A skincare enthusiast has raved about a potent anti-ageing serum that put her skin concerns in the past and gave her complexion a “perfect skin glow”.
It’s Kiehl’s Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum, which is now 20% off online for a limited time, a beauty award-winner that formulates with a daily strength of Pure Retinol to visibly reduce the look of wrinkles, firm and refine the feel of skin texture.
The everyday serum is great for first-time retinol users and all skin types, including sensitive skin – as the micro-dosage of Pure Retinol, Ceramides and Peptides work to minimise typical signs of discomfort such as redness, dryness and peeling.
Kiehl’s offers “Friends and Family discounts” on selected products, and skincare buffs can buy the retinol serum at £57.60 instead of £72 – but if you spend more than £100, you can enjoy 25% off, which brings the price further down to £54.
The 27-year-old used the Kiehl’s serum to treat her wrinkles and acne and she was impressed, writing: “I wanted to start my journey with retinol for my forehead wrinkles and hormonal acne. I was hesitant about retinoids at first because of my dry and sensitive skin but this product delivered. I have been using it for two weeks and my forehead wrinkles are barely noticeable!”
Another shopper said her skin “underwent a transformation never imagined possible” and praised the “miracle potion” for giving her skin a radiance like a polished mirror.
She added: “This product works deep, addressing blemishes with precision. Those pesky spots? Consider them history. And don’t get me started on unbalanced skin tone – it’s like this product has a vendetta against discolouration. It certainly rejuvenated my skin. But the real magic is beneath the surface. My skin feels healthier, more resilient like it’s been given a new lease on life.”
The retinol serum also works on men as one male shopper left a five-star review and shared: “Have been using this product for over a year now – I have tried other retinol sedums in the past, but this one is truly nourishing while also providing visible improvements.”
But some disliked the bottle design and said they struggled to get the product out of the pump bottle. One shopper wrote: “The packaging is terrible! The glass bottle is so dark that you cannot see how much product is left. There’s no way to open the bottle – the top doesn’t screw on/off.”
Another said: “I only got to use it twice before it fell and broke. The 1.7 oz bottle has a heavy glass, and the plastic cap couldn’t hold it, which caused it to fall.”
Other than Kiehl’s, Medik8’s Crystal Retinal Vitamin A serum, from £45, is available in different strengths with “Crystal Retinal 1” as the mildest. The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum is another winner loved by skincare gurus. Facialist Donna Bartoli recently revealed she’s been using it for 30 years to achieve youthful skin.
