On the fence

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I am on the fence about this one. I use it twice a day religiously: morning, 30 minutes after Obagi 20% C serum, and evening before retinol. It has been three months, and I think my face may be a little more even toned, but I have acne scars from my youth and post acne hyperpigmentation from the one large cystic pimples I tend to get once every couple of months to contend with. The one spot of post pimple pigmentation that arrived just as I started using this serum has faded, but it may just be the normal fading timeline and not related to the serum. I just ordered a new bottle since mine is on its last drops, so we will see how another 3 months goes.

Lovely Addition

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Too early to see a difference of reduced hyperpigmentation (on week 2), however, texture is nice - reminds me of CE Ferulic (which I also use and LOVE).

Everyday must have

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Discoloration defense has been a must have for me for a couple years. It has helped keep my skin tone even and bright and is the perfect complement to in office procedures I like to have done such as Clear & Brilliant treatments. It has helped reduce the appearance of my sun spots significantly and I love that it provides the slightest bit of hydration without leaving me looking oily. Love it 100%

Works well but a bit pricey!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

So far I have seen decent results from the product however I think you have to use this for several months in order for the effects to really show. For the pricepoint, it's a bit hard to justify but since I've heard so many great things I plan to keep up the routine (pairing this with discoloration defense) in hopes that it will continue to brighten and even out my skin tone. The smell isn't as bad to me as some of the other reviewers say it is!

a must for after retinol application

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product has calmed my skin after using retinol product and enabled me to continue to use the retinol. I also think it has begun to repair the aging spots on my face. I like the texture and feel of this also.

Good product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have melasma and I keep trying any products that targets discoloration. It is hard to tell if there is a difference but I like using it as part of my routine because it is very easily absorbed by my skin. I will keep using and will re-order.

I really want to love it

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

It has been almost two month since I got this product, and I have used almost of the bottle. While, I have to say that it didn't work on me. I expected the good result as CEF, but my skin and the spot didn't show any different. I'll update it after I empty the bottle.
