It works!

After about 2 weeks of using this, I started to notice my spots lightening in color. I've now noticed that some of them are gone.

I have melasma

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve heard great things about the company and their serums. I’ve been using this consistently for about 3 months now, I don’t see a difference just yet. But I’m determined to follow the regimen and wait the process out. Melasma is difficult to manage

Love this product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this product. I am 73 years old and had spots on my left check, probably from the sun beating on my face while I was driving. After using this product, the spots disappeared! I continue to use it to prevent any more spots from rearing their ugly heads! I highly recommend this product!

Feel like this immediately started to lighten my melasma. Pair this with a weekly lactic acid treatment and red light therapy and I have my malasma under good control. Not fully disappeared but much more subdued.

Discoloration Defense

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a great serum to brighten and keep brown spots at bay. I do have a few spots that haven't gone away, but this definitely lightens them. I love SkinCeuticals products.

Good product

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product is working on some of my discoloration but I do wish it was a little stronger to diminish them more.

More Than Just for Discoloration

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using the Discoloration Defense for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and I have actually noticed a subtle lightning of my dark spots. You do need to use it consistently and morning and night to get maximum benefits. Another thing I’ve noticed is my tone and clarity have improved too! That was a nice difference I wasn’t necessarily expecting!
