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.

Works wonders
I had acne scars and this product really worked wonders on my skin. The scars have not completely disappeared ( I didn't expect a miracle ) but have significantly reduced in appearance. Giving it four stars because the product is a little expensive

Love this post summer
This has helped reduce some of the sun spots that I noticed popping up this summer.

Seems to be working
I am using this product in conjuction with another one from the Skinceuticals correct line (advance pigment corrector), and my skin discoloration seems to be fading, although quite slowly. This serum is pricey, but I trust Skinceuticals products, so I prefer to pay extra to get good quality.

Good but not great
A little of this goes a long way but I felt like after four weeks I didnt notice any change in my skin even with using retinol, glycolics, and SPF 50 everyday. I noticed more of a change with the Lytera 2.0

Feels nice
I received a sample of this and used it for a couple weeks. It felt nice when applied, but nothing dramatic to where I would actually purchase.

Slowly disappearing
I have been using this product for about 2 weeks, and while I have seen some change, my skin has not dramatically improved. I did, however, try this on a dark spot on my hand and it has nearly disappeared. Well, wonders never cease! I use many SkinCeutical products, and now I am wondering how to layer them or do I use them only one at a time. My other go-to product is C E Ferulic and their moisturizer. I swim everyday so my skin tends to be dry.

Next best serum from SC
Skin Ceuticals has the best serums and science to back it! The texture is nice and my skin is more glowing. I think as with any product you have to be patient and allow consistent use for weeks to months to see the true effect.

Definitely a Keeper
I am approaching 60 and though I practice diligent suncare now, that was not the case 30 years ago. I have slight discoloration on the jawline but two distinct spots that I was hoping to lighten. I had tried laser but it made it worse. So I figured I would give this a try as it had many positive reviews. I can honestly say that after following the directions for two weeks, twice a day, I am starting to see some lightening. It says you must continue for at least 12 weeks which I intend to do. I do not leave the house without putting on my Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50. That has truly been a game changer. I cannot say enough good things about it. I do keep one bottle at work as I reapply when I go out for lunch. But it allows you to go makeup free as it has a blurring effect. I just love it. For those of you on the fence with the Discoloration Defense serum I say give it a try. It is definitely doing something and I am excited to see what it will look like in 4 weeks, 8 weeks and then 12 weeks. I will try to write another review as time passes.
