At this favored haunt of top models and stylists, white-smocked assistants can help you choose between the lotions and potions, all of which are packaged in deceptively simple-looking bottles and jars. Some of the products, such as the pineapple-papaya facial scrub, Silk Groom hair-styling aid, and the superrich Creme de Corps, have attained near-cult status among beautyphiles. Kiehl's is also known for being generous with samples, so be sure to ask for your own bag of take-home testers.
