Works for sensitive skin

I was a little nervous to try this because my skin is so crazy sensitive. This formula feels great though and did not cause any irritation,redness,etc. It absorbs super quickly and I notice a brightening effect quite quickly. I use this after cleanser and follow with moisturizer and the rest of my routine. I’m sure over time I will see more results but vitamin C takes some time to work!

One of my Essentials

I love using this product between a cleanse and moisturizer. The combo of Vitamin C and the Hyaluronic acid is great as it simplifies my routine on days I don't have time to do a toner. Smells great, feels great. Sometimes its taken me a while to finish it, but the nozzle has never clogged nor the product dried out.

Vitamin C is a must 🍊🧡

I’m a huge vitamin C lover and this product packs a promising punch. Vitamin C is known to fade dark spots and improve skin brightness. I love that this serum is a little thicker than others that I have used. I noticed actual results in about 4-6 weeks (vitamin c takes a while to work). It blends beautifully on the skin underneath moisturizer.

Brightens Skin While Managing Slight Dryness

Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Serum is light and easy to apply. It absorbs quickly into my skin without feeling sticky or heavy. At first, it made my skin feel a little dry and tight, but layering a moisturizer after helps a lot. After a few weeks of use, my skin looks brighter and more even. The texture is smooth, and it layers well under moisturizer. The serum has a mild citrus scent that fades fast. I like that it can be used both in the morning and evening. Over time, my skin feels healthier, a bit more plump, and less dull. It doesn’t cause irritation or breakouts, which is great for sensitive skin. Overall, it’s a simple, effective serum that helps improve skin tone and texture, while managing slight dryness with moisturizer.

A lightweight, fast-absorbing serum that brightens

Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Serum has a smooth, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It has a subtle, pleasant scent and feels refreshing on the skin. With consistent use, my skin looks brighter, more even-toned, and feels firmer. The serum layers well under moisturizer and makeup, making it easy to include in a daily routine. Overall, it delivers visible results and feels gentle and effective, offering great value for a high-quality product.
