Excellent for Maintenance

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I had stopped using this for a while, but noticed my dark spots were reappearing. I've since resumed using it along with Phloretin CF and the spots are definitely lightening up. I think it's important to keep using this to maintain the results of long process of lightening dark spots.

I've used thus product for several years and have found it to be highly effective overtime.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have found Discoloration Defense to be highly effective overtime. I saw discolored areas of my skin slowly become much lighter over a three month time period. That was after I found out that on my part, I had to be very consistent about applying it each and every each day so that It could work effectively for me. Presently, it is my Number One go-to for getting dark areas gently lightened!

Already noticing results after almost 2 weeks

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using it twice a day and already noticing results. It terms of skin tone I do feel Its brighter and more even. However I’m yet to see a change on the color of the spots so I’ll continue using it and hopefully see a difference before summer starts!

Dark spot correction

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

As I get older ation spots on my face are becoming more noticeable. Making an effort to do what I can to make them less noticeable. I have been using this product pretty religiously for the past month. I do think my skin looks better. Time will tell just how effective, it may be. But so far so good.

Unsure if it’s doing anything

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I think this does work, but it’s hard to be certain.  I’ve been using it for 7 months and my discoloration from acne scars seems to be a bit better in that I think the discolorations takes less time to dissipate.

Good product

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

You can’t go wrong with Skinceuticals.  Very pricey but products I’ve tried are all worth it.  Although this product did not take away dark spots it seems to have lighten them with repeated use.  Would buy again.

REALLY WORKS!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve used this for years.  Initially, began fading my age spots.  Later, not only eliminated aging spots; but keeps my skin clear of aging spots.

Discoloration assistant

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this product for over a year and it dramatically keeps the discoloration (brown spots) under control. I live on west coast and outside a lot and if i dont use this product for 2 weeks, it is a visible difference. I have used ever product out there and once again skin ceuticals provides quality and results.
