Best Product for Discoloration

Every time I get a pimple, it leaves a red mark behind. This product has helped tremendously to erase the red spots and give me an even complexion. I use a couple of drops at night before moisturizer, and after a few weeks, the spots are noticeably less red if not entirely gone. I highly recommend this product, even for the price. No scent and travels well!

Seeing results after only a few weeks

Loving this product so much! I have only been using it for a few weeks and I can already tell a HUGE difference my skin tone. Sun spots, old acne marks and melasama are fading quicker with this than any other product I've used. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Watch out!

This product damaged my skin! I had to get an intense peel to rectify what this product did to my face. I DO NOT recommend.

Not sure yet

I've used this x 2 weeks and haven't noticed any difference in my sun spots, skin texture or brightness. Time will tell it this product is worth the money!

SkinCeuticals

I have only been using the SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense for a week but I love the other products so I am sure this one will exceed my expectations also.

Unfortunately it made me break out

Ive been using it on and off for couple of months, and maybe it does help with discoloration etc. but it made me break out. i tried stopping and giving it break, and even stopped some other products i use to see what causes me to break out, and unfortunately every time i came back to using Discoloration Defence i was breaking out the next day. I tried liking his product. but its too bad, because i love and use CE ferulic and some other SkinCeuticals products too. And now I'm stuck with it...will have to give to a friend or something... lost money for me.

Purchasing now that I've used the sample!

Great Product!

My dermatologist recommended SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense for brown patches and uneven skin tone. I have been using this product for the past year and find it to be effective in improving the overall appearance of my skin. The small brown patches on my face have faded away and my skin tone has definitely evened out. It is nice to find a skin care product that actually does what the ads claim it to do! Definitely worth trying!

Not sure about this one

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the difference between this product and the Phyto+ and never really felt like I believed any of the responses. I used the phyto+ and it worked fine. But I decided to try this one because it actually lists the % for the key ingredients. I'm giving it 4 stars because I think it worked a little but I didn't give it the full 3 months. I decided to switch to hydroquinone because I was impatient. I would definitely go back to using it again in the future if I have more hyperpigmentation from the sun.
