Did not notice a difference

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

I wanted to love this product, as I'm a big SkinCeuticals fan. Unfortunately, I noticed no difference despite using this product consistently for months. I specifically purchased this to fade dark spots and did not see a difference at all.

The Best

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

You must be consistent and use this daily with the CF serum but I have seen great results. It’s worth the cost.

Darker than in picture but effectoce

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using this twice daily for a month now and am seeing good results on my hands and face. Taking off 1 Star because the serum was considerably darker than in the picture but still effective.

It takes time

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product does work in fading hyperpigmentation but it takes consistency and time.  I used it every day for over a year and finally see my dark spots getting much lighter.  You have to have realistic expectations with any skincare product that doesn’t require a RX.  It can’t reverse the signs of anything, won’t show results within 2 weeks and cant work miracles but it can improve the condition of your skin and make it look better

Lighten scars

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use this everyday after the ce serum- I suffer from hyperpigmentation when I have any breakouts and use this to lighten up scars. It is really expensive that’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars.

Not sure.

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using the Discoloration Defense on and off. And honestly I don’t know if I see much difference in my skin. Maybe I need to be more consistent with my routine with this product specifically.

Melasma be gone!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This has been a game changer!! I have had terrible melasma and this has been the only serum that has completely faded it! I use it with the Skincueticals vitamin C and it’s a great duo!

Very hopeful

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I bought this along with the Phloretin CF from Skinceuticals in order to lighten some dark spots on my face. The reviews for this product are glowing so I am very hopeful! I've been using it for a little bit longer than a week and so far it's hard to tell if it's improved my dark spots, but my skin does feel much healthier and is starting to glow.
