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.

Light and easy to use
I think this product is light and goes on easy; I haven't used it for a month so I can't say if is doing anything to help with my discoloration. I plan to keep using it until I finish this first bottle and will try at least one more bottle before I decide whether it is helping with my discoloration.

Perhaps
Gal that performs exfoliation tells me that she sees results and she did not sell this product to me. Me. I say "perhaps."

Buy this now!
I should have taken before and after pics! I have only been using for 2 weeks, but can tell a difference! A little goes a long way! Worth the price!

Great product
I have used it because it was part of the Dermstore Solution Brightening system. I use it almost daily in the AM like they recommended and have seen my cystic acne scars lighten. It goes on easily and other products layer on top nicely. 4 stars because the cost isn’t reasonable at all.

Great
It is slow and steady. I use it daily and it helps with hyperpigmentation . I apply it on my face and neck and when I am done whatever is still left goes on the back of my hands.

Helps prevent melasma from returning
I had very resistant melasma and was recommended to use this product daily in conjunction with my treatment plan. This topical has helped clear my skin and keep my skin looking brighter!

I continue to buy
I continue to purchase this product, along with the vitamin C serums to combat hyperpigmentation. I have seen small improvements - wasn’t expecting anything life changing (I get IPL for that).

I think i like this
I am on my second bottle of this and am not sure if it's doing a ton for discoloration spots, but it does give me a nice glow and hasn't made me break out.

Like it
I love using SkinCeuticals products. They are expensive but mostly, they are worth every dollar. I have acne-prone skin and I do everything I can to not have a breakout. But when I do have a breakout, discoloration defense helps get rid of the hyperpigmentation, redness, and scars. I do like retexturing activator better than discoloration defense just because I have started to feel that it does the same job but for a lesser price.
