So good, so much $$

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

It may be 98 dollars, but it is soooooo good on my dark spots. I wish it was less expensive, but hey, that it the process of beauty. Saves me from getting some kind of unnatural lazer treatment!

Miracle for my acne scars

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this product for about two and a half weeks now, and I can already see a difference in my skin. I used to have completely acne free skin but over the last several months I have had a problem with breakouts on my cheeks. I try hard not to pick at or pop them, but when the blemish goes away, a scar remains no matter what. Since starting the product, the pigmentation in the scars has gone significantly down. I'm starting to feel like I can start not wearing make up again. I have only been applying the serum during my night time skin routine but it has already made a world of difference. Will buy again!!!! My only complaint is the packaging because I like to be able to see how much product I have remaining.

Expected More

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used Skinmedica Lytera 2.0 and love it for post-acne marks. I wanted to try the Discoloration Defense for the same reason. I have used it for a month and have not seen much results. There is little to no lightening of my hyperpigmentation. I also found the texture a little to tacky for my skin. I have heard that this seems to work better on Melasma.

I easily get sun spots although I religiously wear sunscreen. I've been using this serum for a month and a half or so and I feel my whole complexion became even and bright. I will keep using the serum hoping it keeps doing its magic!

Need to use for awhile

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love skin ceuticals. They are a very high end skincare and have always seen results almost right away. But this product is taking a while to show the effects. But I'm sure if you continue to use, it will work better

amazing product for acne scarring

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I did some extensive research before deciding to buy this product and I have to say I'm so glad I did. I was on accutane 3 years ago and while most of the acne scars are gone, I found that when I'd wake up, my scars were very visible. Hence why I was in search of finding some redness and scar relief. I got through about half of the bottle before I accidentally spilt it (face to palm), but I can say that I'll be buying another bottle ASAP because not only did it make my skin absolutely radiant and bright in the morning, it was a light moisturizer too. The bottle recommends using twice a day but I wanted to prolong my use (so much for that after spilling it!), so I only used it at night time after cleansing my face. I'm excited to try more SkinCeutical products now after this positive experience with the 'Discoloration Defense'.

amazing product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I just start using this product I absolutely love it. My skin is smooth and starts seeing little fading brown spot. It absorbs really well and has no smell. I love the way my skin feels. Great product only downside is the price.
