Even Better Serum

Dark Spot Corrector

This potent serum features Clinique's proprietary CL302 Brightening Complex, which includes a stable Vitamin C derivative (Ascorbyl Glucoside) and other botanical brightening ingredients. It also incorporates an 'interrupter' complex with soothing ingredients like gyokuro extract (a type of green tea) to calm skin and help prevent irritation that can lead to future dark spots. The formula aims to improve overall skin tone evenness, reduce the appearance of existing discoloration, and enhance skin's radiance, resulting in a clearer and more uniform complexion.
