Actually works

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

You have to be consistent with this to see results, but surprisingly saw results. It actually works. I found it to be a little aggravating to my sensitive skin, so I didn't use it every day, but spacing it out every other day made it work well for me. Would repurchase.

this is a slightly-thick gel, and is a touch oily. it spreads well. it dries mostly matte, but feels a little bit sticky. there is no scent.

Worth it

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have melasma and dry, sensitive skin. I’ve tried a lot of different products hoping to reduce or at least prevent my discoloration from worsening. This has definitely helped reduce and keep the discoloration more manageable. It is worth the price.

Works better (for me) than retinol?

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

As my review title suggests, I think the Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense is doing more for my discoloration/melasma than retinol. I started using Discoloration Defense about a month ago and I am seeing some fading on my melasma. This product so far has been encouraging.

Jury still out

Had higher hopes for this serum but has not been a game changer for me. Perhaps my brown spots are too deep :(
