Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
How to reduce dark spots on the face?
To effectively reduce dark spots, use a targeted dark spot serum like Kiehl's Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution, formulated with Activated C and Proxylane to fade discoloration and brighten skin. Daily sunscreen, gentle exfoliation with AHAs or BHAs, and a consistent skincare routine help prevent and reduce pigmentation. Pairing this serum with hydration and SPF ensures faster and longer-lasting results.
How to use Kiehl's Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution?
Apply 2-3 drops of serum to clean skin, focusing on dark spots or all over for an even complexion. Gently massage and follow with a moisturizer. In the morning, always apply sunscreen to prevent further pigmentation. Use morning and night for visible improvement in clarity and tone.
What causes dark spots on the face?
Dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, can be caused by several factors, including:
- Sun Exposure – UV rays trigger excess melanin production, leading to sunspots.
- Post-Acne Marks – Inflammation from breakouts can leave behind dark spots.
- Hormonal Changes – Conditions like melasma are linked to hormonal fluctuations.
- Aging & Skin Trauma – Scars, cuts, or burns may result in pigmentation.
- Environmental Stressors – Pollution and free radicals can accelerate discoloration.
Using a targeted dark spot serum like Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution, combined with SPF protection, helps reduce and prevent dark spots.
What ingredients are in Kiehl's Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution?
This dark spot serum contains Activated C, a stabilized Vitamin C derivative that reduces discoloration, Proxylane to improve clarity, and White Birch Extract for hydration and radiance. Its fast-absorbing formula works to visibly reduce dark spots and improve skin brightness over time.
Can salicylic acid remove dark spots?
Buffered Salicylic Acid, a key ingredient in Kiehl's Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution, works by gently exfoliating the skin’s surface, helping to fade post-acne marks and discoloration. It accelerates cell turnover, removing pigmented skin cells and revealing a brighter, more even complexion.
To maximize results, combine exfoliation, brightening serums, and daily sunscreen to prevent further pigmentation and achieve clear, radiant skin.
