It works!!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

I didn't see any change

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I received a sample in by beauty box and also one from my esthetician. After using both bottles, I didn't see any difference. I will stick with my vitamin C from this line instead.

Brighter face

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this item consistently as directed for over a month. My face has brighten a lot more and after a few weeks my hyperpigmentation has lighten around my cheek area. I will likely get the item again only if they have their Skinceuticals sale discount, which is not that often unfortunately and wish the regular price was not too steep. I also don't like the packaging for I like to see the amount of product left in the bottle.

Not impressed

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used this for about a month alongside my vitamin c serum in the morning. I really enjoy the texture of this, it's thicker than the c serum and easier to apply as a result. However after a month of use I cannot see any changes in my skin. I don't have a lot of discoloration or dark spots so it's possible this will work better for someone who does but I don't feel like this has done anything to even out the discoloration I do have.

Not sure it works?

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I wanted to wait until I finished the bottle before giving my review. While I liked the texture (similar to an oil) since my skin is dry; I'm not sure it faded any of my pigmentation. Maybe I need more than 1 bottle? But given the price, it is hard for me to justify continuing just in case I will see results. 3 stars since the product felt nice and was easy to apply and did not cause any adverse reactions.

Noticed a brighter complexion immediately

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I got a sample on my May's beautyfix beauty box last month and I noticed results immediately. After a week of use, my husband kept asking what I did to my face because it looked brighter and lighter. This was the only product I had incorporated into my skincare routine!! I'm impressed

It hasn't faded my sunspots but I can tell the difference in my skin tone. My face looks brighter. A little goes a long way.
