Details & care

What it is: A powerful vitamin C serum, now formulated with even more vitamin C, that visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
What it does: Kiehl's original formula, infused with 10.5% pure vitamin C, now has an additional 2% of vitamin Cg for increased potency. Vitamin Cg is a vitamin C derivative that activates once absorbed into the upper layers of the skin's surface and is used in anti-wrinkle skin care products to help reduce facial lines over time. Fragmented hyaluronic acid has also been added to this formula to help instantly smooth skin. Through clinical studies, this serum has been shown to help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin radiance and texture, even helping to reduce the appearance of forehead lines, marionette lines and deep-set wrinkles after four weeks of regular use.
How to use: Smooth on this anti-wrinkle serum morning and night to experience the warming sensation and fresh citrus scent. Cleanse skin thoroughly prior to application. Apply over your entire face, avoiding the eye area. As the formula blends into skin, you may experience a feeling of warmth. It can be used twice a day, morning and night.

Once you try it, you won't go back!

If you are looking for that one product that is a must....this is it. I used many different skin care products in the past and in an effort to slimline the morning process, I began eliminating one product at a time to see which one was most effective. A week after Kiehls, Vit. C was eliminated, I saw a difference. This product does what it says it will. Fine lines...gone, even skin tone...done, smooth texture...there. I make sure I NEVER run out

Disappointing

This item does not come in a bottle with as listed in the description. It comes in a tube and the substance is not a liquid as with most vitamin c products. The consistency is an oily type gel that feels heavy and gross under my make up. You will be disappointed.

Thanks for your review. We checked in person and you’re right—the 0.5 oz. size comes in a tube, not in a bottle as the larger sizes do. We have since updated our product information so what you see above is accurate. Please accept our apologies for your inconvenience and disappointment. As always, we appreciate your feedback.

A product that delivers true results.

It works. I am 73 years old. I love the results of this product. I have only been using it for approximately a week. I have a very noticeable result on all my deep lines. I would recommend this product to anyone with deep lines. I will be ordering this again.

Great texture - very unique

I was looking for a new vitamin C serum when I finished my Drunk Elephant CFirma and Sunday Riley CEO. I read many great reviews about this concentrate so I gave it a go. This product has a great unique texture that the other 2 products I mentioned don't have. It glides on very smooth and feels almost like a primer. I use and oil on top of this and my daily moisturizer. Products layer beautifully on top of this concentrate. I've used this for about 3 weeks now so I have not seen long term results yet (vitamin C is a slow and steady type of a treatment) if this gives me the same long term results as the Drunk Elephant C Firma I will be gladly switching. Just for reference - I have normal to oily skin and I am 35.

Gentle Powerful Line-Reducer

This is wonderful cream. I use it in the morning and at night. I have been using it for several years and buy it in the largest bottle it is available in. It makes my skin feel tingly and smooth. I think it has made a difference in the appearance of fine lines. I use a lot of Kiehl's products, and this is one of my favorites.

Excellent

This Serum it’s the best that I ever try it. My skin is super sensitive and this serum didn’t give me any reaction. Meek my face looks without imperfections and smooth. I’m so happy with that.

Best serum I have found

Provides a great moisture barrier. Is warm as it soaks in. It has evened out my skin tone.

Unsure as to benefit

Unsure as to long term effects, however, the silicone feel of this lotion is really only good for night use. It does not absorb into skin well.

not worth it

This was recommended along with other Khiels products which I had to return because I got some serious cystic acne which I have never.. like never had until now!! Needless to say I returned everything, except for this Vitamin C because it seems to be ok. Then I see it has silicone which is why is glided on so smoothly yet here I am again with acne after using their products. Guess I will be going to the store again to return another sub par product. If you have sensitive clear skin stay away from this line.
