Defective product

I have been using SkinCeuticals for years and have always been satisfied with the products. I order from both Dermstore and directly from SkinCeuticals. I recently purchased Discoloration Defense from the Dermstore and to my surprise the serum was already orange.  Usually, the serum products like C Feuric begin a light clear yellow and then overtime they become orange.  I feel the product may have been previously opened or ??? I am very disappointed

It works

This has helped me with my dark spots and post acne marks. I originally received this as a sample and just recently purchased the full size.

Works Wonder

Purchased this after suffering from an adult hormonal acne flare that left post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation around my chin and jaw area. I tried Musely to help fade the dark spots, but it didn’t work for me. Left my skin irritated and caused more whiteheads. Read reviews on Discoloration Defense and decided to try it out. It’s been about 4 weeks and the spots are fading really well without any skin irritation. It’s also been helping minimize blackheads and whiteheads, especially when paired with Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5% every other night. Will definitely repurchase.

Dark Spots Fade

Been using Discoloration Defense for years and have been pleased with the results. I have noticed over time the reduction of dark spots, sun damage spots and ruddy complexion. Goes on easily and leaves my skin soft. The serum puts a hint of color on my skin to reduce redness. No problems with skin reaction as I have sensitive skin. Would recommend this product!

Very pleased

I have never been disappointed with products from Dermalogica. This is the best I have found to erase brown or discolored skin areas.

Discoloration Defense

I have been using discoloration defense for several years. There have been some times I had to stop for a few months or decided to try something else but I always find myself back to discoloration defense. It really keeps the shading of discoloration at bay. It haven’t found it to get rid of my freckles spots but more of the overall darker areas and melasma which keeps it at bay. But once I stop I see the darkness creeping back in. I use the full line of skinceuticals and really believe in the line.
