Frequently Asked Questions
What are some common skin stressors and how do they accelerate signs of aging?
Skin faces constant assault from environmental stressors. These stressors appear in many forms that are both external and internal, and not always visible. Pollution, smoke and sun exposure are ever present in the urban environments many of us live in, along with external and internal stress - which may be short- or long-lived. The effects can leave skin looking dull with transient surface textural changes. The constant assault is an important emerging external aging factor and requires attention similar to that of UV-induced damage.
What can happen to skin stressed from its environment?
Environmentally stressed skin can appear in different ways depending on the source of stress, yet share a common cause of damage – free radical damage and a compromised skin barrier. For example, a dry environment can dehydrate skin leaving it lacking moisture and dull looking. Exposure to a poorly ventilated environment, such as a subway station, can increase oxidative break down of skin lipids sebum at the skin surface because of exposure to pollutants from train exhaust. That is why we tested Vital Skin-Strengthening Super Serum in polluted cities in Europe and Asia to help support its skin strengthening, anti-oxidant properties, and its stress fighting benefits in challenging urban environments.
What are adaptogens?
In traditional medicine practices across different cultures, adaptogenic botanicals have been used to treat fatigue and stress, including skin conditions. These plants produce naturally occurring molecules called adaptogens, which can help the skin defend itself against stressors and to maintain its health and balance. When the skin is in a normal or unchallenged state, adaptogens remain inactive and do not interfere with normal skin function. However, when skin is challenged by stressors, adaptogens activate and work to fight stressors, helping return skin to a healthy and youthful state.
How does this hyaluronic acid serum make skin feel stronger?
Super Serum helps skin to feel stronger by improving our four defined clinical dimensions of skin strength. Through our clinical research and experience evaluating skin, we have observed skin that is vulnerable can be less resilient and bouncy, with a compromised barrier. Based on these observations, we defined stronger feeling skin to be supple, resilient, plump, and having a strong skin barrier; and tested Super Serum with a specially developed clinical index based on a composite, average score of three clinically graded parameters; plumpness, suppleness and resilience. The visible skin benefits of Super Serum, with 11 kDa Hyaluronic Acid and our adaptogenic herbal complex, are driven by our biocompatible formula and its strengthening hydrating action and antioxidant properties.
How long does it take for this hyaluronic acid serum to work?
Using Super Serum, upon immediate application skin will feel smoother and supple. Over time, skin will feel more resilient to daily life stressors and look healthier and youthful as fine lines, texture, and radiance visibly improve. In fact, after two weeks of use, consumers reported that their skin felt firmer and more resilient to daily life stressors.
Where and how can I incorporate this hyualruonic acid serum into my skincare routine?
Considering the lightweight and easily absorbed nature of Super Serum, it can be incorporated into your morning and nighttime routines. Use after cleansing and toning skin and before your favorite moisturizer. For days when your skin needs a little more care, layer it underneath your serum as a pre-serum before applying moisturizer.

WOWO !
I use this product every other night and I absolutely love this product. It has an earthy smell to it which I find quite refreshing because it helps calms me down after a stressful day. But also, within a few uses, I saw a difference in my skin. It looked brighter and people complimented me because my skin looked good !

Pricey
While the serum is supposed to help reduce the look of fine line and aging I dont think It did any of that. I did notice however it kept my skin hydrated. Ive never used a serum before but I think Im going to look into a less expensive one. This is my first kiehls product and I am interested in trying more from them. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous!

Go Kiehls! Go Kiehls! Go Kiehls!
Okay, okay, okay! So, im honest I didnt know this product existed. Im glad it does though! Because I couldnt have received it at a better time. This quarantine has my skin horrible/hate it. But, its pretty popping yall, I do recommend it. BIG TIME! It help hydrate so you wont look dry. And it gives you a boost so that your skin glows the proper amount. Because we dont want to look greasy or sweaty. It also helps under eye puffiness so you still look refreshed and like youve been sleeping even if you havent. So if youve been considering this give it a whirl. You wont regret it!

it’s okay
I did receive this product from Influenster and I was very excited to try it out. I started looking into the ingredients a bit more and I wasnt fond of the fact that it did have essential oils in it. I have sensitive skin and essential oils can aggravate it. However, I did notice that my skin is more hydrated and the texture has improved some. It is expensive and Im not sure if I would purchase this again because I know there are other products that do the same thing with better ingredients.

Skin improvements after using
I havent really used a serum consistently before, but Ive added it to my daily routine before moisturizer for the last couple of weeks, and it really has the effect of making the skin softer and more hydrated!

Can you compare this product to the vitamin C serum?
The Kiehl's customer service rep failed to answer the question. Comparing the main active ingredient is something that anyone could look up. But I want to know what is the difference in using the products? As in for what benefits do each product have? Because I currently use the VC serum am I am considering switching to this product; however, I do not know what the benefits of this are over the other to make such a switch. In other words, tell me what the actually differences are in the benefits of using such a product. Don't just tell me the ingredients
