Very pleased

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense I use this product every morning with CE Ferluric, My doctor told me to do this to help with the spots in my face, my skin looks brighter and has helped with uneven skin tone. I also use sunscreen daily.

Effective Product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense is part of my daily skincare lineup. I use this each night along with Lytera 2.0 and a retinol, and have seen a definite reduction in dark spots and uneven skin tone. I also wear sunscreen daily, to ensure I'm not further damaging my skin. Results will not be apparent overnight, so be patient and give your regimen a few months to work. It's worth the wait for beautiful skin!

Waste of money

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have light brown skin and even though I didn't expect my scar's and pigmentation to completely go away, this one did not make any difference. This was a very pricey purchase for me and I am extremely disappointed by the results. I have been using it for a good 7-8 months now and absolutely no visible improvement.

Holy Grail

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have wanted this product forever and only ever used it when I got samples. I’m so happy that I finally bought it in full size. It is a wonderful product and I noticed a difference almost a week in with my skin looking brighter. It is helping with my spots from leftover breakouts, too.

Solid

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I think it is good for keeping pigment at bay, but not so much difference for treating  existing pigmentation . So maybe after a good peel or ipl use this to maintain your skin, but true pigmentation probably needs something stronger.

The Best!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have spent a lot of $$$ on serums for my melasma. This serum combined with the CE+Frelic is the best and most productive. Highly reccomend!

Good

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a good product but it takes consistent use to see results. It’s lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy and it can be combined with other serums/toners.
