Great serum

First time ever disappointed by Clarin product
I can honestly say this is the first time I have been disappointed with a Clarins product. But, I have only been using for a week, so I'm going to keep using it for awhile longer. I find it drying and does nothing for my dark spots. But, I'm going to keep hoping!

Beware the fragrance
Received a mini of this in a set and wanted to love it. Feels great on your skin, but its like im wearing perfume just from smelling it on my face. Absolutely cannot handle the strong smell. Hoped it could help some melasma but will never know.
Lightweight Serum!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This serum was lightweight and absorbed quickly, without leaving a sticky feeling on my skin. The serum also didn't look too dewy, it almost left me with a matte finish, which typically doesn't happen with serum; I loved it! There is a slight fragrance to it but I didn't mind (and typically I am sensitive to anything with a strong fragrance!) overall, after a few weeks of use, I think this has been effective!

Effective
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the Clarins Dark Spot Targeting Serum for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed with the results so far. My skin tone looks more even, and some of the darker spots from past breakouts and sun exposure have started to fade noticeably. It has a lightweight, silky texture that absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, and it layers well with my other skincare products. The scent is light and pleasant—typical of Clarins products—and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin, which is a big plus. I appreciate that it's plant-based and formulated with ingredients like acerola and organic sea lily, which feel gentle yet effective. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the price point—it's definitely on the higher end. But if you're looking for a high-quality serum that actually targets dark spots and brightens your complexion, this is a great investment.
