[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time trying a Vitamin C serum, and it didn’t irritate my skin. It has such a soft texture, is easy to apply, and has a nice scent.

I love Kheils products BUT the Vitamin C Serum makes me break out with pimples every time I use it. I don’t have a breakout or pimple problem generally and have gone stretches without using the serum to see if in fact the serum is the trigger. And unfortunately it is. Every time I use it I am assured to wake up with pimple. Bummer.

Results from this product are very gratifying. I purchased to minimize fine lines and dark spots. The forehead lines? I’m very pleased they are disappearing after 2 weeks of using 2x/day. The dark spots may take a little more time. Overall a great product for my use, I’m also experiencing some slight firming in my problem area (forehead). We’ll repost more results after a month. I’m Happy I purchased this product

A delightful serum that hydrates and smoothes my skin. My skin looks better and I have used it for several years. Of course, drinking water always helps too!

I have been using this serum for several years. It was recently updated and appears white instead of the usual yellowish color. Also, the tingling sensation is gone. Wish the ingredients would have remained the same.

The Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Serum has been amazing for my skin! The texture is silky and smooth, and it absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or sticky. I love that it layers well under moisturizer and makeup. It has a light citrus scent that feels fresh but not overpowering. The packaging is practical with the pump, which makes it easy to control the right amount of product and keeps it hygienic. In terms of effectiveness, my skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even-toned after consistent use. Fine lines are less noticeable, and it gives my skin a healthy glow. Definitely a staple in my skincare routine!

I am not a fan of putting too many products on my face especially in the morning when there’s just so many other things to do. I limit it to 4-5 products and this has to be part of that routine!

I used this product in my daytime routine and was really happy with it. Just a little reminder whenever you use this or any kind of vitamin C serum, don’t skip your sunscreen! Your skin will look radiant, like glass. I used to keep it in the fridge, and I loved that cool sensation on my skin every time I applied it.

This was my favorite Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid lotion. I used it for many years and could definitely notice an improvement of my forehead lines when used daily. It seems the formulation is now reformulated and the ratio of Vitamin-C has been obviously been reduced. As others have mentioned, it's more of a white color rather than the slight orange/yellow tint it was previously and it no longer makes the "tingling" sensation upon application. I have a couple bottles left but I am not a fan of the new formulation so I will have to look at other options.

Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Serum. It is possible minor changes were made to the product formula; however, the performance should meet or exceed previous results and may not be noticeable. There are different reasons why a formula might be changed; availability of ingredients, changing industry requirements, and product improvements are common examples. The ingredients listed on the physical product are always accurate listing. We hope this helps!

This serum is potent and packed with vitamin c! Don’t worry about the slight tingly feeling because that is the Vitamin C serum working its magic. Easy to open packaging with a gentle scent that is not offensive. Perfect for evening out my skin from acne scars.
Recommend it.

I use this product religiously. However this last bottle I got is a different color. Normally it’s yellow tinted, this one is almost white. I wonder if the formula changed. I hope the product works just as well.
