Most Helpful Positive Review Visible Results - Be Patience As I age I get dark spots more often, regardless of the fact I apply sunscreen several times a day.
I was skeptical about this product. I tried before with different ones and without seeing significant changes.
VISIBLE RESULTS
I started noticing improvements on my skin by day 16 by applying religiously day and night on the same spots. Just a few drops.
Do not expect to see results if you do not apply it every day. And do not expect magic one day to the other, this product has its process.
Consistency is the key here. My skin looked clean and more transparent effect. Especially under eyes and in zones I had pimples and I touch them.
PIMPLES ERASER
I'm the type of person that doesn't wait till pimples heaths by itself. I touch my face a lot, causing it damage and leaving a dark mark.
If I do it in summer, the dark spot turns more hyperpigmented and, well, takes a lot of months (and laser) to be removed. My skin tends to be getting darker easily.
Every time I touch my face and apply this product, I notice results after day 6.
CONCLUSION
Yes, it's pricey. But YES, it works. Less expensive and less painful than paying for a laser session.
This product fades my dark spots and keeps my skin tone even. it has not afragrance which I really love!
Most Helpful Critical Review It Works This product dose work. I noticed some of my black spots went away. However, it has a bit of a stickiness; therefore, I would recommend using this product as a spot treatment. After applying moisturizer just squirt a tiny bit on the dark spots. Lastly, this product seems like one of those that works the first few weeks then suddenly stops working; therefore, I don't think this is a product you should expect to add to your holy grail.

Clearly NOT Corrective Solution 3
EyesClosed from Nu'Joisy
Kiehl's is a great brand! But this product is not it. First let me start by saying the ingredients says is all. This product did absolutely nothing. All of the reviews giving this product 4-5 stars are full of it. I would like to see your before and after photos. Btw most corrective products recommend you use sunscreen this doesn't. However, it claims within the "Dark spot corrector visibly reduces a broad spectrum of dark spots including those caused by age and UV exposure."
Also the pool of test subjects is significantly small to have such high proven percentages.
"*Results based on expert grading in a 12-week clinical test on 104 subjects*"
Pleasantly Surprised 4
AMG from WA
I am currently trying this on an older dark spot to see what the effect is, but I did have one that sprung up on my cheek, and since I like to choose whether of not to wear makeup on a regular basis, I didn't want that out of display. It has almost fully faded, and I am super happy with the outcome.
Favorite Serum Ever! 5
Jackie from Los Angeles, CA
I rarely write reviews, but this stuff is amazing! I have very acne prone skin and this is the only serum to not break me out while helping with overall evening my skin tone. I have a lot of blemish dark spots and it's certainly helped even out my skin. The vitamin C in it also brightens my skin as soon as I put it on under my moisturizer.
Nope! 1
KsV from Colorado
I used Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution faithfully for a month. No difference. At all. None. Zip. I ended up seeking a high-end skin brightener at my salon. I'm Very self-conscious of the dark spot on my left cheek. Was hopeful because I love Kiehl's products. Just not this one.
Multiple uses 5
Marie from Nw
I have some hyperpigmentation on my forehead that I wanted gone. I used this and it has faded it so much that I don't notice it anymore! The other perk to this that it doesn't even claim is that it has fixed texture I was noticing on my face! I also feel like it has cleared up some dry spots I had on my cheeks. I'm pretty impressed! I use this in the morning and the daily retinol at night. I am really happy with kiehls products!
AMAZING!!! 5
Texas7888 from El Paso Texas
I started to get dark spots on my upper lip almost looking like I has a mustache growing in...eeek! Couldn't have that happening, did some research through reviews and stumbles on this bottle of LIQUID GOLD!!! I've only been using it 3 weeks and there is a dramatic difference it's amazing! I use it once in the morning and once in the evening. Not only does it reduce the color but in some areas you can't even see any dark spots. Still have a few areas that need it but even those are WAY lighter! 10/10
Doesn't Work At All 1

This product did nothing for dark spots.
Some difference in dark spots 4
Jackie F from Louisville, KY
I have two big dark spots on my face, a big blotchy one under my left eye and another smaller and lighter spot to the outside of my right eye. With constant mask-wearing, foundation has become essentially useless for me, and these have been the bane of my bare-skinned existence - and nothing has helped them thus far. I got a small bottle of this considering I was only going to use it as a spot treatment. First of all, this lasts forever if you are using it like I am. A little bit goes a long way, so I imagine it lasts a while, too, if you are using it over larger areas. After about 2 months, I have noticed some lightening of the spots. The right one is nearly invisible now, and the left one is definitely lighter, although still visible. It's easier to hide under a smaller amount of concealer, so that is a relief! I'm going to keep using it in hopes that it will continue to lighten.
literally helped my skin soooo much 5
graceloreen from davenport
this truly did help my skin really fast. i had left over acne scars from highschool that were super old and stubborn and this honestly brightened the look of them super fast and helped the redness soooo much. i LOVE kiehl's and they have helped clear my skin so much.
Wonderful Product 5
Love Kiehls from #Roc
This product is great. Works as promised on spots and blemishes.
Noticed a difference 4
Searching for the right serum from TX
I have childhood chicken pox scars that left hyperpigmentation and indentations. I used an entire bottle coupled with The Ordinary squalane oil. My skin tone is much more even. The hyperpigmentation has lessened but is still very noticeable. I was hoping for more dramatic results however; I am pleased to see some improvement.
If you are unsure... it's worth it! 4
Prettyp from San Jose ca
I've been using this product for a week and I can see a huge difference!
I love this product, it worked at the first applied. 5
Maritsa from Chicago
I use this product for small dark spot below my nose, even my moles are disappearing.
Use it as a spot corrector 5
Jey from NC
I use it as a spot corrector (to make the bottle last longer!) and this thing WORKS. I only use it at night, so the skin can absorb it better. I feel that using it during the day, with all the makeup on, its purpose would go to waste. Like 99% of all Kiehl'w products, it's a 10/10.
It works 5
Klyn from IN
I have been using this product for almost a year now. When I get out in the sun, I have a lot of dark spots on my face. It was very blotchy. This year I don't see those! I use this daily with my moisturizer. I'm 45 and my skin looks amazing!
Too expensive to not deliver ANY results 1
Hennie from South Carolina
I used entire bottle and did not notice even the slightest change of my dark spots. I feel really ripped off, but thankfully this was a gift! If your product doesn't deliver then I don't think you should charge an arm and a leg!
Worked up to a point 4
Mimi0126 from NY
Did Wonders for my hyperpigmentation (that's what I purchased it for). But while it lightened a lot it only went up to a point; I couldn't get any further lightened.
it's okay? 3
Mari from LA
I'm a third way in and it hasn't done much for me. I have oily skin and dark/red spots and they are still on my face. I went back to Murad lighting serum, MUCH BETTER, OH Keihls, I'm super upset
LOVE IT 5

I'm on my second bottle !! :) 5
Itzy from Los Angeles, CA
I got acne as an adult and developed pink/red scars as a result, even when I did not pick at my acne. I had tried treatments from brands like Dr. Dennis Gross, Skin Inc. and Drunk Elephant before...didn't work. I tried this and saw a difference after a week. Once I finished the bottle, I noticed I was receiving a lot of compliments on how clear my skin was looking. I'm now on my second bottle and I love it!
I just started using this product goes on easy . 4
Linco from Maui, Hawaii
Easy to use, my skin feels softer. Look like the dark area of my skin is slowley lighting. I like it.
Very good product with results! 5
Ashleigh from Michigan
I really like this product and this is the third time I am ordering it. I have fair skin, eventhough it is olive. For this reason, I freckle easy and get sun spots when outside fairly quickly. I used this product the first time and saw results in 5 weeks. I had two huge sun spots on my face and they are practically gone now. It does take time though so you have to be patient. I have not been dousing my face in it either. A little goes a long way!
Burned my skin 1
Shellz from Omaha
I used this product my 3x and it left burn spots where it was applied.
Didn't do much 3
By Gbb from West Covina
I had dark spot and tried many different products, so I gave this a try but I didn't seem much difference. It did help a bit but not what I expected. I guess it just didn't work for me.
