Uncomfortable to put on

Feels like putting tiny glass shards on my face. I see other reviews saying it’s smooth. Mine definitely isn’t.

For people who wants to lighten the skin tone

Kiehl’s Vitamin C Serum is a fantastic addition to my skincare routine. It absorbs easily into the skin without leaving any greasy residue, making it perfect for layering under moisturizer or makeup. After a few weeks of use, my complexion looks noticeably brighter and smoother, with a healthy glow. I also appreciate that it feels gentle, even on sensitive skin. Overall, it’s an effective, lightweight serum that delivers visible results and makes my skin look more radiant and even toned.

Perfect

The Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Serum is a potent antioxidant concentrate formulated for the comprehensive improvement of skin condition. The product targets primary signs of aging, including loss of radiance, uneven texture, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. The key feature of the formula is its high concentration of 10.5% pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) combined with 2% Ascorbyl Glucoside, ensuring a prolonged and stable effect. Vitamin C is a vital component for stimulating collagen synthesis, brightening pigmentation, and protecting against free radicals. The unique anhydrous formula guarantees the stability of the Vitamin C and its maximum efficacy.

Bright, smooth, and powerful — a must-have Vitamin

This serum has a smooth texture and absorbs quickly without leaving any stickiness. The scent is fresh with a slight citrus note, very uplifting in the morning. I like the packaging, the pump keeps it clean and easy to use. In terms of effectiveness, it really brightens my skin and makes it look more even after a few days. You can slightly feel the warmth when applying, which shows the Vitamin C is active — love that!
