Kiehl's Since 1851 Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution

This highly-efficacious facial serum brightens and clarifies skin for increased radiance. Over time, it diminishes the number and intensity of even deep-set dark spots and skin discolorations.

Features & Benefits:

• minimizes the appearance of a broad spectrum of dark spots for a more even skin tone
• daily, continuous use results in visibly brighter, more radiant skin
• formulated with a potent latest-generation clarifying complex of Activated C, White Birch and Peony Extracts
• dermatologist-tested for safety and gentleness
• for all skin types, including sensitive skin

Key Ingredients:

• Activated C: A potent next-generation active that works faster than the leading dark spot ingredient. This Vitamin C derivative penetrates rapidly to attack deep-set dark spots while preventing the formulation of new skin discolorations for a visible improvement in skin tone and clarity.
• White Birch Extract: A sugar-derived ingredient known for its ability to restore hydration and nutrients to the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin. In skincare products, this potent active ingredient increases skin elasticity levels and collagen production, resulting in restored skin density, volume and thickness.
• Peony Extract: Works synergistically with Activated C to facilitate the reversal of skin discoloration for overall clarity.

How to Use:

• Cleanse skin prior to application with a cleanser.
• Apply as a spot treatment or over entire face both day and night.
• Can be used to correct visible skin discolorations on hands, neck and chest.
• Follow with a moisturizer.
• During the day, protect skin by layering with SPF products.

The original Kiehl’s apothecary first served patrons in 1851, at the corner of 13th Street and Third Avenue in New York City.

In 1894, after honing his trade as an ambitious apprentice, pharmacist John Kiehl purchased the apothecary. John Kiehl & Co. began operations under “Kiehl Pharmacy.”

Mr. Irving Morse, John Kiehl’s apprentice, took over the business in 1921 and expanded the offerings to a full-service pharmacy, stocking teas, herbs, tinctures, honeys, and the first-ever Kiehl brand products, including the Original Musk Oil, our signature scent.

In 1924, Kiehl’s became one of the first companies to proudly list ingredients on its product labels — even before the U.S. government mandated it — to help customers make more informed and confident purchasing decisions.

Kiehl’s Pharmacy began introducing bold new products in 1962, such as Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner, Blue Astringent Lotion (loved by Andy Warhol), Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1, and Ultra Facial Moisturizer — all still among our best sellers today.

In 2006, Kiehl’s introduced Dermatologist SolutionsTM, a collection of advanced skincare formulated by Kiehl’s chemists (and developed in collaboration with an advisory panel of leading dermatologists) to address specific skin concerns.

Today, our nature-inspired, scientifically-proven formulas are powerful yet safe and help improve overall skin quality for visibly healthier-looking skin.
