Kiehl's
Finding it
Kiehl's is in Departures in Terminal 1 at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
Terminal 1 has 13 places to eat and 8 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 3:30am.
Hours against the security queue
Kiehl's opens at 5am and closes at 9pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical LAX checkpoint queue at 9 minutes around 5am.
Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 12pm at a median of 20 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 2 minutes. This location is already open before those queues build.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
This is the only Kiehl's in the LAX terminal system, placed in Terminal 1's departures corridor alongside Brookstone and I Love L.A. rather than in a beauty-specific cluster. Hours run 5am to 9pm, so it closes well before the terminal's later evening departures and won't be an option for a last-minute pickup on a late flight. Anyone flying out of Terminal 1 after 9pm will need to have bought skincare earlier in the day or looked elsewhere in the terminal.
Other options in Terminal 1
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
