This has become my favorite recently and I use it every day. It has a refreshing texture that absorbs easily into the skin. It tingles, but it doesn't irritate my skin and it has removed any roughness.
I've tried a lot of different serums, but I bought this one because it was new from Kiehl's. It's a light blue liquid and looks cute. I've read reviews saying it tingles, but I didn't feel any particular irritation. I didn't notice any immediate results, so I'll keep using it for a while.
It is a water-like beauty essence that is absorbed quickly when applied to the skin. It does not cause any particular irritation, and does not interfere with the lotion or other products used afterwards. The effect is not immediate, but after using it for a while, the dullness of the skin gradually disappears. it also feels smooth to the touch. My skin is in good condition, so I will continue using it.
It is absorbed into the skin immediately after application, so you can spread it all over your skin in a flash. The skin feels smooth and moisturized before applying lotion. Depending on the day, I feel a tingling sensation here and there, but it doesn't cause any roughness or redness, so I think it's within the acceptable range.
I was bothered by the tingling sensation when I applied it, but after using it, the roughness on my nose has decreased. I wish I had found this in the summer.
