Brighten and balance your skin tone with SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense, a dark spot corrector that reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure, medical procedures or acne.
Formulated with 3% Tranexamic Acid, 1% Kojic Acid, 5% Niacinamide, and 5% HEPES, the treatment targets stubborn brown patches and post-inflammatory discolouration to even the skin tone and help to minimise the appearance of future marks with continued use. In as little as two weeks, the complexion will be unified, radiant and visibly healthier-looking.
Suitable for all skin types.
Free from parabens, silicones, fragrances, gluten and hydroquinone.
Due to the concentration of Kojic acid in this formula, a shift in color is expected. This could lead to a light brown or amber color, but the formula remains effective.
Twice daily, apply three to five drops to face. For morning use, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum and follow with a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product. Do not use on irritated or broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Made such a difference
I've been using this for 4 months now and I have noticed such a difference in my skin! It looks more even toned and over all healthier! Just repurchased another bottle!

This works
I am a licensed esthetician and have pigmentation on my forehead and cheeks. I have been treating it every 3 months with BBL light treatments but it always comes back. Started using this and have stopped treatments. Great results!

Terrific Skin Brightener
I cleanse at night then apply Discoloration Defense. In the morning, my skin is noticeably brighter. I have used this for over a year and am now a devoted user.

Easy to Use
I like this product because it is easy to apply, dries quickly and works well with the other products my dermatologist recommends for my sensitive skin. I put it on and within a minute am able to apply my SkinCeuticals 2.4.2 Moisture Cream (the one with peptides), and top it off with JOURNÉE Revitalizing Day Cream SPF 30. The lightening is gradual, but I prefer using this product over using harsher treatments. The smell is very light/neutral, also good for me because I cannot use strongly-perfumed products.

Daily product
I have been using this product daily for about a year and can tell a huge improvement in my skin. Prior to using this I had very noticeable brown spots particularly on my left side (since that's the drivers side when I'm in my car). I started using it as part of the brighting system then over time added more products in as I saw changes in my skin. Now my brown spots are not very noticeable and are pretty much hidden under my face up (Gucci Westman foundation stick) highly recommend!

Helps lighten my melasma!
My dermatologist who specializes in melasma highly recommended this product be used during my skin care regime for melasma treatment. I'm on my second bottle and am seeing a significant difference. Well worth the money.

it really works
I use this with the Vitamin C E Ferulic and it's made such a difference in my melasma and other hyperpigmentation. All my spots are still there, but far less noticeable from a pre-COVID conversation distance. I just purchased my 4th bottle.

So far so good
I still have some hypermigmentation / melasma on my forehead even after some clear and brilliant treatments. It's the melasma that never goes away. I use this just to help combat some of the discoloration still there and to not get any more when I'm out in the sun. Seeing some difference but not enough to WOW. Will keep using it just to help combat the discoloration.

Great results!
I have very fair skin which is very prone to hyperpigmentation. I've been using Discoloration Defense for 6 months and it has been effective in brightening dark spots on my face and preventing new spots from appearing.

Every morning.
Consistency is key and rewarding if you use this product every day. My dark spots have noticeably lightened. This size lasts quite a long time. I use this in conjunction with Skinceuticals C E Ferulic too. Highly recommend!
