Impressive

I’ve been using Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution for about a month now, and I’m really pleased with the results. My hyperpigmented spots have noticeably lightened, and my skin tone looks more even overall. The serum feels lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer under moisturizer or sunscreen. While it’s still early, I’m happy with the improvement so far and plan to keep using it to see even more progress.

Effective and strong

My acne mark usually takes 14 days to fade with Mederma, but this dark spot solution got my acne mark faded in a week. It’s pretty effective. The texture is smooth.

Lightweight and effective — it fades dark spots an

I’ve been using the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Serum for a few weeks and I can really see a difference! My dark spots have started to fade, and my skin tone looks more even and radiant. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky feeling. I love that it layers well with my moisturizer and sunscreen too. Definitely a great product if you’re looking to brighten your complexion and reduce discoloration! 🌿✨

Nice to apply but ?effective

Good texture, no strong smell. Easy to apply and fistribute to skin, no irritation noted at any point. However, despite frequent use, no results have been seen in stubborn dark spots like melasma.

Hello there! Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the texture and gentle feel of the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Serum.

I’ve been using Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution for a few weeks, and I really like how lightweight and fast-absorbing it is. It brightens my skin tone and gives me a healthy glow, though it takes consistent use to see noticeable fading of dark spots. It’s gentle and doesn’t irritate my skin, which is a big plus.

It’s kinda expensive, but worth the price!!

This is one of my favorite serums. I love it so much because it really helped fade my dark spots after just two weeks. It’s kind of expensive, but honestly, it’s worth the price. I use it every night before bed, and it absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. In the morning, I always make sure to apply sunscreen to protect my skin. The combination works so well for brightening and keeping my skin even-toned. My complexion looks much clearer and more radiant since I started using it.

💧 Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution –

The Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution has become a staple in my skincare routine. The formula is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-sticky, which makes it perfect for both day and night use. I’ve been using it consistently, and I noticed my dark spots and post-acne marks gradually fading, leaving my skin looking brighter and more even. It’s gentle enough for my sensitive, fair skin, and I love that it doesn’t sting or cause redness like some serums do. My skin feels smoother and looks more radiant overall — it gives that “healthy glow” even without makeup.
