lu*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinMay 2, 2021It absorbs well, has no particular scent, and feels smooth when applying. It doesn't cause any blemishes to appear either. I can even apply cream over it without any pilling - it doesn't slide around. The texture is more like a cream than an essence. I'd say it's somewhere between an emulsion and a cream? That's the kind of feeling it gives. When applying, there's a slight warming sensation and it tingles a bit. This might be because I have super sensitive skin. The sensation subsides after a little while, so I'm continuing to use it. For now, I'm only using it at night. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedNov 15, 2019
It absorbs well and has a pleasant scent. It's particularly effective for smile lines and forehead wrinkles. It definitely seems to work for wrinkle reduction. The price is a bit steep, so I stock up on a few at duty-free shops. I wish the price was a little more affordable. Sometimes, when I apply this product generously at night without any other skincare, my skin feels even more taut the next morning. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedOct 8, 2019
When I apply it in the evening, I wake up to noticeably smoother skin with improved hydration the next morning. There's a slight tingling sensation, but you get used to it after a few days of use. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinRecommendedOct 1, 2019
This is my holy grail product! While it emphasizes wrinkle-fighting properties, I find its brightening effects to be even more impressive. It really helps to even out my complexion and give me a radiant glow. When my skin is super sensitive, it can cause a tingling sensation and sometimes even lead to redness. For enhanced absorption and amplified results, I recommend using this product with a galvanic device like the Mervina New Skin. It really helps the product penetrate deeper and maximizes its effectiveness. - de****Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedAug 2, 2019
When applied with a moisturizer before bed, you can feel the effects the very next day. It helps calm blemishes and gives your skin a natural, soft glow. You might even notice a subtle brightening of your complexion. It's rare to find a serum or cream with such a high concentration of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), one of the few effective ingredients for both wrinkles and brightening. I'm on my second bottle and plan to purchase more. When applied right after cleansing, you may feel a slight warming sensation and mild tingling. The price! However, due to the high concentration of Vitamin C, it can potentially sensitize the skin, so I don't use it daily. This means it lasts quite a while. The distinctive scent! It's hard to describe - somewhat like rusty metal. It's not particularly pleasant and doesn't dissipate quickly. On days when I apply more, I can sometimes still detect a faint smell even after waking up. But often, the more beneficial a product is for your skin, the more you have to compromise on fragrance. This product alone cannot provide sufficient oil and moisture balance, so it's crucial to pair it with a hydrating moisturizer. When applied, it doesn't absorb instantly but rather sits on the skin and feels quite sticky. It's probably best to avoid using it in the morning before makeup. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinRecommendedAug 2, 2019
I loved how it absorbs with a matte finish that adheres well to the skin. With continued use, I noticed my complexion becoming a bit brighter and healthier-looking. After a month of use, I'm not sure about the wrinkle improvement, so I think I'll need to use it longer. At first, the warming sensation when applying and the characteristic vitamin scent were a bit unfamiliar. It seems more effective to apply this product after your toner has been fully absorbed by the skin. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinAtopic SkinJul 30, 2019
I bought this product because I was intrigued by the 'line reducing' claim, hoping it would help with the bizarre phenomenon of having smile lines on only one side of my face. After finishing a whole bottle, I can say that while there's no dramatic improvement, there's something fascinating - my BB cream doesn't settle into the wrinkles as much when I apply makeup! Even with long-lasting BB creams, they used to crease in my wrinkles over time, but with prolonged use of this product, the wrinkles seem less pronounced! I also loved the product's unique scent - it's like a refreshing lemon fragrance. The texture is somewhere between a rich serum and a cream, absorbing well despite its slightly heavier feel. It's great for summer too - it doesn't slide off with sweat and sinks in quickly, leaving the skin feeling fresh. The biggest drawback of this product, which could be a plus for some and a matter of personal preference, is the warming sensation when applied. At first, I felt a tingling and warmth that made me worry it might not suit my skin. However, I realized it's actually a characteristic of the product! It's important to note that this warming and slight tingling sensation could be mistaken for skin irritation, which might lead some to overlook potential incompatibility. Also, for those who dislike this warm, slightly tingly feeling, it could be a definite downside. I apply it to my wrinkle-prone areas right after cleansing in the evening, and first thing in the morning after washing my face. By the time I'm ready to apply makeup, it leaves my skin with just the right amount of hydration! 
m2*****Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJul 16, 2019I use this product with high hopes. The texture and how it absorbs are particularly intriguing - there's this warm yet slightly rough sensation that makes me feel like it's really going to work wonders. Applying this product alone causes an oil explosion. My T-zone becomes excessively greasy. Even after washing my face in the morning, if I only use water, I feel like there's some kind of white film left behind. And the scent... it smells like metal, like iron! The day after using this product, whiteheads pop up prominently, so I use a nose strip or pore pack to clean out my pores. In the morning, I make sure to cleanse with a facial cleanser. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 26, 2019
With consistent use, I've truly seen improvement in my wrinkles. I'm definitely going to repurchase this product. As expected from Kiehl's, the price is quite intimidating. I recommend waiting for a sale to make your purchase. - pi****Oily SkinAcne SkinWrinkles/ElasticityMay 26, 2019
I personally found the absorption and application to be excellent. I was also satisfied with its effectiveness in improving wrinkles. Despite having oily skin, I experienced an unusual and intense tingling sensation every time I used it, which led me to discontinue use. Additionally, the scent was somewhat overpowering, which further discouraged me from using it. While I don't have any specific tips, I found that mixing it with a firming essence seemed to enhance its effectiveness.
