- Asked by Brit
- Official Answer By Kiehl's - BEHi there! Thanks for reaching out about your skincare routine. We always recommend caution when treating acne. To ensure compatibility, check the instructions for both the Truly Targeted Acne Patches and your Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Serum.

Amazing Product!
Don't expect this to work over night, but it does work. I didn't notice the effect it had on my skin until I saw a photo of me without from a year ago and I was amazed at how much better my skin looks (before and after photo for reference)! I'm on my second bottle so I've been using this for awhile....

So much good at Kiehl's, but not this.
I've been using Kiehl's products for a looooong time. Obviously I like a lot of them, though I've never written a review. Yes they're expensive, but if a product performs well, I'll accept the cost. I was hopeful this product would help with sunspots on my face. Probably not make them disappear, ...

At first I didnt notice a change but eventually the spots on the forehead started getting brighter
Love it.
I love the dark spot solution so far. Been using it for about 2 weeks now. The texture is smooth and lightweight.
Actually Works!
This serum works amazing for acne marks and scars! I'm usually skeptical with products that say your dark spots or scars will clear but this one actually did work!
Obsessed with this product!
I kept seeing this product all over tiktok and was hesitant to purchase mainly due to the price, but I've been using it for little under a week and my dark spots have faded drastically, I didn't expect to see a difference this early! Worth the money!
Works well but the trick is..
Apply within few minutes of washing your face. This is the first product i use. Then a moisturizing serum. If you stay consistent and take my advice, i promise your skin will glow like no other. Dark marks will fade
