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.

Slow but steady wins the race
I'd been using another niacinamide without much improvement and decided to try this instead. A month in, I'm seeing considerable fading of my chin blemishes, but not much yet in the melasma patches on my cheeks. I'll give it another couple of months before asking my derm to prescribe hydroquinone or consider laser treatments. The product does work well after applying retinol at night.

Not sure - can't recommend yet
Bought this as I saw many derms recommending this for melasma - I have a bit of light melasma on my forehead and I have been using this for a couple of months and so far no improvement. I have very sensitive skin and I haven't had any bad reactions so that is a plus. Not sure I would buy again - it is a bit pricey and so far not seeing any improvements. I also don't like the packaging as it lets air in, and also is prone to spilling (spilled almost entire bottle accidentally of another product in the same packaging).

Not worth it
I don't see the slightest difference with this. I am frustrated given it is not cheap. Usually this brand is my go to, and this is the first product I hate!

Another great SC product
It takes a couple weeks to see results and now I do! I use with SC Ferulic serum in the morning. This goes in quickly with no stickiness, which I love. A keeper in my routine! I'm 67 and love that I can make my skin look better with these products!

Great product
I use this along with SkinCeuticals CE ferulic and they are wonderful together. My skin looks better than it ever has and I am a 62-year-old woman! Highly recommend it

Discoloration Defense
With applying consistently, and a little patience, this serum will lighten melasma on the face and help with hyperpigmentation. You must apply every day!!

Good complement to existing skin routine
I have enjoyed this product so far and do not have any complaints. My only hesitation is that I use it in conjunction with the CE FERULIC by skinceuticals (which is my absolute favorite, and I've tried a lot of products!!) I took a hiatus from my preexisting skincare routine to take part in a product trial. After a month, I was ready to return to my old ways (the product trial did not work well for me.) I returned to my existing routine which included the CE FERULIC, in which I decided to try a new addition, the discoloration defense. So far, my skin is looking great but I'm not sure if it is only due to the CE Ferulic or both in combination.

Good for sensitive skin!
I have sensitive skin and I have not had any reaction. This definitely has evened out my skin tone well in the week or so that I've been using it. Would give a full 5 stars if positive results continue over this month!

Consistency is Key
I've definitely seen this improve the appearance of dark spots and discoloration over time. That being said, it's not a quick fix. As others have stated, consistency is key! I really notice it's impact with acne scarring. The redness and marks seem to fade away much quick than they have in the past.
