What Is Peony Root Extract?

Known in Traditional Chinese medicine as the "king of flowers", Peony Root Extract is a natural antioxidant often found within skincare formulas, known to help brighten the complexion.

What Are The Benefits Of Skincare Infused With Peony Root Extract?

Peony Root Extract is a natural antioxidant known to help boost skin clarity. Over time, the appearance of our complexion diminishes—age spots increase and the production of natural oils decreases making skin visibly duller and drier. When uniquely formulated with Activated C (a powerful fast-acting Vitamin C derivative) and White Birch, Peony Root Extract works synergistically in our skincare formulas to help correct skin’s surface for visibly brighter, more radiant looking skin.

Kiehl’s & Peony Root Extract

At Kiehl’s, our Peony Root Extract is carefully sourced from China where it is extracted from the outer covering of the root bark of the Paeonia lactiflora plant, a popular species of herbaceous peonies with blooming flowers.
