Didn't work for me

Quite expensive and not effective for me. I gave it a really good try but didn't see any difference at all with pigmentation areas that were a problem for me. I'm getting much better results from microdermabrasion and dermarolling.

No fading yet

This solution was very easy to apply thanks to the dropper bottle. It lets you be precise with how much you need and I used a drop for my forehead and a drop for my chin. With the 30ml bottle, this would last me a long time. The consistency is watery and it spreads well and absorbs quickly.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen any difference in my dark spots yet after using this solution for 3 weeks. I am going to continue using it as I think it may need more time to show results, but at the moment I could not recommend this yet. Unless I see good results with long term use, I wouldn't consider replacing it as it is a pricey product.

#2 product in my new Kiehl's skincare routine

I have been using this treatment twice a day once I have applied my Kiehl's Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate. I definitley feel the "zing" after application. It feels great and goes on like a dream...so easy to apply with the dropper. I think my skin does look brighter but its too early to tell whether my dark spots have improved or not. I've been using it on my decolettage and also the back of my hands. I look forward to seeing results after a few more weeks of use.

Tips: PLEASE remember to use sunscreen with this product.

ARE you working!?

i got a wee kit and this was in it and man. i wanna love it but i dont know!?!?

its a clear serum and you apply to well dark spots or pigmentation or whatever. ive been using it on freckles to try and fade them and on my dark knees because theyre a sensitive subject for me lol.

however im not really noticing any difference. the shoulder freckles kinda look like theyre going away but it is summer and even with sunblock they just seem to breed. my knees looked brighter for a while but then i went out to garden and they just went dark again so I DONT KNOW.

however its a lovely serum on the face, and i HAVE noticed it clearing up random little spots there, so it does work.. sometimes! smells great too. id buy it again just to get longer results.

Kiehl's Corrective Dark Spot Solution

This product is presented in a clear glass bottle with a dropper. Good quality packaging with a clear liquid within. Once applied the product gets soaked up into the skin quite easily.

Love the fact the product doesn't have a strong smell and that its not oily or drying once applied. I have not yet seen much of a difference in the dark spots on my skin. Might need to use a little while longer

Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution

This is an ok product; it comes in a 30ml clear dropper pipette style bottle. The solution is a clear liquid, quite runny. It has a very soft but sharp scent to it (but is listed as fragrance free) Things to note – it is oil free, sulphate free, paraben free. You don’t need to apply much as the serum spreads easily and is not sticky, you could always use this on your neck/hands/arms. I have olive skin and no freckles and have been using on my face as I have a dark sunspot and it has reduced ever so slightly, so hopefully with continued use it starts to fade over time, but if you want instant results then I'd suggest something else.

Tips: give this product time to work!

Too soon to tell...but looks promising

I was so excited to try this product as my face has some pronounced sun discolouration on my nose and some pregnancy related hyperpigmentation. The solution comes in an easy to use bottle with dropper application.  I spray my face with a face mist prior to use as I find it helps with spreadability and absorbency. This product may be pricey but a little bit really does go a LONG way. 1-2 small drops would cover my entire face, neck and décolletage. It has a gel like consistency and is quite hydrating and certainly not greasy in any way. In the short time that I've been using this (twice a day for two weeks) I haven't seen much change to my pigmentation however I'm going to persevere as I've read good things online about the results after regular use for a couple of months.

Tips: Spray with a facial mist before use to help make a little go a long way. Use in conjunction with your regular beauty regime - I apply before serums/moisturiser for an initial hydrating booster.

Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution

I have quite a few spots so was quite excited to trial this. This product claims to help correct dark spots and discolorations for visible correction and clarify. It's a light oil in a glass bottle with glass dropper. 2 drops is sufficient to do the whole face, or less if you just want to target certain spots. I chose to apply to my whole face and some spots under my jaw. The oil is quick to apply and doesn't leave an oily residue. It has a faint citrus scent which is quite pleasant. While I have only been using this for nearly 3 weeks I have now noticed some spots are not as dark as they were, so continued use will hopefully result in more fading.

Tips: You only need a 2 drops to do your whole face!

Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution

I love the glass bottle and the dropper, makes it looks posh and easy to use.

The product is a light serum type with a refreshing fruity scent. A tad sticky when first applied, as in it doesn't glide, but disappears to the skin very quickly. Moisturiser goes on top of it easily and doesn't make my foundation balls.

I have mixed feelings about this product as I suspect it's causing pimples to appear on the area I applied it to.

I can't tell any difference to my dark spots yet, I think it needs to be used longer before I can tell if it's making any difference.

Would definitely keep on using it to see whether it works.

The price is OK considering the amount of product you get in the bottle. The glass packaging alone is worth paying more for. It's more affordable than similar serums I've used in the past.

Evens out skin tone gradually

I have quite a pigmented forehead and some acne scarring so I purchased this a year or so ago and probably used it every other day for about a month but didn't see much results so stopped reaching for it. I decided to give it another go last summer due to worsening pigmentation and used it morning and night religiously for about 2-3 months before I saw some really good results. I've repurchased this once but probably won't again as it is quite expensive and most of my scars and pigmentation has evened out now. Nice to layer with other face products and absorbs into the skin quickly

Tips: Use twice daily for 2+ months, need to be consistent with it to see results. If possible use after cleansing/toning and before essence, serum and moisturiser.
