PROS:
1. Quality - The serum feels smooth and rich on the skin, and it's easily absorbed without resulting in too much weird residual feeling (note: as a newbie to retinol, there might be a temporary tingling effect after first use).
2. Effectiveness - After months of consistent usage, I've definitely experienced a noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture. I would NOT say that it's a big improvement; but it's noticeable.
3. Gentle - This serum, true to it's "micro-dose" marketing, was gentle on my skin. I didn't experience any significant negative skin reaction, which may sometimes occur with stronger dose retinols.
CONS:
1. Weak formulation - It's marketed as a "micro-dose" serum, so right there you know that this is NOT a strong retinol product. This means that it might not be as effective as other products on the market; although as I said it also means that its gentle on the skin. So there's a trade-off with this product.
2. Transparency - One thing I definitely did not like is that Kiehl's did not boldly and prominently state on the packaging how much retinol is in the product. I've looked on the packaging (both bottle and box) and I still don't see where the percentage or quantity of retinol in the product is clearly stated. While it's possibly stated in some microscopic print, I think that they could be more upfront about that.
3. Cost - I paid around $57 for this on Amazon, and based on all that I've said above, I do NOT think that I got real value for money. I see today that there's a significant discount, so it's retailing for under $40 at the time of this review. The lower price better reflects the value. Ultimately, I'd still recommend as a starter retinol for newbies, but only if the price remains no where near what I paid for it.
