Great Product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Much better product that their previous color corrector. This works really well for dark spots and acne scarring. It is also moisturizing more than drying. You can use it in the summer without further damage to yous skin. I am 43 with acne and rosacea and sensitive skin.

So far so good

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love SkinCeuticals products and they usually work well for me. It's still a little early to tell but I'm hoping for a dramatic improvement to my dark spots. The consistency is a tad bit oily but it does pair well with my other skincare products and it spreads very easily. I'm not a big fan of dropper bottles. I would have preferred an airless pump.

Skin looks brighter and more even

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using discoloration defense for about a month and I definitely see a difference. I'm in my 40s and have been dealing with hormonal acne, which left stubborn red marks. Plus my skin tone has some unevenness. I started working with a new dermatologist who recommended this. My red marks are fading, and my skin tone overall is much more even and clear. I love it!

Seeing results

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using it only once a day at bedtime and seeing results! Skin tone has improved and dark spots are fading away. I would recommend this product.

This works for PIH and scarring

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense for 4 months now and my stubborn PIH is almost gone. This lighten my scars more than hydroquinone ever did. I use once a day with my Vit C . Its liquid texture plays nice with other serums and layers beautifully. Thankfully there is no sd alcohol or dimethicone which for the SkinCeuticals brand is a huge leap!

Jury is still out...

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been consistently using for a month and have not noticed a big difference in my melasma. It goes on smooth and is light under moisturizer/sunscreen. I will continue using and hope a bigger difference as time goes.

Allergic reaction to niacinamide

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This caused huge, red, zit-like cysts to form all over my face. After doing some research, I finally discovered that some people have a niacinamide sensitivity, and that reactions can include cysts, blisters, flushing, burning, closed comedones, etc. If you start to have sudden skin problems after starting this, then be aware that niacinamide might be the culprit. I used almost the entire bottle - unfortunately, it took me months to figure out what was making my face explode - and I don't see any improvement in any of the old acne scars that I was trying to target. I know that these things take time, so maybe if I had been able to stay with it I would have seen more of a difference.
