Slowly but surely

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product glides on easily and absorbs quickly. I think it's going to take some time to see real results but it has a lovely feel and marries well with the other items in my AM routine.

Disappointed

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

Received the serum and it was dark brown in color. Initially I thought that it was normal, and continued to use it . Now I am noticing that my facial skin is at least 2 shades darker than my chest, like I have been in the sun and tanned. I wear spf 46 everyday, even while I am indoors. Very disappointed with the quality control. Who knows how long this has been on the shelf.

Defective product

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

Works Wonder

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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!

SkinCeuticals comes through again. This product has helped erase brown and/or discolored skin on my face. I am in my seventies and pleased with this.
