- Q
Does this help with oily skin?
- Asked by Staysee
- Official Answer By Kiehl's - BERetinol, a form of vitamin A, in general helps with many skin concerns. Although it is not an oil-regulating ingredient, Retinol helps stimulate cell turnover, which can help the appearance of pore size. Our retinol serum is a fast-absorbing lightweight cream. Paraben-free, fragrance-free, mineral oil-free, phthalate-free. It is great for oily skin!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this only to be used once a day?
- Asked by Laur
- Official Answer By Kiehl's - BEYes, once per day. It is safe for use in the daytime as long as you follow with sunscreen, however your skin would benefit more if used at nighttime. The Micro-Dose formula is safe for use around the orbital bone. I would highly recommend a vitamin C formula for daytime and a sunscreen every day. Here is a link to our beloved day serum, Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate: https://www.ulta.com/p/powerful-strength-line-reducing-concentrate-pimprod2002968?cmpid=PS_Non!google!PSG_PrestSkin_Kiehls&CAWELAID=330000200001686362&CATRK=SPFID-1&CAAGID=63320924285&CATCI=kwd-299732264828&CAPCID=438250361759&CADevice=c&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1NebBhDDARIsAANiDD0UmtH5oXiHCtm0PPsDfcnxUQipISdw1Nz0HJ7tYrpxksKHyew9eekaAvorEALw_wcBWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this be used with a squalene and vitamin C oil?
- Asked by ASHLEY
- Official Answer By Kiehl's - BEHi there! Thank you for inquiring about our Mirco-Dose Anti-Aging Retionl Serum with Ceramides and Peptide. Using Vitamin C and Retinol will enhance any anti-aging routine, but they should not be used together. We recommend using a Vitamin C product, such as Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Serum, in the morning and a retinol serum at night. This will avoid skin sensitization while ensuring that Vitamin C defends, protects, and supports collagen production, while retinol renews skin cells and stimulates collagen. We also recommend reaching for a creamy moisturizer that contains emollients, such as Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane. However for the best skin advice, we always recommend that you discuss this with your dermatologist. We hope this help!Was this answer helpful to you

I actually love this...
I actually love this product, however, the amount indicated doesn't seem to match up. I used the product maybe 15 times with a minute amount… extremely small - and it was gone. I broke open the bottle because I assumed the pump no longer worked. I must say I was shocked at the small amount of serum...

Good Product, No irritation
I am able to use this product. It works well to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin texture. It is not drying and I've experienced no irritation. I do use at night and use sunscreen during the day. I will purchase again and highly recommend.
I'd buy this again!
I've only been using this a few weeks now, but have very sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. Melts into the skin and doesn't have a strong scent! Love it!
Holy grail!!
I have been using another brand for sometime. I didn't feel like it did much, read the reviews on this and took a chance. I have pretty sensitive skin and this has done wonders! I highly recommend and make sure to use moisturizer after applying
