Amazing Product!
Don't expect this to work over night, but it does work. I didn't notice the effect it had on my skin until I saw a photo of me without from a year ago and I was amazed at how much better my skin looks (before and after photo for reference)! I'm on my second bottle so I've been using this for awhile....

So much good at Kiehl's, but not this.
I've been using Kiehl's products for a looooong time. Obviously I like a lot of them, though I've never written a review. Yes they're expensive, but if a product performs well, I'll accept the cost. I was hopeful this product would help with sunspots on my face. Probably not make them disappear, ...

I was skeptical at first with this product since it was one of those feee samples but during my used of it slightly notice my dark spots fading slowly dont assume within a week they will fade very fast this procedure takes time and taking care of your skin I would recommend it to people to used it and give it time for better results

I have to use the serum every day for the last 2 weeks to see the result, I would like to say that the serum help a bit to make my dark spot go away. Especially the ones on my cheek and I feel like the skin texture is improve a bit. My skin is smoother and look more healthy.


Better serums out there

I used this in hopes of reducing the dark spots on my face but saw minimal, if any, improvement in my spots. The serum has a great texture and no smell but it just really didn't deliver the results I was hoping for. I'll continue to use it until empty but doubt I'd purchase again. The price is too high to justify the minimal results.
Another Great Product From Kiehls

I'm noticing some clarity in my skin from using this. And, with all Kiels's face products that I have tried, general skin texture is improved as well.
