Hello there! Yes, you may use our Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution along with the Micro-Dose Anti-Aging Retinol Serum with Ceramides and Peptide.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution. We don't recommend applying near the eyes.

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, ...

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!

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!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

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

I used this on my temple to help lighten an age/sun spot. It did seem to work after a couple weeks of use. I stopped using it and it seems ro have darkened again.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
