It really works

My husband has had discoloration in his skin for years and once we both started using this daily, I could immediately see the transformation in his skin - and mine has a glow too! Definitely recommend, a little goes a long way which makes it absolutely worth the investment.

Amazing results

Amazing results-I am using SkinCeuticals for almost 20 years. This is the first time I’ve use this product and it’s been amazing for reducing discoloration spots on my cheeks which is gradually. Over the years. I am 55 and have seen results in just six weeks so grateful

Amazing

Bought this after it was recommended for some small face discoloration and red spots. It has been amazing! So much better than expected. Now aside from the naturally rosy cheeks, the discoloration is gone and my skin is brighter. I love how lightweight and clean it leaves my skin. I apply it in the morning after cleansing and always top it off with sunscreen.

faded dark marks!

I use this in conjunction with Skinceuticals Vitamin C -- I use the Vitamin C once every other day given bioavailability and my skin's propensity to freak out with the use of actives, but I apply this morning (before moisturizers) and night (after lighter serums, but before tretinoin) daily because it is so gentle and feels hydrating. It has faded the sun spots on my chest pretty significantly without causing any irritation.

it works!

I use this serum religiously if I get a pimple that scars or anything along those lines. THe mark disappears provided that I use the serum 2x per day consistently. I have already repurchased the product once.

Good product

Consistency is very water like  It definitely did brighten up the area around my mouth  Is a bit pricey but you only need a small amount .

Works great!

I’ve used this product for years after my cosmetic dermatologist recommended it to me. Any time I have acne breakouts caused by my period, I get hyperpigmentation. As soon as I start using this, I see results within 1-2 weeks. I will always continue to buy this because it works great. I have combination acne-prone tan/light brown skin

Still undecided

I love skinceuticals, and have used many of their products for several years. I noticed a sunspot and was ordering Emollience anyway, so I figured I’d try the discoloration defense. I use it daily, as recommended, with my SC cleansers and moisturizers. Some days I feel like my skin tone looks more even and some days I feel like I see a shadow where I may have not blended the product as much. This effect changes daily so I figure it’s not set in stone how the product works. Overall, I like it. There is no odor, it absorbs well and appears to work. I will probably purchase this product again!
