This works for me!

I was really surprised by the results I have had from this serum. I had read a few reviews before purchasing, and some looked mixed. However, after two weeks of use I could tell this serum had faded some of my pigmentation (sun damage). I have a big patch of dark pigmentation that my gp told me I could try IPL for, but that is outside my budget at the moment as he recommended a few sessions. After two weeks, I could see that the edges of this particular patch have faded, leaving the more defined but smaller bits in the middle. The rest of my face looks alot brighter too. I used it most mornings and nights, and have loved the results so much that I have repurchased. I wouldnt say that my pigmentation will completely dissapear, I have alot due to being a sunloving kid in the 80s and 90s.

The serum has a lovely lavender scent, and is nice and light to apply. I enjoy using the product, and even though it is probably the most expensive skin care item I have bought, for me it is worth it.

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.

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.

Works, but slowly

As a South Indian melanin queen I have a LOT of dark pigmentation spots on my face that I'm quite conscious of. I think this stuff works but slowly and it's way more expensive compared to at least one other product I've tried. Having said that, it does feel quite luxurious to be using a branded product that you know works and a little does go a long way - two drops is enough to cover my entire face and not sparingly. I use it at night only because I know a lot of brightening products make your skin susceptible to sunburn, so maybe people who use it twice daily get quicker results. I like that it's a lightweight non-greasy formula.

Nice Serum

I received this in a free gift with purchase from Farmers and was happy to try it as I have a few dark spots on back of hands and face. It is a clear slightly sticky solution in a clear glass container with a dropper on top. Easy to apply with the dropper and smells nice. I have noticed my dark spots have faded slightly on hands and face. Will try it on dark patches on my knees. Just dot it all over face with the dropper and massage into skin. Quite pricey for a small bottle but will last a long time. My skin on face looks a bit brighter which is a bonus. Would recommend for anyone who wants a brighter, less patchy complexion.

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.

Fades pigment scars

I don’t have any sunspots but this product works well to fade acne pigment scars for me! I use this all over the face once a week for the brightening, and as a spot treatment when I have scarring as it Speeds up the process of fading for me. Product is easy to use with the droplet tube, but feels sticky on the skin so I always follow with a moisturiser.

Even Skin

This is a very cool product that looks simple, but does great things.

I wasn't always the best at applying sunscreen and unfortunately it shows with sunspots and areas of darker pigmentation.

It's easy to use and soaks into the skin beautifully. I've been using it all over, but you can use on specific places if you prefer. I found I started to see results into the second week of twice daily use - pretty amazing really.

It's a great price and coming from a brand like Kiehl's I trust packed full of good stuff and quality ingredients.

Loving it!

Tips: You can use this on your body too, I've been using it on my hands!

Magic in a bottle

I was extremely excited to be given the opportunity to review this product as I have problem skin - scars, pigmentation and dark spots galore!

I used Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution twice a day after cleansing my face and before moisturising. At first I wasn’t exactly sure how to best use this product - all over or just on the problem areas so I tried both. I found for me, the best course of action was to apply sparingly to my trouble areas. It took a few days for me to notice any difference but when I did WOW!

My skin felt and looked much more healthy, and my dark spots had definitely faded!

This product comes in a clear glass bottle, with a dropper making it super easy to use. A little goes a long way so it’s extremely value for money!

Still waiting for dramatic results

Of all the kiehls products I’ve tried this is my most “mehhhh” it’s a great moisturising serum and feels fantastic on the skin, and is absorbed easily. I’m not sold that it corrects dark spots. I don’t have a huge amount of pigmentation and few acne scars that need lightening. I’d say as a serum it’s fantastic as a corrector for me not so much but in saying that if I had bad pigmentation I’d certainly look to a product as hydrating as this to Correct
