orders.

Return & exchange policy

To return an order, start the return online first to generate a prepaid label. You can then ship with Kiehl's preferred carrier or your own. As of September 2026, key terms include:

• Mail returns carry an $8 processing fee.
• Final sale items, engraved items, promotional gifts and e-gift cards can't be returned.
• Once Kiehl's receives your package, the return takes 1 to 2 business days to process and 3 to 5 business days to post to your account.
• You can cancel an order within 30 minutes of placing it.

The page we reviewed didn't state a specific return window, so check it when you start your return.

My Kiehl's Rewards explained

My Kiehl's Rewards is free and works both in stores and online. You earn 1 point for every $1 spent, and 100 points convert to $10 off. Bonus points are available for:

• Signing up: 15 points
• Referring a friend who makes a first purchase: 25 points
• Writing a review: 10 points
• Taking a skin quiz: 15 points
• Recycling empties in store: 10 points per item, up to 1,000 a year

Student, military, teacher & other discounts

As of September 2026, Kiehl's offers page doesn't list a student, military, teacher or healthcare discount. The best ongoing alternatives are Auto Replenish (10% off), the rewards program and free sampling. Kiehl's also offers complimentary services such as virtual consultations, a routine finder quiz and in-store Derma-Reader skin analysis, which help you avoid buying the wrong product. Some locations also offer Healthy Skin Facials. Using these free services before you buy is one of the simplest ways to avoid paying the $8 fee on a mail return for a product that doesn't suit your skin.

Price matching & price adjustments

Kiehl's doesn't publish a price-match or price-adjustment policy. Many of its promotions are online only and exclude retail stores, department store counters and airport locations, so compare where you buy. Contact customer service with questions about a recent order.

Payment options

Kiehl's sells e-gift cards on its site. The pages we reviewed didn't list other accepted payment methods, so check the options shown at checkout.

When Kiehl's has its biggest sales

Kiehl's ran a 25% off sitewide Fall Skincare Refresh in September 2026, alongside short gift-with-purchase windows that often last only a week or two. Historically, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the holiday gifting season are also strong times, with gift sets and extra offers. Sign up for SMS alerts to hear about exclusive offers. Rewards members also get early access to seasonal promotions, so joining before a big sale can help you shop before popular gifts run out. Because gifts are offered while supplies last, it pays to order early in a promotion window rather than on its final day.

How to use a Kiehl's promo code

1. Sign in to your My Kiehl's Rewards account so your points and member offers apply.
2. Add products to your bag. Gift-with-purchase offers like the 3-piece gift needed no code, but check each offer's terms.
3. Enter your code at checkout and apply it. If you have enough points for a $10 reward, check how to redeem it on the rewards page.
4. Review the order summary to confirm the discount, gifts and shipping before paying.
