I got this as a sample when I bought the Clear Spot Correct Serum. At first, I was hesitant to use the Highly Efficient Skin-Tone Corrector due to the warning captions on the bottle since it will be summer soon and I didn't want to risk my acne dark spots to get darker than it already is, however, after using the the Serum religiously and not seeing any results, I decided to give the Skin-tone Corrector a try and noticed results within a month. As I'm reaching my 30's, I've read that acne around the chin starts to increase...Ahhh...age. Anyway, since I'm Asian, specifically, half Filipino/Chinese, my acne always leaves dark spots no matter what I do. With this Skin-Tone Corrector it is getting lighter quicker than the usual 2-3 months it takes my spots to even out. If you have fair skin, I think this product will be a speedier process in making your skin even. It's a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it. It's not an over the night miracle, but it does work. Just be patient.

Too expensive!!! And it takes several weeks to start working - but so far it is lightening my spots slightly. Light-weight product but does not absorb readily. UPDATE: This product is working!!! It took about 7 weeks. Now I found out it has been d/c'ed. RATS! Just my luck.

This is quite pricey where I live, about $82 :/ Yikes. But it has helped with my hyper-pigmented skin on my cheeks to become less red. It has helped some of the marks subside and I love it :) I love the Kiehl's brand in general and they never seem to disappoint me. The product is not oily or greasy and it soaks right up into your skin, I only apply this to the areas where I have hyperpigmentation and it works great. I've been using this for a month now, and I am going to keep using this! If you have hyperpigmented skin you should try this, but make sure to get a sample before splurging~! Will definitely buy again when I run out!

I have been using this for only 2 weeks, but so far it's pretty great. I use this along with my olay cleansing brush and the redness and discoloration on my face has come way down. The only downside is, I think you have to wait until your acne had more or less subsided before you use this product. I got my acne under control (I attribute that to the olay cleansing brush) then about a month after that I went out and got this. So far - very much worth the investment. I have been able to go from not leaving the hosue without full foundation to wearing just a tinted moisterizer, which makes me super happy!!

Like all spot eraser products, they don't totally erase the spot but they do diminish the coloring of the spots. I've just started noticing freckles on my face from not putting sunscreen on when going out in the sun when I was young. I was pretty worried that they would go darker. I've decided to try this product out since the price range wasn't that bad. I didn't expect much from it. But after using it for a month now, I really do see that my spots did went lighter in shade. I apply this day and night after serum and will definitely repurchase.

I've been having adult pimples conctantly and it always leave some red spots and scars. My sister recommended me this product saying this product worked very well with her skin. It was not that pricy compared with other expensive regenerating tone correctors. The result was unbelievable. It really is working Great! Highly recommended!

I have been using Highly Effective Skin-Tone Corrector (HESTC) along with Kiehl's new Photo-Age line that was just released.

I have been using the HESTC for few weeks and I am very pleased with the results - my brown spots across my nose/cheeks/forehead have faded gradually. I know it won't erase the spots off except chemical peel. My spots have become less noticeable, despite that I was worried that it would end up darkening my spots which it didn't. When I go out, I put Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunblock SPF 70 (neutrogena). I regret laying out in the sun when I was younger.

I have been using the Photo-Age cleanser/toner/moisturizer and HESTC with my beloved Clarisonic Pro, it has SAVED my face tremeously. The Photo-Age line have wonderful orange scent. I hate citrus scent - it makes my stomach go flip-flop but this didn't. I love how my face feels after using Photo-Age line. The Kiehl's Photo-Age line is now a part of my everyday use - can't get enuff of it.
No breakout. That's the important thing. I have combination skin - normal with oily T.
