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.
