Amazing

So good at brightening and clarifying my skin. I have had some stubborn dark marks and that has helped lighten them so much. My skin texture feels smoother and less bumpy the longer I use it!

Effective production

This product has lightened my dark spots from sun damage a few shades! It feels light on my face too! The scent is a nice fresh fragrance that doesn’t bother me.

Effective

The Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution really helps brighten the skin and fade dark spots over time. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers well under moisturizer or sunscreen. With consistent use, my skin tone looks more even and radiant. It’s definitely a gentle yet effective serum for hyperpigmentation.

Very good at lightening pigmentation but be carefu

Takes your skin a little getting used to as it is very strong but it is very effective at reducing hyperpigmentation. Within 2 weeks i saw a big difference in the lightening of dark patches on my face so would highly recommend

Didn’t work & too much expensive product

I’m used this product almost 4 months & also I spend to much money on it. I didn’t felt any dark spots going anywhere. It’s not worth the money sorry please.

The serum that actually makes a visible difference

The packaging is sleek and hygienic, with a dropper that lets me control how much product I use without any waste. The texture is lightweight and fast-absorbing, making it easy to layer under my moisturizer and makeup. I love how gentle it feels on my skin, with no irritation or sticky residue. Over time, I’ve noticed a visible reduction in dark spots and an overall brighter, more even complexion. What I love most is how effective it feels while remaining soothing. My skin looks healthier, radiant, and more balanced, and I feel confident even without makeup. It’s definitely a product I trust for long term improvement in skin tone and clarity. This serum is effective, gentle, and a must-have for anyone wanting a brighter, more even complexion
