About this item

Highlights

  • 9.8% Pure Glycolic Acid: An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that effectively dissolves the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, encouraging faster surface cell turnover.
  • Minimalist Formula: Contains only seven ingredients, removing potential irritants like fragrance and colorants to ensure the acid works efficiently.
  • Refines Texture: Clinically proven to minimize the appearance of pores and smooth out rough skin texture.
  • Boosts Radiance: Regular use helps fade the look of surface discolorations and brightens a dull complexion.
  • Fast-Acting: Most users see a visible improvement in skin "glow" and smoothness within 3 to 7 days of use.

Description

Part of the minimalist "Ultra Pure" collection, this high-potency serum is designed to transform skin texture and boost radiance. Often referred to in retail systems by the shorthand "SSER Glycolic 10%", it actually contains a precise 9.8% Glycolic Acid concentration. This "peel-in-a-bottle" targets dullness and unevenness to reveal smoother, glowing skin in just a few days. The 30ml dropper bottle is a concentrated treatment that focuses on chemical exfoliation with a clean, 7-ingredient formula.

Effective

Makes my skin supple and healthy looking. Very light and non-greasy. It does not have any scent and packaging is very elegant and easy to read. Good product!

KIEHL’S Glycolic Serum 30 ml

This lightweight serum has only 7 ingredients—and 9.8% pure glycolic acid. Here’s what I noticed after a few weeks: ✅ Skin felt smoother overnight ✅ Pores looked tighter ✅ Subtle glow without irritation ⚠️ Use slowly—this one’s potent! Perfect for oily, dull, or uneven skin. Not ideal for sensitive or reactive types. Worth it if you want real results—fast. 💡 Use at night, 2–3x/week. Always pair with SPF the next morning!

This serum, with 9.8% glycolic acid and only 7 ing

I love Kiehl's products, and a consultant recommended I try this one. The serum is formulated with only 7 ingredients, including 9.8% glycolic acid, ensuring a simple yet effective skincare solution. I immediately felt a gentle polishing effect during the first application. The serum absorbs quickly into the skin without any stickiness and has a neutral scent. After a few weeks, my skin feels noticeably firmer. Highly recommend! The packaging is minimalistic and user-friendly, featuring a precise dropper for easy application.

HOW TO USE THIS? SHOULD I USE THIS EVERYDAY

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Should i use this everynight? I just buy this and i dont know if i can use this everyday, or just 2-3 times a week? Please help me

Hello! Our Ultra Pure High-Potency 9.8% Glycolic Acid Serum is a great choice for boosting your skin's glow and minimizing pores. Since it's a potent formula, we recommend starting with 2-3 applications per week in the evening, using just 2-3 drops on clean, dry skin. As your skin adjusts, you can gradually increase how often you use it. If you'd like extra hydration, try layering it with our Hyaluronic Acid serum, or for oil reduction and soothing, our Niacinamide serum works wonders. For more helpful tips and information, check out our website or the product packaging. We're excited for you to experience the benefits!

Love this

I love Kiehl's products, and this one did not disappoint ! I use a lot of skincare, so I don't buy the same things unless I really like the product. I have repurchased this item and will continue to do so until they pull it. It puts other glycolic acids to shame. It absorbs easily, and I noticed a difference in texture after a few weeks. I use it in my PM routine after my toner and essence. It lasts a long time, so the price isn't that bad when you think about how long it lasts.

Effective product

Just when you didn't think you needed another Kiehl's product... This is great, especially overnight or first thing in the morning. I use a week at a time and then rotate with other Kiehl's serum.

Works well

High potency and works as this product should. Use a little and it helps with cell turnover. Would recommend as long as you’re layering the product

Ouch!

I bought this product a month ago and have been using a small amount nightly. Unfortunately with the warmer temps and sun my face began having a burn reaction. It created large red blotches on my cheeks and below my eyes that are very painful. It seems like a mixture of a chemical burn and sun burn. I didn’t think this would be a problem since I have only been applying the product at night. I’m pretty bummed because I wanted to love this product but unfortunately will not be able to keep it.
