Advanced epidermal skin-texturizing treatment with a highly effective abrading quality on the skins surface.
As skin is re-texturized, Kiehl's formula helps to facilitate the absorption of topical skin treatments to maximize their efficacy. This polishing cream is formulated with "diatomaceous earth"- crushed microcells derived from ocean sand - as well as a powerful ingredient used by dermatologists to perform micro-dermabrasion procedures.
Smooths skin and helps to visibly minimize discolorations and small marks on face, hands, and décolleté.
Reduces pore size and soothes skin.

Micronized Shells: Natural silica powder from diatoms, tiny algae, used as a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells from the surface.
Shea Butter: Commonly found in lotions and cleansers, it hydrates, prevents dehydration, restores suppleness, and enhances the appearance of dry skin.
Willow Herb: Known for its antimicrobial and soothing properties, it benefits the skin.
Dispense a nickel-sized amount into the palm of your hand.
Apply gently to clean, damp skin in an upward and outward circular motion, avoiding the eye area.
For targeted body areas (hands, elbows, back, decollete), apply in a similar fashion.
Continue treatment for approximately 30 seconds, but no more than two minutes.
You can increase pressure slightly to enhance results, but monitor skin sensitivity closely.
