Kiehl's Vital Skin-Strengthening Super Serum Review
A skin-strengthening serum that helps protect against skin-aging stressors and visibly correct signs of aging.
What It Is
Our skin-strengthening serum penetrates skin 8 surface layers deep* to help correct signs of aging through visibly diminishing fine lines and reviving tired-looking, dull skin, which can be caused by skin-aging stressors. Formulated with 11kDa Hyaluronic Acid — our smallest form of Hyaluronic Acid — and a proprietary Adaptogenic Herbal Complex, our potent “super serum” deeply penetrates skin’s surface layers** and neutralizes skin-aging stressors to visibly renew skin.
*Based on a clinical study of 25 panelists measuring the penetration of the full formula via tape stripping.
**Stratum corneum layers.
What It’s Good For
• Strengthens skin from within its deepest surface layer
• Protects against stressors including sun exposure, pollution, stress, lack of sleep, diet and temperature that can lead to early signs of aging
• Visibly reduces fine lines, improves resilience and boosts radiance for glowing, healthy-looking skin
• Absorbs easily with a lightweight texture
• For all skin types, including sensitive skin
Ingredients
11kDa HYALURONIC ACID
Our smallest molecular size of Hyaluronic Acid, this micronized ingredient penetrates to fortify skin within its deepest surface layers.* By delivering skin-strengthening hydration to skin’s most vulnerable layer, 11kDa Hyaluronic Acid helps better retain moisture for improved resiliency, suppleness and bounce.
*Stratum corneum
ADAPTOGENIC HERBAL COMPLEX
Our Adaptogenic Herbal Complex is a proprietary blend of adaptogens — Red Ginseng Root, Holy Basil and Schisandra Berry — traditionally used in Traditional Chinese, Korean and Ayurvedic Medicine. Within our formula, these adaptogens work synergistically to defend skin from stressors while renewing and resurfacing skin’s texture for a smooth, radiant appearance.
How to Use
• Apply skin-strengthening serum onto cleansed face and neck, morning and night
• Can be used under another serum and/or moisturizer
• Avoid contact with eyes
• If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water

I received a sample from Farmers, I wanted to try it before spending $100 plus for a small bottle. The formula is not too runny, not too thick, creamy colour but applies clear. The smell is quite herby but soon dissipated. My skin felt a little tighter and hydrated, non irritating formula which was good for my skin. Haven't noticed a huge difference in lines and wrinkles, but over time with extended use this may help smooth out my skin. Do not get near eyes, contains Hyaluronic acid and several herbs, hence the earthy perfume. Not sure if I will repurchase, due to the price point.
