Helps with Hormonal acne / scars

Blemish + age defense is great for anyone that has persistent hormonal acne or acne scars. I have dry skin and in my 40s and lately have been struggling with cystic type of acne as well as congestion. This serum along with the Blemish + Age serum has greatly helped my skin to clear up. I've been using this for about three months with consistent results.

Great serum for even skin tone

This product is great. It has evened out my skintone. I combine it with the CE Fuerlic and Hydrachloronic serum!

On the fence

One bottle lasted me an entire year, but even after that time, I haven't seen a noticeable difference in the discoloration on my cheeks and chin. I know patience is required for these products to work but I was hoping for more obvious results. The texture of the serum is nice and easily smoothed over my face. I'll likely try this again and hope any headway will continue.

This product works!

I have fair, combination skin with minor sun damage/discoloration and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. After 2x daily application for 2 months this product has lightened my dark spots by 70%, nearly eradicated my PIH, and evened out my complexion beautifully. As an added bonus, this product has greatly improved my retinoid tolerance. After starting this product I was able to increase my retinoid usage from twice a week to every other day without any irritation! With all that said, you do have to be realistic when using this product. It will not provide the same results as regular laser peel treatments or a heavy dose prescription hydroquinone cream, but with continued and consistent use it IS quite effective. Halfway through my first bottle my sun spots are nearly gone and my PIH is a thing of the past!

No big changes

I haven't seen any big changes in my dark spots but have only been using the product for 1-2 months. I'm going to keep up the routine for another few months and see how it goes.

It was only okay

I personally didn't see any changes with this product. I also use it in addition to my other SkinCeuticals treatments. I will continue to use it and see if there is any improvements.

Lightens dark marks

In just 2 days I've seen my dark marks lighten up before my eyes. My boyfriend also complemented my glow. This is a great product especially paired with AHA/BHA, retinol, and vitamin C. The three perfect products for treating skin and this discoloration product is really a great combo. I can't wait to see how the coming weeks start to lighten my scars and make me feel natural again.
