Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution is a highly efficacious serum targeting hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. It is formulated with Activated C (a stabilized form of Vitamin C), salicylic acid, and peony extract. Activated C is known for its ability to visibly diminish dullness and uneven skin tone, while salicylic acid targets the skin’s surface to visibly reduce discoloration and renew skin texture. Peony extract, a natural antioxidant, helps protect against oxidative damage.
Clinical studies demonstrated significant improvements in skin clarity and dark spot reduction. A 12-week clinical study showed a 49% visible reduction in hyperpigmentation, a 39% visible reduction in dark spot color, and a 27% visible reduction in post-acne marks. After one week of use, expert grading in a clinical study with 50 Asian women showed that the serum boosts skin clarity. Consumers agreed, with 97% showing reduced dark spot intensity, 93% showing more radiant skin, 96% showing softer skin, and 94% showing plumper skin after 12 weeks of product use . The serum is dermatologist-tested, gentle, and safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and has been tested on all ethnicities across 47 skin tones. The formula is paraben-free, fragrance-free, colorant-free, and silicone-free.
