In the photos it is white but I was given one and when I used it for the first time I saw that it is dark, almost brown as coffee. Is this normal? Or is it in bad condition, expired?

Q
The color of the cream is white in picture but i received yello color cream.. why so and is it safe to use
Asked by Dj27
Official Answer By Kiehl's - BE
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant. There are different types of vitamin Cs that are chemically modified for stability and delivering specific skin benefits, like L-Ascorbic Acid. Over time, even in our stabilizing waterless formula, some Vitamin C is expected to oxidize and change color. This doesn’t mean the serum is less effective, it is part of Vitamin C/L-Ascorbic Acid’s properties as an antioxidant. Through our rigorous formula testing, even with a slight color change, Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Eye Serum maintains its efficacy.Was this answer helpful to you

Good moisturizer eye cream!

The best way to know how it works is to teste it first. I had a sample that I'm using and it feels great on my eyes. I'm not sure if is helping with the black circles though. It would be great to have more samples of other products that I'm interested in trying before buying,but Kiehls no longer giv...

This product didn't help but worsened the problem

Been using this product for 2 months. Really wish I would have read the reviews instead of wasting my money. Not only has this product NOT worked but it has dried out the skin under my eyes so much that what once were wrinkles now feel like dried out scabs. Read that again. I'm serious. I've never h...

Amazing for dark under eyes

I know a lot of people will say eye cream is not necessary but I love using eye cream especially when it has added benefits. This eye cream in particular helps to camouflage my dark under eyes. In addition it gives me a flawless base for my makeup application. I have mid thirties skin and my under eyes are becoming more thin with fine lines. Having a hydrating base truly makes the difference!

It's just ok

I bought this because the store didn't have the color correcting eye serum I wanted so I took a chance. It just ok - doesn't seem to color correct as well as other brand I started using. It's moisturizing, but not as much as I thought it would be. it's ok, but I'll go back to Sunday Riley's color corrector eye serum.

I used the Kiels Serum every night. I honestly didn't see any difference in dark circles or puffiness BUT, I loved the way the serum felt on my face. It spread easily and didn't feel heavy or pasty. It absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling soft and smooth.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Burned my skin off

Submitted 2 months ago

By Q

From LA

Purchased this to reduce dark circles and it did the total opposite after the first use. Skin was became very irritated and burned my skin off making it hard to even close my eyes. Skin irritated for 8 days and the only reason it started to heal was due to my esthetician. She provided me with treatment to help reduce the pain that I was in. Thank God I didn't have to go yo the doctor.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
