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.

Ok product
This product was just ok for me. When I used it for the first time, it made me breakout on my forehead, which is the area I have a lot of acne scars. After using it a couple times I did not see a difference, but I think that's because I would have to use it for much longer.

Keeping at it..
always hard to tell if a product is working when you're using so many other products as well - how to know which is the cause of your good results?! That said, my skin looks great and I repurchased this product

Hopeful will continue to see results
This will be my second bottle. I am seeing some results. I have adult acne and olive skin which tends to redden after acne. I know that fading of redness can take some time so I am hopeful to continue to see results

Love this!
This serum is great for skin discoloration! It doesn't take much so use it sparingly.

Not sure yet
This product SHOULD work, considering it is filled with amazing brightening ingredients. I've only been trying it for a few weeks and no difference yet. But hoping that if I keep at it, it will be worth the wait.

So far, so good!
Really like this product so far! I've been using it for almost 2 months now, and between this and bumping up my retinol to every other night, I have seen a huge difference in the evenness of my skin. This product has definitely helped to fade a few of my hyperpigmented acne spots, although they are not totally gone. The product goes on nicely and I don't notice any smell. I'd recommend giving it a try!

So Far So Good
Love it.... If you want to rid your skin of hyper pigmentation use the Discoloration Defense along with the Retinol 1.0.... You will not be disappointed...

Pretty good but not fantastic
Texture is good. I love the fact that there is niacinimide - one of my favorite skincare ingredients. After having tried numerous things to lighten my hyperpigmentation I know that there is no magic bullet out there. However, so far so good, and hoping to see positive results. I haven't noticed any dramatic changes but satisfied with the ingredients that I am putting on my face.

Clearer Complexion
I received a sample of this product in May's BeautyFix box and was so excited to try it. It actually works! I woke up to an even, clearer complexion. I didn't notice right away until my spouse said something to me. My overall tone just looked even. My face didn't look, creepy pale, like it usually does in the AM. I have not finished the small sample because I want to use it sparingly but will definitely purchase during DS' Black Friday sale.
