Just started

I just started using this in conjunction with CE Ferulic in the am and Retinol 1.0 in the pm. Hoping it helps with stubborn sun spots. Texture is nice and has not irritated my skin.

Great product

I like discoloration defense, but after talking to my aesthetician, it really does need to be used 2x daily and is more of a "surface level" discoloration agent. After CE ferulic in the AM, I mix a couple drops in with my HA intensifier. In the PM after cleansing and applying retinol, I do the same mixture of disco defense and HA. I am going to the try the Metacell renewal, which supposedly is a deeper penetrating discoloration defense serum (among other benefits).

great for evening skin tone

This product needs consistency to work, but give it time and it will work its magic. You really can't go wrong with SkinCeuticals products and they are absolutely worth the investment. Great product

The BEST and EASIEST

I simply applied this over my face for treatment of melasma every night for the past 3 months and have seen a 35-40% improvement in discoloration. Great product and worth every penny.

Great for Age Spots and Acne Scars

This product does an amazing job fading age spots and acne scars (of which I still get in my 40s thanks to unfortunate genes). It is my favorite product in my AM and PM routine. Like most Asians, I've noticed that the first signs of aging in my skin is age spots/discoloration rather than fine lines. This product is a game changer for me because it keeps those age spots at bay.

Working very well

I am really liking this product. I mainly put it on my melasma spots, and they seem to really be fading. I did slightly peel when I first starting using it, but my skin adapted to it quickly.

Excellent Product

First time ordering this product. Have been using it since September and it does everything it claims to do. My brown spots are fading. Use as directed and you will be happy with the results. Another great product from SkinCeuticals.

Works, need time

When I first started using this product I didn't see any results. It was two months later when the dark spots started to fade. The spots get lighter over time. If you stick with the regimen and use sunscreen.. you'll notice a difference. Just note that the spots don't completely disappear. Need to stay out of the sun.
