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 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.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I like that this product is mild on my skin. My skin can be sensitive to some active ingredients, but this didn't burn my skin. It is a light serum and not tacky. I did notice subtle lightening of some sun exposure near my eyes and some past acne scars on my forehead with use over the past few weeks.

I used this product for approximately three weeks before noticing a fading of a significant dark spot I have above my eyebrow. I think with longer use I'll see more benefit. The product is easy to use, blends well and definitely helps with removing dark spots.

Thin liquid. This feels ultra nice going onto skin. It seems to be helping clear blemishes a well as brightening my skin. After 2 weeks I have faith that this product will work wonderfully all the time. My appearance has improved since starting to use this and I'm so grateful to have this in my arsenal.
