Not as impressed as I thought I'd be

For the cost of skinceuticals products I expect strong results. Been using over a month now and not blown away. I think it's definitely working, especially when applying at least 3 drops, just not as fast as other brightening products I've used.

skinceuticals dark spot remover

I have used several skinceuticals products and I like them all. I have some brown spots and I have used one bottle of this skin discoloration defense and I can definitely tell it is working. I need to continue this but waiting for a sale on skinceuticals again because it is really expensive but it works..

Not sure I could see results

I wasn't blown away by this serum and I'm already using vitamin C that helps even out my skin discoloration. To me, it seems redundant.

Not an overnight miracle

I've been using this product for about five months to treat hyperpigmentation from acne. Some spots seemed to have faded a bit and look much better from how they did but they haven't gone away completely. There is improvement in my skin but it definitely takes time and consistently using this product.

Did not see any changes

I wanted to love this product, but after using a whole bottle (used once a day in the AM after my vitamin C), I saw no changes in my acne scars what so ever. But on a good note it never broke me out and the bottle lasted me a little over 4 months.

It works Great

I've been using this product for about 4 weeks, and my dark spots started to light it up. I like that it's effective but gentle at the same, no peeling or drying the skin either.

No improvement

I really like Skinceuticals products and I was excited to try this one. Unfortunately it didn't fade my hyperpigmentation. I haven't found any product that works though, so it might just be my skin.

Came dark orange color

My bottle was never the color in the picture, when I opened it up it was already an orange color (not even yellow) and now it has become sticky and is orange on my skin (doesn't absorb). I think I just received a bad batch or it was stored improperly, I wish I had returned it when I first opened it. Love the CE Ferulic though. I just think this product is not very stable.

Results, results, results!!

I have been using this for a good month now and my post acne/pimples have significantly faded compared to other products I have used in the past. I love this product! A little goes a loooong way! So you really can get by with one drop for the whole face.
