This serum helps reduce my dark spots. I struggle with redness and dark spots and I swear by this product. The smell is also not overwhelming but very clean.

I’ve been using this serum for a month and noticed a visible difference. My dark spots from acne started fading, and my skin looks more even and radiant. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky. It has a very mild scent that doesn’t irritate. Works great when used at night with a good moisturizer.
Okay

Packaging okay. Unsure of the effectiveness. I don’t have dark spots but i think it’s supposed to brighten as well. The scent is alright. It’s not terribly expensive. The texture is decent I guess.

I’ve been using Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution for about 6 weeks now, and I’ve noticed a visible improvement in the appearance of my dark spots and uneven skin tone. The serum has a lightweight texture, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky on the skin. I have sensitive skin, but this product didn’t cause any irritation or breakouts. The scent is very mild and pleasant. I especially appreciate the dropper packaging which makes application easy and hygienic. With consistent use, my complexion looks brighter and more even.
It really works!

Really works! I have the most sensitive skin and pores that get clogged very easily. This can be applied with little to no irritation and is tolerated very well on my skin. The smell is very nice and it dries and doesn't feel sticky. my skin soaks this up! I has hesitant to try it but im glad i did.
Actually works

A gentle yet effective daily serum for brightening and evening skin tone. It works best when paired with sunscreen and used consistently. While not a miracle overnight fix, it’s a solid choice for long-term spot correction with minimal irritation. Fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested.
Go to to brighten up!

Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution is the real deal. I’ve been using it consistently and have already noticed a visible difference in the tone and clarity of my skin. A few stubborn dark spots from past breakouts have started to fade, and my overall complexion looks more even and glowy.

Have been using as directed for a little over 3 months and have not seen much of a difference. LOVE that the product does well on my hyper-sensitive skin, but did not care for the results or lack thereof. Also leaves a sticky residue on my face that my daughter would tease me for because I wouldn’t let anything touch my face after applying. Worth a try if you’re considering buying, but overall not obsessed with my experience. Probably won’t buy this again.

I love the serum. Definitely is effective and works. It’s a smooth texture goes on easily absorbs. There isn’t really much of a scent which I appreciate. Also a little goes a long way.
Great product

I started getting this product for a year ago. It was getting to point that it was even showing through makeup if I tried to layer or use a full coverage. The serum itself is lightweight and absorbs quickly. I've noticed a significant improvement in skin brightness and an overall more even tone. The scent is pleasant not overpowering. So far it's been great on my face.
Great result and love the lightweight texture

I purchased this for my mother in law and she absolutely loves it. She has been using Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution for a while now, and the results have been amazing for her. She said that her skin looks brighter, more even-toned, and some of her dark spots have visibly faded. The serum absorbs quickly, feels lightweight, and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. The price is definitely not budget friendly, but for my mother in law it is worth the price.
Nice

I’ve tried many products to fade dark spots from acne and sun exposure, but the Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution is the one I keep coming back to. The formula is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and layers beautifully under other skincare and makeup. My skin started looking more even and radiant after about 2 weeks. What makes this product feel even more premium is the packaging — it comes in a sleek, clear glass bottle with a dropper, which makes application easy and mess-free. It feels luxurious on my shelf and in my hands. As for the scent, it’s very mild and clean — almost unnoticeable, which I really appreciate since my skin is sensitive to strong fragrances. It’s perfect for people who prefer fragrance-free or low-scent skincare. What I love the most is that it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all. I use it morning and night before my moisturizer, and it’s officially a staple in my skincare routine now. 💡 Pro tip: Always follow with SPF during the day to protect your results!
