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.

So good for melasma!
Have been using this on the advice of my dermatologist and have already seen improvement in my melasma. Super happy with it!

Amazing Results!
Amazing, it's only been a few weeks and I'm seeing a tiny difference already. Extremely happy with my purchase.

Better than prescriptions!
Finally my stubborn melesma is breaking up and fading! I haven't found anything close to the results with this besides a bleaching prescription that my doctor gave me that caused severely irritated skin and dermatitis. This is a life saver, no irritation whatsoever on my sensitive skin! Downside.... the price is steep... but with results like this I already placed my second order.

Love it so far
Still too early to comment on the affects - I've only used it for 2 days - but so far I love the texture and it spreads really easier. I've been using CE Ferulic as well and find that I don't need as many drops of discoloration defense to cover the same area. So far so good!

Discoloration Defense
I have only been using a couple of weeks and it seems that my skin is brighter. I have some sun spots on one side of my face that I hope this will lighten and notice other darkenings from age so hope to nip those in the bud.

doesn't work on me
I'm buying this item due to good reviews on the website. I was hoping that it work for the price I'm paying for but I don't see any different on my face so don't replying on reviews because it's not necessary true.

This works!
I'm 46 and I have used sunscreen on my face daily for about 30 years. I'm fair skinned and normal daily activities would leave with a sunburn. So in high school, long before anyone was wearing sunscreen in their daily moisturizers (when the most I could find was SPF 15), I was doing so. My skin looks pretty good. I don't have a lot of discoloration or brown spots on my face and neck. But I have a couple that are pronounced and a few more around my eyes are popping up as I age. I got a sample of this and used it on only my spots and wow, what a difference I saw! They didn't go completely away, but they lightened so much that I couldn't see them under my light-coverage foundation. So I just bought this product again and I'm looking forward to seeing whether they lighten even more over time with consistent use.

Its okay....very expensive for what it is.
I noticed a little brightening at first, and maybe a slight change in subtle skin discoloration, however not significant enough really to pay THIS much money for a serum.
