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.

received a sample.. love it!
Received a sample of this in another Dermstore order. I have a spot on my forehead that sustained some sun damage and used it on that area. Within a week I started to notice some evening of tone.

AMAZING RESULTS
Loved it since the moment I started using it! I've never used a product that is so fast-acting and effective. Skinceutical will forever be in my skincare regime from now on!

My skin is glowing
I've been using this product for almost a month and my skin is looking. I don't know if it's the product alone or in combination with peeling pads, Differin gel and vitamin c, but I like it. Only wish it was a little cheaper.

Scars are gone!
I have been using Skinceuticals Vit C serum for years so thought I would try the Discoloration Defense as well and it is the best decision I have ever made for my skin! My acne scars and sun spots are already fading and I have had multiple family members comment on how great my skin looks.

Got it as a sample
I got a big bottle of this as a sample. I didn't really notice a huge difference on my red spots.

Amazing for discoloration
One of the few products that does what it advertises. Some discoloration takes longer to fade than others but it works for sure!

dark spots lighter but still there
Ok, so I have been using this for a year (morning/night) along with retin-A at night and SPF in the daytime. Together, skin is improved and the dark spots are lighter but definitely still visible. I'm thinking, "Do I need a procedure? Maybe..." Before that, I will try different lightening product when Discoloration Defense runs out.

Haven't noticed any changes....
I have been using this for almost 2 weeks and haven't noticed any change. That might not be enough time but I read other reviews where people said they bought 2 bottles before they started seeing changes, if at all. Considering you only need a few drops a day at most, that seems like it would take many months to see a difference. I just think there must be better options, especially given how expensive this is. I really love this brand but I'm not sold on this product.
