Good but be careful

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

So I just started using this so I can't speak to long term effectiveness. It does brightened but be really careful. I used this all over my face and it totally broke my face out in a rash. Maybe a better spot treatment but all the same very strong.

Young Age Spots

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm younger and got this product for Christmas. My family knows I love skinceuticals anything. I love this products textures. Not to thick so I feel like it can spread easily on your face. I don't have that many ages spot but the one I do have that's bigger is still there. But the edges are a little lighter and more broken up. But it's still pretty much there. I would say it's more better for slight sun damage and evening out your complexion.

No improvement in dark spots

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I tan easily and unfortunately also am susceptible to hyperpigmentation. I purchased this when it was first released and use it all over my face, and haven't noticed any improvement in my dark spots or freckles. I think it makes my skin feel clearer and smoother in general, but no targeted improvement in spots. Thankfully, it's unscented and absorbs quickly so you can layer this with other skincare products. This is pricey for what it is, and there are other brightening serums I like better, so I can't recommend this.

I think it's working

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have had freckles all my life and that trait has turned in to brown spots now as I age (36). I have been using this product AM and PM pretty religiously for about 5 months now. I have noticed a lot of brightening and evening of my skin tone. I was hoping this serum would do more for the large dark brown spots in a quicker period of time. Still, I believe it is defending against more popping up like it promises!

don't see a significant result

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I like the texture, it is not heavy at all. However, I don't really see the improvement on my face...Probably won't purchase again given its price.

Good Find I think...

It goes on nice, not sticky. Im not sure how it helps even or brighten tone, its too soon to tell. Ingredient list is on point. Need more time.

love it but expensive

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love Skinceuticals, and I love this cleanser. It makes my skin feel CLEAN without over drying. I have very sensitive, break out prone skin, and have had no bad reactions. I also love the tingling sensation! Great product, and I love how my skin looks since purchasing. Brighter, clearer, more even and all without any manual exfoliation.

Seeing some results!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

During the summer, even with sunscreen, I get these dark spots all over my forehead and cheeks. They're already appearing so I decided to give this a try. I'm seeing small results, and hoping to see more as I continue to use it throughout the summer.

Still waiting to see results

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've used this for a couple months now, and have yet to see any changes. I have some sunspots on my cheeks that I was hoping this would fade, but nope. Granted, I've only been using it at night, since I try to avoid exfoliants during the daytime when I know I'll get sun exposure. It has also turned a rather vivid orange color that has stained my pillowcases. I think I will finish the bottle, but am unlikely to repurchase.

Amazing serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is the only serum that works for my hyperpigmentation. I have been using Discoloration Defense for a couple of months, and have noticed my pigmentation to be lightened and almost nonexistent. Best product ever!
