Review- discoloration

Fades freckles but does not fade Melissa which is my primary concern. There are Drugstore brands that will fade freckles for a fraction of the cost.

still waiting for result

I am on the 2nd bottle of this product, alternating it with hydroquinone 4%. It's hard to tell if it's achieving any spot lightening result on it's own

Bright face

My face is amazing! My skin tone is so even! I apply this 2x day! I’ve used other high end products and this has been by far the best! I’ve noticed the change after about a month of use.

Waste of Money - No Difference Whatsoever

My dermatologist recommended this product for me, advising me to put it on after my Retin-A at night. This was supposed to help lighten dark spots that have appeared on my face over the years (I'm in my mid 50s). She didn't know why it should work, but had heard anecdotally that it should. I followed her instructions and used it for months. No difference whatsoever. No improvement. Just a ton of wasted money. Would not recommend.

Significant difference

This product truly works. I have many acne scars on my cheeks which have over time darkened significantly. As I started using this, I’ve noticed a total difference in not only the color of the dark marks but also the size of them on my cheeks. Would def recommend if you are looking for something gentle but effective.

Works Well

 Been using Discoloration Defense for over 2 years and it’s done a good job at lightening most face discoloration for me; reason for 4 stars. I’d give it 5 stars if it took care of all my face discoloration. Easy to use, pleasant smell and because of the slight color it instantly makes the skin brighter and more even toned.

A must in my cabinet

This pairs well with skinceuticals phloretin cf!  I have sensitive skin and it doesn’t both me.  Just one thing…it smells like hotdog juice🤮

Amazing

This product is great for KP and is also fantastic at removing self-tanner that's a bit stubborn (I let the profuct sit on my skin for a bit longer than recommend) and use a gentle exfoliating to wipe it off. 10 out of 10 for this product
