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.

Brightness Serum
This product is a staple and I use it twice a day. I notice an immediate difference in the brightness of my skin. It truly helps even out skin tone. I will definitely continue to purchase!

My new BFF
I was a tad skeptical when I first read about the product. I thought, hmmmm, what have I got to lose? Half way into my first bottle, I saw an improvement. Now, almost done with my second bottle, and my third is waiting to be opened. I had a large sun brown spot that has lightened tremendously. Other smaller discoloration had diminished as well. I do use this in conjunction with the Retinol 1.0. Permanent component in my skin care regimen.

Dermatologist recommended
Just bought this product because of my derm's recommendation to treat my mild melasma. I have been using it for 2 weeks and have had no adverse effect to it, but the effectiveness remains to be seen. I also have been a long time user of their C E Ferulic which I absolutely love, so I hope that the combination of these two will work!

No change
I've been using this twice a day for several weeks and I've seen no difference in my skin at all. The reviews were very mixed about this product but I decided to purchase it anyways. I would not recommend this product especially for this price point.

Recently started using this serum
My dermatologist recommended this serum to me to help with some (somewhat minor) discoloration I have on my forehead/cheeks. I have been using this twice a day along for about 2.5 months and see a little improvement. Nothing drastic yet, but I'm going to stick with using it. I also use this with Skin Ceutical's phloretin serum + mineral SPF every morning.

My Skin loves this
My skin loves this serum. I use after I apply C E Ferulic every morning and most evenings unless it is a Skinceuticals Retinol night.

Works for lighter spots
I used this product for a few months and noticed that some of the lighter spots on my face were improving. I use it in combination with CE Ferulic to help with my melasma and sun spots. I would recommend it!

Doesn't work
Had such high hopes for this product and was eyeing it for such a long time for mostly acne scarring but obviously due to the hefty price I kept putting it off, after finally purchasing it and using it for such a long time I'm disappointed it honestly doesn't do anything and it was a total waste of money esp being so expensive.

Caused my skin to be yellow
I really wanted to love this product but it made my skin yellow. My problem area is above my lip so it literally made my sun mustache even worse! Ugh.

Great product!
I have been using this every night for about a month and a half. I apply it after my CE Ferulic Serum. I absolutely love this serum! I'm 37, medium-olive skin tone, sensitive, dry skin. I have some sun damage and hyperpigmentation. I can tell a huge difference in the evening of my skin tone. This product is worth every penny!
