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 love that this product goes on nice and smooth and doesn't leave a sticky residue. I wish that it was magic and I'd get results right away but with any this type a product consistent use is key. I can tell slightly that this product has lightened up a blemish on my face and I will continue to use night and day until I get results are to my liking. It doesn't take much time to add this regiment to my skin care routine so that's also a major plus. I like that the product it clear unlike the tented one I have used in the past. I recieved this product for free with the understanding that I give an honest review.

Quick Drying

I love, love some of Kiehl's products including the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution. It's quick drying and after almost 2 month of use I would say I've seen some improvement in my acne scarring. Now as with most products, I'd love instant results but know that regular use over long periods of time are more likely to show results than just a few weeks.
Amazing product!

Pros: No strong smell. Not sticky like a product of this consistency can be. Absorbs quickly. Most importantly: It really works! I have several dark spots on my face and chest. After using this product as instructed for 2 weeks, some of my dark spots are almost completely gone and others have faded enough that they're not noticeable. Cons: None! There's not one bad thing I can say about this product.
