Effective

Makes my skin supple and healthy looking. Very light and non-greasy. It does not have any scent and packaging is very elegant and easy to read. Good product!

KIEHL’S Glycolic Serum 30 ml

This lightweight serum has only 7 ingredients—and 9.8% pure glycolic acid. Here’s what I noticed after a few weeks: ✅ Skin felt smoother overnight ✅ Pores looked tighter ✅ Subtle glow without irritation ⚠️ Use slowly—this one’s potent! Perfect for oily, dull, or uneven skin. Not ideal for sensitive or reactive types. Worth it if you want real results—fast. 💡 Use at night, 2–3x/week. Always pair with SPF the next morning!

If ur skin is stubborn try two layers

I use this serum to exfoliate my skin and also Sunday Riley skin good genes and I feel I can tell the difference in my pores and evened out skin tone. I usually drop two layers of glycolic acid serum and I get better results w it.
