Pros

The texture absorbs well, making it easy to apply. It seems to provide good hydration.

Cons

It caused an allergic reaction from my eyebrows down, with itching, tingling, and swelling. Even after washing it off midway, my eyes, mouth, and cheeks were so puffy that I had to take medication.

Pros

The unique texture reminds me of freshly pressed pear juice. It absorbs well into the skin. While it's closer to a gel cream, this brightening line has a richer feel compared to typical brightening products.

Cons

The ingredients aren't particularly impressive. For a brightening moisturizer, it does provide some hydration, but it's relatively weak compared to other creams. It also doesn't absorb as quickly as one might hope.

Pros

1. This product is a whitening cream, but it is not drying and provides a moisturizing feel!

Cons

1. However, it feels oily, so it may be too greasy to use frequently in the summer when using it for whitening.

Tip

The formula has some oiliness, so it's best to use it only in the evening.

Pros

The texture of the brightening treatment is a gel-type cream that provides a moisturized and nourished feel. It's a unique texture, not a common one, somewhere between an oil gel and an ointment. The formula provides moisture and hydration, so it doesn't sit on the skin but absorbs well. When you apply it and roll it on the skin, it feels soft and supple, like a whipped cream. I was surprised by how smooth and soft the rolling sensation was when I cleansed my face the next morning. The finish is quite dewy and silky. It's great to use the treatment as a final step in the summer, and to layer it in the winter. The product doesn't feel heavy or unabsorbed, and there's no stickiness at all - it just sinks into the skin and leaves long-lasting moisture, so I hardly feel any tightness.

Cons

The oil-gel to ointment-like texture may feel oily to those with oily skin.

Pros

I received a sample a very long time ago through an event. Just as it said on the front, it was truly transparent, so I thought it might be a gel cream. But when I applied it, it felt more like a regular cream in terms of both moisture and oil content. It has a slight oily feel but not excessively so, and it's moisturizing without being dry, with quick absorption.

Cons

It's just a regular cream, but it seems a bit pricey. Since I only tried the sample, I'm not sure about the whitening effect.

Pros

My skin is quite sensitive, so I don't apply just anything, but this product has good moisture.

Cons

It doesn't have a dramatic brightening effect, but if you use it consistently, it should be effective for blemishes.

Pros

I was aware that this product line improves blemishes and acne scars, thereby enhancing the overall complexion. After trying the sample from this line, I noticed significant improvements within just 2 weeks. It's not a whitening product, but I do wake up with a soft, supple skin the next day.

Cons

The product is a bit pricey, and the lightweight gel formula means it gets used up faster than expected.

Tip

Using the entire line definitely makes acne scars noticeably lighter. Since it contains AHA, it's essential to apply sunscreen as well.

Pros

What's this? I didn't expect such a radiant glow... It's a whitening product, but it was moisturizing and I felt like a little went a long way. And most importantly, my bare face seems to have brightened - I'm not sure if it's from using this product or the Cyanic essence, since I bought and started using them around the same time.

Cons

The price is way too expensive... and the ingredients don't seem good either ㅠㅠ

Pros

The first impression was like a watery Vaseline. I was worried it might be greasy, but it has just the right amount of oil content to create a subtle glow, while being very moisturizing and absorbing well. It sinks in nicely and leaves a hydrated finish, so I don't mind reapplying it to dry areas like the eye contour during drier seasons.

Cons

While I didn't experience any breakouts during use, after reviewing the full ingredient list, I likely won't repurchase. There are so many great, gentle formulas available these days. I also don't like that the Kiehl's cream comes in a jar. I wish it was in a tube format instead, as that would allow for more hygienic and complete usage of the product.

Tip

Since the jar format means I need to use it up quickly, I've also been using this as a foot cream at times. Foot creams usually have a long-lasting oily feel, where the excess ends up on socks, bedsheets or slippers. But this cream absorbs right in, leaving my feet nicely moisturized without any residue.

Pros

• Price 50ml 72,000 won (based on department store) • The price is very high compared to the volume, but it is a functional cosmetic with whitening effects, natural ingredients, and melanin pigment blocking functions, so you should understand and purchase it accordingly. • Personally, I have relatively fair skin. Among those with fair skin, there may be some who are concerned about freckles or blemishes. You may be hesitant to use whitening products, thinking your skin will become too pale, but if you want a whitening product that can lighten freckles or blemishes, using this product along with the same line will give you a much better synergistic effect! • Kiehl's has made this product with less irritating natural ingredients for those with sensitive skin, and it contains a lot of vitamins that are good for whitening, so if you use it consistently, the effects will be 👍 • The texture itself is a gel type, so it's soft and has excellent absorption, which is the biggest strength! The texture alone tells you that it's very gentle. • It is often said that cosmetics with whitening functions have less moisture, but all of Kiehl's products are very moisturizing, and this product is no exception. You never have to worry about that! • The finish has good absorption, so there is no stickiness, but functional cosmetics tend to have a lot of nutrients, so there is a slight protective film-like feeling left on the skin surface to protect the skin.

Cons

• Personally, I was surprised by the price, and the case itself seemed messy and dirty. • I don't know if the case has changed now, but when I used it, there were a lot of issues with the case. • If you apply it to skin that has been exposed to a lot of sunlight, it may sometimes sting. In hot and sunny summers, when the skin loses a lot of moisture, and you apply a whitening cosmetic with a lot of moisture, the skin may become more sensitive and occasionally sting.

Tip

• As mentioned, the texture is a gel type, so I recommend using a spatula.
