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, ...

I enjoyed trying this serum out on some of my darker areas on my face. I felt like, after using for about a month, that it did in fact help with lightening of certain areas. I used this product as recommended and felt that it also added a bit of hydration to my routine.
Love how it feels on my skin!

I have been using Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution for about 2 weeks. I love how it feels when putting it on my face. It's smooth, not sticky, and makes my face feel hydrated. I am almost 50yrs old with sun damaged skin/age spots and while they didn't disappear they've definitely lightened. I've also noticed that the overall tone of my skin looks brighter and healthier. Using a few drops when applying the solution goes a long way so this bottle will also last a long time. I will be continuing to use this solution and highly recommend it.
