Did nothing

I used this every single day, and used an entire bottle. Never skipped a day. I saw NO differences in my dark spots and melasma after months of daily use...waste of money!

Meh

Made me breakout around my mouth. I was kinda glad I spilled half the bottle so I can finish it off sooner because I feel bad not using such an expensive product. Didn’t help much with my dark spots.

The holy grail and sure to grab a new one

After consistent use, I noticed my skin looked brighter and more even overall. It helped fade some of my newer post-acne marks and gave my skin a healthier glow over time. I also liked that it layered well with the rest of my skincare and didn’t irritate my sensitive skin

broke me out

Enjoyed it at first but when it made me breakout really badly around my mouth. I don’t typically break out when I try new products

Visible Results — My Dark Spots Are Finally Fading

I’ve been using the Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution for a while now, and it has truly made a difference in my skin! My dark spots have noticeably faded, and my complexion looks brighter and more even overall. I started with the smaller bottle to test it out, but I loved the results so much that I went ahead and bought the big one! Definitely a staple in my skincare routine now.

A must have!

After using this product in a while, I noticed significant improvement of my skin in terms of luminosity and a slight reduction of dark spots. Using it in combination of other ultra facial hydrating line coz I have a really dry skin

try something else

I tried this after reading so many good reviews, but I've been using this night and day for almost 2 months and noticed No Change at all. i have a few age spots and darker areas from old acne scars. neither reduced even a bit. i also tried some areas on my hands just as many times. no change there, either. i always wash my fave first and kight Exfoliate for better absoprtion. it has done NOTHING FOR DARK SPOTS.
