Review : Kiehl's Ultimate White Activated Whitening Moisturizer


Product Description
With a lightweight texture that dissolves quickly into skin without leaving a sticky residue.
Formulated with stabilised Vitamin C, Plum Fruit Extract and other Botanicals blended with light reflecting minerals including Mica, Titanium and Bismuth Oxychloride.
Reduces dark spots and improves skin tone and texture. Unveils a more luminous and transparent complexion.

The 1 complimentary sachet I owned was enough for many times of usages but I threw it away after 3 times. Simply because it gave me breakouts on all 3 times and I did not use it on 3 consecutive days.
The breakouts simply turned up the following morning on all 3 times.

That said, it does smell nice and the texture is pretty fluid. However, as with all whitening products, it just does not hydrate my skin sufficiently.

i believe the main culprit are Potassium Hydroxide (PH) and Limonene, Linalool mainly.

the PH is a form of pH adjuster it runs the risk of being skin irritant too. it's rather toxic as well so avoid that by all means.

whereas the Limonene and linalool
are a type of perfume scent ingredient from citrus fruit and is highly irritating for your sensitive skin.

do also take to avoid these 2 common ingredients in your skincare e.g. Phenoxyethanol; preservative, very skin irritant
and also Benzyl Alcohol;
preservative, solvent, viscosity decreasing agent

just to share with you. i know sensitive skin needs extra care and caution coz i have sensitive skin too and i take note of the ingredients so just to share with you.

Hi Tiffany,
Thanks so much for the alert.
Yes, PH could be one of the causes though Skin Deep only rate it as a low hazard of 1
Limonene has a higher hazard of 6 and Linalool with hazard of 4.
Thanks alot for your thoughtfulness, I have to be careful of what you have mentioned.
