KIEHL'S @ The Cleary Corrective Collection

Knowing that discoloration and loss of clarity were growing concerns, Kiehl’s introduced its award-winning formula Clearly Corrective^TM Dark Spot Solution in 2010. Featuring White Birch, Peony Extract, and an advanced Vitamin C derivative, Activated C, this clear, active, yet gentle formula has been clinically tested to reduce the appearance of discoloration and improve clarity, skin tone, radiance and luminosity. For decades, these signs of aging have been widely associated with UV damage and smoking, but more recently, scientists have been focusing on how signs of aging are accelerated by pollution.

In 2012, a team of researchers explored how air pollution exposure contributes to extrinsic skin aging particularly the decrease in skin clarity caused by pigment spot development. Inspired by these findings, and to ensure that Kiehl’s customers were being served with the company’s most effective solution to reduce the appearance of discoloration, new testing was conducted on 3 star formulas within the Clearly Corrective^TM family, including the Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution, Skin Brightening Exfoliator and Clarity-Activating Toner. When applied as a complete regimen, 96.5% of consumers agreed their skin appeared brighter and more radiant, and in a clinical test, Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution was proven to improve clarity by nearly 23% when used on its own.
