Seeing results!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm on my second bottle of this and I'm definitely noticing some fading where my dark spots are! SkinCeuticals is pricey but this product is worth it to me! I recommend.

My new favorite

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

My new favorite serum for hyperpigmentation. This product is expensive, but worth it. My skin has never looked so good.

Daily Part of My Routine

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this product, I struggle with melasma and have a fair skin tone that is susceptible to sun damage easily. This product has become part of my preventative skin care routine to avoid dark spots and discoloration. Highly reccomend.

Works well

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Useful, good for my hyper-reactive sensitive skin. I tend to tolerate very few facial products. Skinceuticals has been a life saver for me. I am able to tolerate almost everything in their line of products. Discoloration defense is handy when I've been in the sun and my spots start to become more pronounced. It works with continued use over time... But sometimes I see even skin tone, after two or 3 days, if I am consistent in applying.

Slow but steady wins the race

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'd been using another niacinamide without much improvement and decided to try this instead. A month in, I'm seeing considerable fading of my chin blemishes, but not much yet in the melasma patches on my cheeks. I'll give it another couple of months before asking my derm to prescribe hydroquinone or consider laser treatments. The product does work well after applying retinol at night.

Not sure - can't recommend yet

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bought this as I saw many derms recommending this for melasma - I have a bit of light melasma on my forehead and I have been using this for a couple of months and so far no improvement. I have very sensitive skin and I haven't had any bad reactions so that is a plus. Not sure I would buy again - it is a bit pricey and so far not seeing any improvements. I also don't like the packaging as it lets air in, and also is prone to spilling (spilled almost entire bottle accidentally of another product in the same packaging).

Not worth it

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

I don't see the slightest difference with this. I am frustrated given it is not cheap. Usually this brand is my go to, and this is the first product I hate!

Another great SC product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

It takes a couple weeks to see results and now I do! I use with SC Ferulic serum in the morning. This goes in quickly with no stickiness, which I love. A keeper in my routine! I'm 67 and love that I can make my skin look better with these products!
