Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution Review

This is the product that grabbed me for this trial. I have melasma which is dark pigment patches over my face - its not something you can cure but you can reduce pigmentation with products, good sunblock and sun protection. This product boasts it ‘visibly diminishes the number and intensity of dark spots and discoloration’ it also says it has an ingredient that helps to deter spots on your face. I’m praying this is the product can deliver! Directions for use - twice daily after cleansing the skin followed by moisturizer. The bottle itself is glass, the lid has a rubber top with a glass dropper and the liquid is clear. On first use the clear liquid looks like an oil consistency but has a cool waterbased feel and has a fresh herbal scent. I started with one drop which I felt wasnt providing much coverage added two more which was perfect. It feels luxurious to use. At first it has a tacky texture on the skin but that doesnt last long and is absorbed quickly. After two weeks of use I’ve figured out how I prefer to use this product - I wasn’t a fan for makeup days. I found my face appeared more oily and makeup didnt sit well and almost looked like it was melting off. After playing around with it I felt it suited me better to use it in the evening only on makeup days. Overall I like this product and wish I could give feedback after a month or 2 because I feel like it a long game product.

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

Having used this for just under 3 weeks I think it is working well so far, some dark spots around my hairline seem less obvious which is great . What I have found more impressive is by using this over my whole face the redness I get on my cheeks is less, my skin tone overall seems smoother, brighter and less redness. For that I would use this product again and again! I think for the pigmentation it will take longer to see any meaningful results but so far impressed

I'm in my (late) forties, and have my share of freckles, age spots and what I've been told are stress spots. I've been using this product for a couple of weeks now and I think some of the spots are fading, so I will keep using it because it feels so nice, and my skin is definitely looking a lot better. It's a clear liquid in a clear bottle with a dropper. The consistency is slightly thicker than water, so a couple of drops is more than enough for your face.

I wasn't familiar with any of the Kiehl's products before this trial started, but I think I may just have been converted. This solution is incredibly soothing and light. It has a very delicate fragrance which is not overpowering. Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution aims to reduce the appearance of dark spots and it really does make a difference. I had a couple of spots starting to appear and it reduced the discolouration. As a bonus, it also appears to have reduced the redness and rosacea in my skin. I also tried the solution on a couple of dark spots on my hands and there is a visible difference in their appearance. They are much less obvious. This is a great solution to try if you want a light and soothing product to use on your skin.

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.

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.

This is a fabulous product. If you have age spots, dark spots or just areas of discolouration you really should give this a go!

I've been using this all over at night, and in targeted spots during the day (mostly because I want it to last!) My dark spots and acne scaring (the discoloured kind, not pock marks) have already become more even to the rest of my skin tone.

This is an overall skin brightener too I think, it makes my skin glow!

I think the results for such a short amount of time are so impressive. It has been a welcome introduction to the Kiehl's range!

I was very excited about using this product as my skin experienced quite a bit of sun damage when I was younger, and combined with my age, I have very uneven skin tone and I’ve also started to acquire a few areas of darker pigmentation (age spots?).

This product has a lovely fresh smell and a more cooling sensation compared to the line-reducing concentrate.

The directions recommend that you can either use it all over your face, or as a spot treatment for specific areas. I used it all over as my skin tone is generally uneven, but then I also used it specifically on a couple of areas on my neck where I have some darker pigmentation areas.

I am delighted to say that It has definitely made a difference to my overall skin tone and it has helped reduce the darkness of the pigmentation areas on my neck. They are still there, but I'm hoping with continual usage that they will become even less visible.

This product lasts quite a while so it’s great value for money and I would definitely recommend this if you have uneven skin tone or dark areas of pigmentation you would like to visibly reduce.

The Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution comes in a beautiful glass pipette and bottle. The serum is very fluid - light and non-greasy, absorbing quickly.

I apply a few drops to the back of my hand and then use my fingers to spread it over just the areas of my face which feature dark spots from sun damage (my forehead and nose) and scarring from breakouts.

I’ve been religiously using it twice a day for the past three weeks and my expection that my dark spots would disappear completely was unrealistic –they have certainly faded a little though and my complexion is brighter. I’ve not been using a serum as part of my routine and think this product while I think it’s an important addition, at $100 for 30ml time will tell as to whether I repurchase this one.
