Kiehl's Vital Skin-Strengthening Super Serum Review

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.

This is so lovely! The pump bottle is easy to use and disperses a good amount of product for the face and neck.

It's really easily absorbed and leaves no residue. It's so light and although not a runny consistency it's not a heavy oily serum either.

This promises to protect against stressors (I shall have to douse myself before my next MIL visit!) and to correct signs of ageing. I've definitely noticed fine lines looking less, and my skin feeling more plump overall. It makes my skin incredibly soft after use and also it creates a lovely even feel for the next layer of my skin care routine.

I can even use this without following with a moisturiser it's very moisturising and by itself leaves a great base for applying foundation.

I think this is a really super serum, perfect for people who want a basic all-rounder, and also for people who are maybe trying the serum thing for the first time.

First off, I love the simple packaging where all the information about the product is there and you dont have to go looking elsewhere for it. The scent is nice and subtle which is always favoured (personally) for facial serums. Texture is quite odd, super liquidy but a little goes a long way.

I love the way it left my skin feeling. Soft and supple

This product is a game changer. I have always loved serums, and often found myself gravitating to some extremely expensive ones. This one did not disappoint. I found myself using this at night mainly, under moisturiser. In the winter time (or on days where I havent been drinking enough water) I think it would be good under moisturiser for during the day too, it's just a bit too strong at the moment for both given it is summer. I found at first this didn't feel like a very moisturising serum, but after a moment and letting it sink in, i was surprised to find my skin feeling so soft and hydrated. I also found my skin to appear a bit brighter when I was using this constantly.

There is no other word for this serum but; perfect. I am a long time keihls lover and gave it up when money got tight but this serum is one I will never part with. It goes on super smooth and is quickly absorbed. My skin has improved so much and fine lines have minimized. I have been getting compliments on how my skil is glowing from many people which is such a good feeling. I will definitely continue to use this serum and recommend it to others.

This serum is quite light weight and easy to apply. Some serums can be quite thick or sticky which this goes on very nicely. Not really a scent to the serum, which is good as it makes it more natural and not over powering.

The bottle has a pump and is very easy to use. Use twice a day and use a good amount on the neck.

I honestly feel like my skin has been glowing since iv used this and I would definitely recommend

This serum comes in a very convenient pump bottle and is easy to use.

My first impression was make by the smell of this serum, it smells like concentrate carrots and is very earthy. Luckily the smell doesn't stick around and I cannot smell it on my skin but those first few seconds are disconcerting!

Does this product work? Yes

My skin is looking great, there is visible tightening and my makeup applies a lot smoother afterwards. Do I think its $100 worth of smooth? No. I stopped using the serum for 2 days and the effects were instantly reversed, results appear to only work as long as the serum is applied daily.

Freekin love this serum, its so so nice on the skin. Easily absorbed into the skin and just leaves it feeling so incredibly delightful. I found my skin is definitely more glowy since using this and I'm rocking my natural skin more and more.

The packaging is gorgeous and I love a serum with a pump top, makes life soooooo much easier. Overall beautiful product and will purchase again and again.....and again xx

Wow. This super serum promises a lot! I was beyond excited to try it. But did it live up to my expectations?

I really like the packaging, its simple but still cute. The pump dispenses the perfect amount (I use two pumps because I have a big face and like to bring it down my neck and décolleté, you could probably get away with using one pump). It kind of smells like carrot juice?? Which is strange because I don't think it contains carrot haha! Maybe it's in my head.. But like the other Kiehl's products, it's mild yet pleasant. It's hard to describe the texture, it's like a serum/gel/cream hybrid. It soaks into the skin immediately so no waiting for the stickiness to absorb before moving on to your next step!

I'm at that age where I'm starting to develop fine lines so I'm looking forward to seeing the results in time. And living in New Zealand, we're exposed to harsh UV rays year round, I sit in front of a computer all day every day for work, and am not great at going to sleep early... So this serum promises to be perfect to me.

I do feel like this product is one that requires long term, regular use before you start feeling the benefits, so I will continue to use it as such. But so far, too soon to sings it's praises.

It's quite pricey, but if it delivers on it's claims, it's worth it.

This is a nice natural serum that feels lovely when going on the skin. I have very oily skin and though I have a couple of lines, I definitely don’t think I struggle with the appearance of ‘aging’, but I don’t get quite enough sleep and my skin can sometimes look quite dull. When I used this in the evening, the next morning my skin was GLOWING and looked so much brighter. I didn’t notice it really helping minimise the appearance of my lines however, but maybe if I tried using it long-term. It’s a kind of gooey but runny texture, and looks a little questionable haha. The smell is kind of weird, like strong carrots?? I think this would be best suited for people who struggle with dull looking skin, or who need something to look more fresh-faced
