SkinCeuticals' Discoloration Defense is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration on the face. Powered by kojic acid, tranexamic acid and vitamin B3, this advanced formula is a hydroquinone-free skin brightening serum.
Key Ingredients:
- 3% Tranexamic Acid: minimizes the recurrence of discoloration and stubborn brown patches with continued use
- 1% Kojic Acid: naturally produced by certain fungi, kojic acid helps improve skin brightness
- 5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): a water-soluble vitamin that has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration
- 5% HEPES: a synthetically-derived acid that activates natural enzymes in skin to help break the bonds that bind dead skin cells to the surface for even exfoliation
Key Benefits:
- Features a synergistic blend of anti-discoloration ingredients to reduce the appearance of skin discoloration, improve brightness, and minimize the reoccurrence of discoloration (with continued use)
- 60% average improvement in the appearance of stubborn brown patches
- Paraben-free, fragrance-free, silicone-free, gluten-free, and hydroquinone-free
- Ideal at-home complement to professional skin discoloration treatments, such as chemical peels or non-ablative laser; always consult with a physician for individual regimen recommendations
Clinical Studies:
In a 12-week clinical study*, Discoloration Defense significantly improved the appearance of key skin discoloration markers on Fitzpatrick I-IV skin tones:
- 60% average improvement in the appearance of stubborn brown patches
- 59% average improvement in the appearance of skin discoloration
- 81% average improvement in the appearance of post-acne marks
- 59% average improvement in the appearance of even skin tone
In a 12-week study** on deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick V-VI), twice-daily application of Discoloration Defense demonstrated a statistically-significant improvement in the appearance of discoloration, post-inflammatory discoloration, and even skin tone:
- 33% reduction in hyperpigmentation at 12 weeks
- 34% reduction in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation at 12 weeks

Melasma be gone!
This has been a game changer!! I have had terrible melasma and this has been the only serum that has completely faded it! I use it with the Skincueticals vitamin C and it’s a great duo!
Report this reviewExpensive, but great ingredients with a no-nonsense formula
Works effectively with proven ingredients. I have sensitive skin, and this is a great fragrance free formula. I've been using this with 2% alpha arbutin and I notice a difference in the discolouration on my face. Wish it wasn't so pricey, but I trust their formulation.
Report this reviewWorks on brown spots!
This is great stuff for brown spots! During the winter I use this in the mornings and my hydroquinone cream at night. During the summers I use this morning and night.
Report this reviewIt really works
My husband has had discoloration in his skin for years and once we both started using this daily, I could immediately see the transformation in his skin - and mine has a glow too! Definitely recommend, a little goes a long way which makes it absolutely worth the investment.
Report this reviewSo far it’s working
HVe been using for 1 month without CE Feeulic and I’m noticing a slight difference. Will continue to use.
Report this reviewAmazing results
Amazing results-I am using SkinCeuticals for almost 20 years. This is the first time I’ve use this product and it’s been amazing for reducing discoloration spots on my cheeks which is gradually. Over the years. I am 55 and have seen results in just six weeks so grateful
Report this reviewAmazing
Bought this after it was recommended for some small face discoloration and red spots. It has been amazing! So much better than expected. Now aside from the naturally rosy cheeks, the discoloration is gone and my skin is brighter. I love how lightweight and clean it leaves my skin. I apply it in the morning after cleansing and always top it off with sunscreen.
Report this reviewfaded dark marks!
I use this in conjunction with Skinceuticals Vitamin C -- I use the Vitamin C once every other day given bioavailability and my skin's propensity to freak out with the use of actives, but I apply this morning (before moisturizers) and night (after lighter serums, but before tretinoin) daily because it is so gentle and feels hydrating. It has faded the sun spots on my chest pretty significantly without causing any irritation.
Report this reviewit works!
I use this serum religiously if I get a pimple that scars or anything along those lines. THe mark disappears provided that I use the serum 2x per day consistently. I have already repurchased the product once.
