It Works!
I have used MANY dark spot correctors, but this is the only one that works for me. I use it on my face and the back of my hands and forearms and I have had noticeable improvement of my hyperpigmented spots. Of course, I always use sunscreen on my face and back of hands and forearms.

Great skin correcting oil
I use the serum a couple types of week. I’ve noticed the lightning on some of the dark spots on my face. The serum seems into the skin well and doesn’t feel oily.

Does not really work for me
I love Kirhl’s products. I have several from their line. This is the first one that I actually find not working for me at all. I am on my second bottle. I’ve been using it for months now, and I cannot see any difference in my dark spots. Keep in mind mine are very light but still I did not notice any difference.

Love it
Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution is a lightweight, watery serum that helps brighten overall skin tone and fade mild discoloration, especially post‑acne marks. It is generally gentle and layers well, but deeper, older sun spots or freckles often show only modest improvement, so results can be subtle and slow. It suits most skin types, but works best when used consistently with daily sunscreen and realistic expectations.

Doesn’t work.
I agree with those who say it doesn’t work, because it truly does not. I have been using this product since April 2025, twice daily, 7 days per week and have seen ZERO improvement. I have even applied this product on a very small blemish spot and no difference. It may work for you, but as a melenated woman, this product did not work for me.

this serum helps me a lot for my smooth skin
Using the Kiehl’s Corrective Serum feels like a moment of gentle care for my skin every time I apply it. The lightweight serum absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling refreshed without any heaviness or greasiness. I appreciate how subtle it is, yet it gives a sense of long-term nourishment and correction — like I’m tapping into my skin’s potential to look more even, calm, and healthy over time. There’s a quiet confidence in knowing I’m giving my skin support, which makes the small ritual feel meaningful. Overall, it feels like a soothing, trustworthy foundation for better skin health that gradually builds up to visible results.

This product worked as expected
I am buying my second bottle as the first one did not do miracles, as I don't think any product would do, but it did lighten up most of my dark spots. I have one spot that no matter what I do, short of a laser treatment, it will not change. This is based on a few consultations with medical professionals and estheticians. So, I think it is a good product.

My Go-To Brightening Serum
I’ve been using Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Serum for three years, and it’s one of my favorite products. It keeps my skin bright and hydrated. The formula is lightweight and effectively reduces my dark spots — even the older ones. Highly recommended!
