Good product

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've probably been using this product for 2 or 3 weeks now and I have seen a little difference in some of my acne scars but not to the point that I'd like. I don't like to judge products this early on because most products take patience and also depends on the individuals problem area. I gave this product a 4 star because I have seen a small difference therefore I feel like it has potential to fulfill my skins needs but definitely not an overnight product.

Has reduced signs of melasma

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After having tried hydroquinone and Lytera, I am now using Discoloration Defense + Phloretin and am noticing a big reduction in my melasma. While it is not completely gone, it has significantly improved more so than using any other product.

Great for Dark Spots

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I am a medium brown skin woman and this has proven effective for my post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It was recommended by my dermatologist and I am addicted. I never allow myself to run out of it. It is effective without at all feeling harsh. It works rather quickly if you are consistent. 10/10. I use it primarily at night.

Great for melasma

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been battling melasma for many years and had a difficult time finding something that would make a difference with my skin. I refused to use anything with hydroquinone because it is banned for use in European skincare (which makes me think there might be something wrong with it). I've been using Discoloration Defense twice a day for for several months and have seen a large improvement in my skin. I also like that fact that my acne prone skin can tolerate this without any issues.

Great stuff

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I feel this helps even my skin tone. I use it with their phyto plus for an extra boost of discoloration fighting power. It can feel sticky after applying though.

Made me look ill

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product made me appear ghostly white and unhealthy after about two weeks of using a few drops twice a day. Yikes. I caught my reflection in the mirror and whatever the lighting was made me do a double take. I looked pale and sickly. My brown spots near my eyes might have lightened a tiny bit but it wasn't worth continuing to use and looking ill. I returned for a store credit.

I am impressed

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used this twice a day for a little less than a month. I see a slight improvement on my hyperpigmentation . My recovering pimples did not leave a lingering red mark. I am excited to see the results after the whole bottle. No scent and it soaks in nicely.

Noticeable results

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have a ton of skin discoloration on my face, but I love to go makeup free. This has really been a game changer for me. After about 5 days of consistent use (am and pm), it noticeably made a difference in my skin tone and helped my confidence with a bare face. Will always use this as part of my skincare regimen.

Not sure if this works or not

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

Maybe slight improvement. I honestly do not use it anymore, bc I have been so happy with the results of phloretin cf gel, that I haven't really needed to use it. It prob was helping also when I used it.

So far so good

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using it day and night. 3 drops easily covers my face unlike with some serums that dont seem to cover as much with only 3. I have only been using it for a few weeks so I have not seen much of a differnce yet but I have hope it will fade pigmentation from acne.
