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, ...

It's works!
It works, just have to be consistent with it, day and night. Id say its very expensive for the tiny bottle! But i do see rhe difference, i dont have my dark spots anymore!
It worked for me
It worked for me. I took a before and after picture after using it for 30 days and saw notable results. I mostly used it twice a day, but sometimes I only used it once.

It smelled nice, but...
Great smell and feel on skin, however after using the whole bottle I saw no difference in my spots. I have melasma and I know it's difficult to treat, but I was willing to spend the money to try this. I wouldn't recommend this for melasma, not sure about other sun damage.
Good Serum but Expensive
I'm not sponsored to say this, but the serum really works if you use it consistently. You can't expect major results in just a week, yet I always end up returning to it. My only complaint is that it's pretty expensive.
Nice
