Holding out for a Result

I'm struggling to fairly review the Kiehls Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution as I feel this is a product that needs a good amount of time to form an overall opinion about its effectiveness as a dark spot corrector. However, there is still much to love. I love the clear glass bottle with glass dropper. I love the freshness of the fragrance. I love the silky texture of the solution. The Kiehls Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution states that it will help visibly brighten skin and diminish the number and intensity of dark spots and skin discolourations over time. Does it do this? Yes and currently no! My skin is visibly brighter, but this could also be attributed to the other Kiehls products in this trial. I have dark spots from sun damage and they have not changed since starting the trial, but I've only been using the product for two weeks so I would like to reserve judgment on the dark spot corrective aspect of this product. I'll continue using the product until finished and do a further review on my dark spot situation.

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!

Little bit Luxe...

Everyone knows about the perils of the sun here in Aotearoa and despite how vigilant I've been with sunscreen in recent years, I still have dark spots popping up on my cheeks. I've tried one or two creams in the past to combat them but nothing's made a noticeable difference. Needless to say, I had high hopes for this one!

I immediately liked the packaging, the clear glass bottle with dropper lid, feels and looks top shelf. The glass dropper funnels into a narrow point and the sturdy rubber dropper gives you plenty of control.

The consistently of the solution is more substantial than it looks, it's not thin and watery, but will go where you want it to. It left my skin feeling immediately smooth and it has a nice matte finish to it (probably the glycerin). The fragrance is strong so keep try before you buy if you're sensitive.

I applied this morning and night, prior to my moisturiser, each day for the duration of the trial. I could see an improvement in the clarity of my skin overall, and while I didn't notice a significant difference to some of the larger dark spots, some of the more subtle ones seem to be gradually fading. I'm very interested to see what happens if I continue to use this for a longer period of time. I'd love to see some of the darker and more noticeable sun spots on my cheeks disappear... if that happens I'll be purchasing for life!

Tips: If you're using this during summer, you'll have to avoid any and all sun exposure or those dark spots won't budge!

Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution

I have been using this for 3 weeks along with 2 other products from Kiehl's, morning and night and have noticed my skin looks more healthy and glowing! To be fair I want to give this more time to see full benefits because I have only used less then a quarter of the bottle and that's twice a day for 3 weeks. So this will last 6 months at least. It has a oil consistency but doesn't feel heavy and has not broken me out! It comes in a glass bottle with one of those applicators where you have to squeeze the top and it drips out. Very happy, I have never tried this brand and now it is one of my favs. Thanks BR

Kiehl’s Corrective Dark Spot Solution

The Keihl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution contains Activated vitamin C, White Birch Extract and Peony Extract, all of which work together to correct dark spots and even skin tone. The product comes in the usual white Kiehl’s packaging with ingredient details and usage directions written clearly on the box. The solution itself comes in a transparent glass bottle which is surprising as vitamin C is susceptible to light. Full marks though for having a dropper thus making the procedure more hygienic and practical. The lotion is very lightweight, silky in texture and has a very subtle scent which doesn’t linger past initial application. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly. I really like that it doesn’t leave residual effects on my skin after application but dries quickly and cleanly. It didn’t cause any adverse reactions possibly because its fragrance, silicon and paraben free. I use 2 - 3 drops in the morning and night all over my face before applying serum and moisturiser. A little goes a long way. It is easy to apply and feels quite refreshing on my face. My complexion is brighter with a significant improvement in radiance. Overall it looks healthier and far less sallow and tired. My winter dry skin patches have become more hydrated. The product details advise that it takes about 28 days of continuous use before the ingredients are able to break down the melanin deposits in pigmentation and to lighten the dark spots. I have been using this now for 20 days. I feel my skin is starting to show improvement in skin tone but my dark spots which are quite dark, are still there though fractionally lighter. To be fair there hasn’t been enough time to produce those types of results. I am really pleased I trialled this and will continue to purchase.

Tips: Keep bottle in original box to inhibit light affecting the vitamin C.

My skin loves this!

This kiehl's Dark Spot Solution is absolutely fantastic. It comes in a glass dropper bottle. The texture light and only a couple of drops is all that's needed. It is clear in colour and the fragrance is not too overpowering. It suits beautifully on my skin but yet absorbs without feeling oily. It claims to visibly diminish dark spots with continuous use, I am excited to see how well it does this. The ingredients are Activated Vit C, whits Birch, and Peony Extract. I've been applying it over my whole face but have also focused on areas that have discoloration. I would definitely repurchase this as my skin feels so nice after using it. For how little you use, the bottle will last a long time so would be value for money.

Tips: You only need a couple of drops.

Game Changer for Dark Spots and Marks!

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!

Hello Even Skin Tone

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.

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.

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
