Smooth
This serum is fantastic for my dry skin. It has a silkiness to it and is less expensive than the product I was using from the dermatologist office.

Serum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Broke me out. I’m having a really hard time w kiehls products. They’re either too drying or too clogging/oily. It took me weeks to figure out this serum breaks me out and I have dry skin. It makes my forehead so shiny and then I started getting acne.

Nicely absorbed and hydrating
I’m not sure if this make me look younger but it does absorb easily and my face looks less dry. I have sensitive skin and I use mostly Kiehl products because they work so beautifully. Time will tell if it is worthy of the cost.

Finally fixed my dehydrated skin texture
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The clear, jelly-like texture sinks in instantly without any stickiness. My skin feels genuinely plump and soft by morning. It has a very faint, clean scent.

Finally fixed my dehydrated morning skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jelly-like texture sinks in instantly without any sticky residue. It has almost no scent, which I love. My skin looks noticeably plumper and less tired by noon.
