Love it so far

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

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!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Helps diminish discoloration

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Nearing my 50's has only heightened the emerging age spots and discoloration from not using SPF early in my 20's. I have been using this product in the evenings for about 3 1/2 weeks now and have begun to notice lightening of the darker pigment along my forehead and jaw line. I do use the SkinCeuticals Hyaluaronic Intensifier serum in the morning along with a SPF 50 face cream. While this product is a bit pricey, the results have been pretty good so far; just be patient as it doesn't happen overnight!

Did not notice a change

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I received a few samples of this and tried them out. I suffered from acne when I was younger and picked at my face for years, not realizing my face would scar. I tried this out for a few weeks but saw no difference. Again, I just used a few small samples. Reading the reviews, some said they noticed difference after long usage. Not sure if this will be worth it to me to add to my skin routine. I would prefer other Skinceutical products over this.

Brighter Skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using this for close to a year and have noticed a significant change in the brightness of my skin tone. The product has helped with fading spots and scars. I use it both AM and PM. It's a great combo with the CE Ferulic.

Great Product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product has definitely helped. My esthetician at my dermatologist's office recommended it to me. I have hormonal acne and rosacea. Now that I have it under control, it has improved both my skin discoloration and acne-marks and doesn't cause any rosacea flare-ups. Results will take a couple of months to really see so you will need continued use. I would definitely recommend giving it a try. It doesn't really have much of a scent at application so that is a nice plus.
