  • Dermatologist tested
  • Safe for sensitive skin
  • Allergy tested

Key Ingredients

  • UP302: Researchers screened over two thousand plant extracts and found dianella ensifolia to have powerful properties. UP302, Clinique’s proprietary brightening molecule, was bioengineered to mimic the botanical and found to have powerful antioxidant and brightening benefits.
  • Vitamin C: This serum is made with two types of vitamin C—magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbyl glucoside—for precisely calibrated formulation. Together these potent brightening antioxidants help visibly reduce dark spots, including post-acne marks, and help skin tone look more even.
  • Niacinamide: Helps visibly reduce discoloration such as dark spots and post-acne marks.
  • Salicylic acid: Gently sloughs off the uppermost layers of the skin to help reveal fresher, more even-looking skin.
  • Glucosamine: Helps weaken the bonds that hold dead skin cells together to encourage the exfoliation of surface discoloration for brighter, more even-looking skin.
  • Glycyrrhetinic acid, derived from licorice extract: A potent anti-irritant, it helps calm skin by visibly reducing skin irritation that could trigger dark spots.
  • Gyokuro: This green tea is hand-harvested in Japan in such a way that its natural anti-irritant properties are optimized for full potential. Helps quell the look of irritation that could lead to discoloration.
  • Formulated without: Fragrance, Parabens, Phthalates, Oil, Drying alcohol, Sodium lauryl sulfate, Sodium laureth sulfate, Synthetic colors

  • Up to 49% visible reduction in sun and age spots on lighter skin tones.*

  • *Clinical testing of 53 panelists after 12 weeks showed 49% visible improvement in top responders (21 of 53 panelists) and a 34% average visible improvement across all 53 panelists.

Good results but Not for Sensitive Skin

I really like the opaque packaging, which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. The dispenser keeps the product free from contamination and allows for precise application. The texture is dense, yet it absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky or greasy feeling. It's easy to apply, though...

This clinique dark spot serum is really the truth! I have always been so insecure about my dark spots on my face but this + sunscreen helped to even out my dark spots and clear my face up in as little as 2 weeks! My only thing though is it can't be used near the eyes or else it will burn them so be careful.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Wow! I have always enjoyed Clinique products and their effectiveness and this is no exception. The packaging feels nice and sturdy and the texture of the product isn't too thick or thin. There is no heavy scent and i have enjoyed each use. I will be repurchasing this when I finish.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I've been using the Clinique Dark Spot Serum twice a day, applying it on my face before my moisturizer, and it has quickly become a staple in my new skincare routine. It's been perfect for targeting my sun damage and dark spots, and I've noticed a visible improvement in my skin's overall tone. I love that it's fragrance-free, making it gentle even for sensitive skin, and its lightweight texture absorbs easily without feeling heavy or greasy.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
