Its hydrating and helps with wrinkles
Boyfriend loves this stuff. Hydrates around his eyes and keeps wrinkles at bay. Great quality ingredients. Smells nice but not perfume. Pretty expensive for the small bottle size you get but we’re ok with that because it does work.

Love this serum!
Probably the best C serum I’ve used other than Mad Hippie. You can feel it working with that little bit of sting. It really makes my skin feel soft and helps with fine lines and sun spots. It goes on lightly and can be used every day. No scent. Fantastic value for the price.

Best anti-aging skin cream. Use very little
This product is the best one to keep your skin from thickening and creasing. I have been using Kielâs for 20 years I am 78 and my face is smooth. All you need is a few tiny drops.

Hands down the best vitamin C serum I’ve ever tried
Iâm the kind of person who loves to explore different skincare products, always on the lookout for that âholy grailâ serum that can truly transform my skin. Over the past 10 years, while Iâve rotated countless brandsâfrom high-end options like Sunday Riley and Dr. Dennis Gross to budget finds on AmazonâIâve always come back to one consistent favorite: Kiehlâs Powerful-Strength 12.5% Vitamin C Serum.In the world of skincare, it’s recommended to switch up your products every few months to keep your skin from adapting and becoming less responsive. This practice has led me to try everything from the surprisingly effective yet short-lived Brandefy serum (great on the first go but lost its magic by the second bottle) to La Roche-Posay, which was promising but oxidized way too quickly.Kiehlâs, however, stands out for many reasons. Its silky texture is a pleasure to use, and it boasts one of the highest concentrations of L-ascorbic acidâa hard-to-beat 12.5%! This is the gold standard for vitamin C in skincare, known for its potency and efficacy. My skin absolutely loves it. Regular use has visibly faded sun spots and smoothed out fine lines around my eyes and on my neck.Iâve seen some incredible results, and after all these years, Kiehl’s Vitamin C serum remains my go-to. Itâs a product I truly believe in and will continue to purchase. For anyone looking to invest in their skin, this serum is a must-try. Trust me, your skin will thank you!

I love it! Highly recommended
Becomes one of my favorite Vitamins C for face. Great smell, smooth texture and easy to apply. Brightening up dark spots. Recommend to keep the lid closed after use to prevent the oxidation of the product.

Not a good fit for very dry skin
This was a bit pricey for the skin care it provided. I didnât notice any positive skin changes. I have very dry skin, and I didnât find it very moisturizing, certainly not for the price. Itâs not a thin cream; but itâs closer to the texture of a lotion versus a cream. The smell wasnât bad but it wasnât a scent that I loved, either. I know that many women get good results from this cream. It just wasnât for me and my very dry skin. The quality was good but I did think they were being very cheap to have such a small bottle cost what it did.

The straw inside the bottle that works with the pump action was missing.

El producto es muy bueno, otra cosa es la preparación del envÃo, la caja del producto vino abierta dentro de la caja de Amazon. El frasco presentaba algún resto de suciedad.No son productos baratos, creo que la caja del producto deberÃa venir envuelta en un plástico protector y/o el frasco precintado.
