Discoloration Defense

This is a great serum to brighten and keep brown spots at bay. I do have a few spots that haven't gone away, but this definitely lightens them. I love SkinCeuticals products.

Good product

This product is working on some of my discoloration but I do wish it was a little stronger to diminish them more.

More Than Just for Discoloration

I have been using the Discoloration Defense for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and I have actually noticed a subtle lightning of my dark spots. You do need to use it consistently and morning and night to get maximum benefits. Another thing I’ve noticed is my tone and clarity have improved too! That was a nice difference I wasn’t necessarily expecting!

Amazing results!

I have been using Discoloration Defense for a few years now and it will forever be a part of my skin care routine. I used to have sun spots on my cheeks, but this product has made them almost totally disappear. I only put it where I had the spots and it does a great job of keeping them from reoccurring. Love it!

Second time purchase

I purchased this again as I did see my sun spots, age spots and acne scars lightening. I am hoping this will continue and I will then give it a 5 star rating.

Not happy

I actually really love the product but Dermstore keeps on sending me older products which have turned color, that makes it not as powerful as it should be. With that said I contacted Dermstore n they were very very helpf n fingers crossed that I do get a new one from them!  So because of this constant problem w receiving Skin Ceuticals  darker than they should be I only gave it. 3 ⭐️

Works but definitely takes time

My dark spots are slowly diminishing but it took at least two months of use. Recommend!
