wish it worked better

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have a couple large patches of melasma aggravated by an IPL treatment. I'm Asian and in my 60's. almost nothing seems to lighten the problem, including retinoid treatments. This seems to lighten it slightly while using 2-3 times a day, but not at a level that would be noticeable to most people. Was hopeful due to the slight lightening early on, but it hasn't improved beyond that. Do not think I will purchase again.

Works well!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I continue to buy this product for my mom because of how glowy she looks since she started using this. I can't tell if the product is actually lightening her dark spots but her skin definitely looks brighter and healthier.

good product

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I like SkinCeutical products. I use this product and the CE Ferulic. I think these products work well if used daily. I typically put them on in the morning and evening. I'm not sure how effective they are at reversing skin damage, but I do think they do a good job of preventing further wrinkles, lines, dryness, etc.

I love all of Skin Ceutical products. I order quite a few on a regular basis. Discoloration Defense is one of my favorites! Dermstore has been MY go to store. Unbelievable CUSTOMER SERVICE, also products are shopped quickly, even during this holiday season!! It's a pleasure dealing with them. Their standards are set high. They get an A+

not a good product

I did not like this serum. I feel like it made my dark spots and the skin around them even darker.

This stuff works!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Definitely recommend. I know it's pricey but it works. I had a stubborn red spot that I thought was going to require laser removal by my dermatologist. This stuff got rid of it in about 9 weeks with regular use, once per day as the second step in my nighttime routine. Product texture and smell is pleasant. Usually apply three big drops: forehead and each cheek, and still have about 1/4 bottle after 90 days.

Just started

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I just started using this in conjunction with CE Ferulic in the am and Retinol 1.0 in the pm. Hoping it helps with stubborn sun spots. Texture is nice and has not irritated my skin.

Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I like discoloration defense, but after talking to my aesthetician, it really does need to be used 2x daily and is more of a "surface level" discoloration agent. After CE ferulic in the AM, I mix a couple drops in with my HA intensifier. In the PM after cleansing and applying retinol, I do the same mixture of disco defense and HA. I am going to the try the Metacell renewal, which supposedly is a deeper penetrating discoloration defense serum (among other benefits).

great for evening skin tone

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product needs consistency to work, but give it time and it will work its magic. You really can't go wrong with SkinCeuticals products and they are absolutely worth the investment. Great product
