Brighten and balance your skin tone with SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense, a dark spot corrector that reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure, medical procedures or acne.
Formulated with 3% Tranexamic Acid, 1% Kojic Acid, 5% Niacinamide, and 5% HEPES, the treatment targets stubborn brown patches and post-inflammatory discolouration to even the skin tone and help to minimise the appearance of future marks with continued use. In as little as two weeks, the complexion will be unified, radiant and visibly healthier-looking.
Suitable for all skin types.
Free from parabens, silicones, fragrances, gluten and hydroquinone.
Due to the concentration of Kojic acid in this formula, a shift in color is expected. This could lead to a light brown or amber color, but the formula remains effective.
Twice daily, apply three to five drops to face. For morning use, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum and follow with a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product. Do not use on irritated or broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Fades sunspots on chest
Got a sample and used on my chest to clear up years of sun damage. Was impressed how quickly sun spots faded, so bought a full-size and continue to see improvement. Gave 4 out of 5 because it's spendy, and I had tried a sample on my face, but didn't see the same results (in fairness, my face needs more help than my chest).

Did not notice a difference
I wanted to love this product, as I'm a big SkinCeuticals fan. Unfortunately, I noticed no difference despite using this product consistently for months. I specifically purchased this to fade dark spots and did not see a difference at all.

Will not purchase again
I have purchased this twice hoping that I would work if I was patient. I saw no results.

It works!
I was hesitant because of the price but this stuff really reduces post-acne dark spots!

The Best
You must be consistent and use this daily with the CF serum but I have seen great results. It’s worth the cost.

Darker than in picture but effectoce
I've been using this twice daily for a month now and am seeing good results on my hands and face. Taking off 1 Star because the serum was considerably darker than in the picture but still effective.

It takes time
This product does work in fading hyperpigmentation but it takes consistency and time. I used it every day for over a year and finally see my dark spots getting much lighter. You have to have realistic expectations with any skincare product that doesn’t require a RX. It can’t reverse the signs of anything, won’t show results within 2 weeks and cant work miracles but it can improve the condition of your skin and make it look better

Lighten scars
I use this everyday after the ce serum- I suffer from hyperpigmentation when I have any breakouts and use this to lighten up scars. It is really expensive that’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars.

Not sure.
I have been using the Discoloration Defense on and off. And honestly I don’t know if I see much difference in my skin. Maybe I need to be more consistent with my routine with this product specifically.
