How to remove dark spots on the face?

To effectively reduce dark spots, use a dark spot serum like Kiehl's Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution, formulated with Activated C and Proxylane to visibly fade discoloration and promote skin clarity. Consistent application, along with daily sunscreen use, helps prevent further pigmentation and enhances results over time. For best practices on fading dark spots and achieving a more even complexion, explore our guide on how to treat dark spots and discolorations for expert tips and recommendations.

How to apply Kiehl's Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution?

Apply 2-3 drops of the serum onto clean, dry skin, gently pressing it into the areas with dark spots or applying it evenly over the entire face for an overall brightening effect. Follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and maintain results. For best results, use morning and night as part of your skincare routine.

Can I use Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution as a spot treatment?

Yes, this corrective dark spot solution can be applied directly to dark spots for targeted treatment or used all over the face to brighten and even out skin tone. If using as a spot treatment, apply a small amount directly onto the area of concern after cleansing and toning.

How to treat post-acne marks effectively?

Post-acne marks can fade with time, but using a dark spot remover like Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution helps speed up the process. The serum works by inhibiting excess melanin production and promoting an even skin tone. For enhanced results, pair with a gentle exfoliating product like Clearly Corrective™ Brightening & Exfoliating Daily Cleanser to help resurface and renew the skin.

Can a dark spot serum help with hyperpigmentation?

Yes, a dark spot serum like Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution is specifically formulated to target hyperpigmentation, including sun spots, post-acne marks, and uneven skin tone. Infused with Activated C and Buffered Salicylic Acid, this dark spot remover works to visibly brighten the skin and fade discoloration over time. For best results, apply consistently and pair with sunscreen during the day to prevent further pigmentation and maintain a more even skin tone.
