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.

My Fav Dark Spot Fixer
Will be 53 next week and have tried MANY, MANY dark spot/skin discoloration products but for me this is by far THE BEST product for ridding stubborn dark spots and patches, period.....A trial size of it came in one of my Dermstore beauty boxes - which I also highly recommend subscribing too! Dermstore has such an amazing variety of brands and products to choose from which makes getting their beauty box a no brainer! The Discoloration Defense product works on hands just as well! Try and enjoy!

Great Product
The product was recommended to me to help with some pigmentation on my nose. I had great results with this product! I even have the skin analysis pics to prove it.

Good prevention
Seems to work well as a preventative measure. Haven't noticed any new dark spots this summer!

Really nice
I only have a sample size, but something in this product makes my skin clearer. It hasn't done much for my discoloration because I haven't had it long enough. However, it does brighten and for whatever reason it seems to prevent acne.

Nice, but low results for price
I have been using this after getting a sample in the beauty fix box. I'm not sure that its doing much, but I have not been super dedicated to applying this. For the price of a full bottle, I would recommend trying a sample first or at least waiting for a sale. I didn't have noticeable results right away although it is smoothing and somewhat redness reducing.

Noticed results right away
Tried this from the beauty fix box. I've used this three times now and I've already noticed a brightness and even tone to my skin. I followed up with Skinmedica dermal repair cream and my skin looks fantastic. I will note that I have very fair skin and do not know if this will affect some of the "brightening" that I notice compared to other users. I will be purchasing the full size.

working well so far
I have much discoloration on my shins as a result of injuries exacerbated by thin skin. I am putting the product on my shins for about two weeks now and am noticing some difference I am sure it will take a bit more time but I will be diligent applying every evening

Not sure??
I have used this product for a couple of months. I am not sure about the results. I will note that I had to go slow in introducing it into my regimen... when I tried to put it on in combination with retina-a at night, I peeled all over my face. My nurse recommended alternating nights for a while and this helped my skin to get used to it. Now that I can use it more regularly, I am not sure that I notice a big difference, however I also do not notice new brown spots. I believe I will keep using this product as I feel it is helping in keeping my skin clear. The results are definitely not dramatic though.
