The Kiehl’s concentrates are potent set of serums that target specific skin concerns. The Kiehl's Powerful Strength Line-Reducer helps to reduce the
appearance of fine lines... Put simply, a lightweight serum containing stabilised
10.5% pure Vitamin C, that gives skin a real zing!
Most damage to skin is caused by oxidative damage. You can protect your skin from this oxidative
damage with antioxidants. Vitamin C, when correctly stabilised, is one of the most powerful antioxidants.
And the whooping 10.5% Vitamin C in this concentrate is as powerful as retinol.
The Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate is potent concoction
that contains:
- Glycerin ~ is a by-product of soap manufacturing and is a clear, syrupy liquid, usually derived from vegetable oil and obtained by adding alkalies to fats and fixed oils. It is a solvent humectant and emollient in many skin care products, as it absorbs moisture from the air and thereby helps products retain their moisture. It improves the spreadability of products and has definite skin moisturizing benefits.
- Propylene Glycol ~ is a common moisture carrying ingredient in skin care. It acts as a humectant by absorbing water from the air.
- Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) ~ is known for its affinity with skin and its powerful ability to improve the appearance of skin aging. 10.5% of Pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) is the key ingredient in the Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate.
Bottom line does it work? I’m in my early twenties, so I can’t really give an accurate review on its line reducing properties. The main reason I got this was for the secondary effects of Vitamin C, its extraordinary skin brightening properties, breaking down surface pigmentation. I have seen a huge improvement in acne scarring in just a week’s use of the Line Reducing Concentrate. Furthermore, I have absolutely noticed that my complexion is more even! And let’s not forget to mention, that it feels amazing on the skin. It has a strange texture, kind of a gloopy white serum with grains in it which heats up when applied to the skin. Whatever its texture, the Line Reducing Concentrate sinks in and disappears into my skin without a trace. But you get over its unusual texture when you see it astounding results.
I think this a perfect serum if you are looking to tackle early signs of ageing or to finally banish pigmentation and acne scarring then the Kiehls Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate is definitely worth checking out.

*I would actually recommend phoning the Kiehl’s store, as they give out free samples – I received 2 deluxe samples (1 was actually a sample of the Line Reducing Concentrate, saving for holidays!) and 5 small sachet samples. Plus they offer free postage*
