Okay so I've used a couple of trial size versions of this product and my question is - how does the vitamin C percentage compare to the brand's anti-dark sport correcting serum? Because the 12.5% in this product is pretty decent?! I prefer the way this product feels on my skin, it's quite smooth and creamy, but still very light. I feel a slight tingling when I use it, which I like because it makes me feel like it's actually doing something. My main concern is hyperpigmentation rather than lines, but I think this product still helps with the spots because of the vitamin C content. I wouldn't say I noticed a huge improvement in either though, just a little. My skin feels plump, smooth, soft and moisturised without feeling at all greasy.

I don't hate or love this product. It has a great vitamin C level, and it will help to smooth out the skins surface, immediately as well as long-term. What I didn't like about this product was the silicon feel. It creates a film over your skin, and is very hard to spread, especially if your skin is on the drier side. It doesn't seem to offer any immediate hydration, so definitely keep that in mind. Because of the silicon feel, it does have an immediate smoothing effect, and when used longterm it does smooth fine lines and improve radiance.
This is a fab serum. It's perfect for those looking for anti-ageing benefits and a bit of added radiance.
It's got quite a high amount of vitamin c in it, you can feel the active ingredients when you apply it and it warms the skin!
It's an all-rounder, it plumps wrinkles and fine lines and refines the skin texture - mine looks and feels better than ever. Softer, smoother and more even in tone.
I think the price is actually reasonable - it;ll last at least 8 weeks - and if the 3 week effects are anything to go buy, its well worth the investment!
With it’s creamy texture and warming effect, Kiehl's Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate made my skin look and feel AMAZING!
A little goes a long way with this product, so use sparingly. As soon as I applied Kiehl's Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate to my frown lines I noticed a massive difference. My frown lines seemed to almost disappear before my eyes, and my skin felt smooth and healthy.
With it’s easy pump action bottle, this concentrate is extremely simple to use.
I am so glad I landed a spot on this trial team - I've been lucky enough to trial 3 face changing products!
This serum I've been using all over, applying about 5 minutes after I've used the dark spot corrector on targeted area. It's a silky serum that melts into the skin, melts I say! It is divine!!
It has a sort of earthy smell, it's not pleasant, but not unpleasant, just 'there'. It dissipates quickly.
It really is a powerful serum, my skin is plumped and glowing (that's be the Vit C!). I feel it looks younger, which is lovely, especially with lots of socialising events at this time of year. It's nice to feel good in your skin!
I like to leave it 5 minutes before applying my moisturiser as I did experience a bit of balling when applying the cream soon after.
I'm so impressed with the results after just 3 weeks, I can't wait for the results after the next 3 weeks.
A great product from my new-favourite brand!
This stuff is great! But be warned it’s pretty potent. I first used this and then added a retinol serum to my under eye area, wow it stung. This serum has a warming effect, and I have found best to use on its own. Don’t worry about not using moisturiser you don’t this this on top, the serum itself leaves your skin feeling so soft and bright and clear in the morning. I don’t know if this has softened any wrinkles BUT i have had lots of late nights this time of the year and my skin isn’t looking tired and dull which I put down to this serum
Tips: Like I mention at the beginning be careful what you use this product in conjunction with, don’t use any retinols or anything this is exfoliating as your skin will sting. This product is enough to exfoliate alone
I love this stuff. After just a couple of weeks, my skin is lighter, brighter, and dare I say "dewy"? It's a light cream in a little pump bottle. One pump is enough to do my face and neck. It's silky smooth, and I thought it was greasy at first, but it's a dry oil and my skin soaks it up. My skin looks and feels amazing. I am so impressed with it.
Tips: One pump is all you need
I have mixed feelings on this product. I don't enjoy the texture which feels more like a primer due to the amount of silicone, making it hard to spread and I have found it never fully absorbs into my skin and leaves a tacky residue.
I used two pumps for my face and neck, sometimes an extra half pump. I do like the packaging because the pump is hygenic, it works properly and you can be precise with the amount you need. It says your skin might feel warm after application as the formula activates but I didn't notice that myself. I found that as it is high in Vitamin C, when I next cleansed, the cotton pad looked like I had wiped off a tinted moisturiser as the formula darkens when exposed to air. That doesn't bother me but it did give me a surprise at first.
My skin texture has improved somewhat which I am pleased about and my face appears slightly brighter, but I would expect more after 3 weeks of use of such a high strength product, especially as this is so expensive. I would reccomend this if my results get better soon, but considering the price and my results with this concentrate so far, I'm not sure if I will replace it for myself. I would also prefer the product without so much silicone.
Tips: Pat the product in to help absorb it into the skin.
This line reducing serum is a light, smooth, creamy consistently it kind of leaves a nice matte affect on the skin. It comes in a bottle with a pump applicator really easy to use and can do half pumps if needed. It has a slight lemony scent that's not noticeable once its on the skin. I use about a pump and half at night and 1 pump in the morning to cover my face. It absorbs very quickly and i cover my whole face, but more so concentrating around my eyes and mouth. When used straight after cleaning i really noticed the warm sensation in my in my skin like a flushing face feeling, if i used after other serums a little less so. It doesn't affects how it works. I've been using this for just under a month and using it morning and night and only used a small amount out of the 50ml bottle so it will last me a long amount of time. This is a higher end price point for me at $128 its higher than some other brands on the markets but i think in this case you pay for what you get. And it worth its price. Its a tan 50ml bottle with a black pump and a white label, its simple and nice to look at. I've been using this for a short amount of time morning and night and have really notice the fine lines around my eyes have started fade, my skin feel at lot softer and smoother. This had really done what it says it will for my face and i couldnt be happier with my results in a short time. I would totally recommend this to anyone who is noticing those fine lines and wrinkles it will really help and its such a nice product use.
Tips: I think that for best results this does need to be used consistently morning and night everyday you wont regret it!
This serum is very luxurious, brightening and overall has made a noticeable difference in my skin. I just really can't get past how expensive it is. There are other products that have similar effects at a lower price point.
