Brighten and balance your skin tone with SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense, a dark spot corrector that reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure, medical procedures or acne.
Formulated with 3% Tranexamic Acid, 1% Kojic Acid, 5% Niacinamide, and 5% HEPES, the treatment targets stubborn brown patches and post-inflammatory discolouration to even the skin tone and help to minimise the appearance of future marks with continued use. In as little as two weeks, the complexion will be unified, radiant and visibly healthier-looking.
Suitable for all skin types.
Free from parabens, silicones, fragrances, gluten and hydroquinone.
Due to the concentration of Kojic acid in this formula, a shift in color is expected. This could lead to a light brown or amber color, but the formula remains effective.
Twice daily, apply three to five drops to face. For morning use, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum and follow with a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product. Do not use on irritated or broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Love it
This product is great! Lightweight and user friendly, my spouse and I use it daily. So far we have noticed some small fading of darker pigmented areas. Skinceuticals did not disappoint with this product.

So far, so great
I've only been using this a few weeks but I have already noticed that my skin is brighter and fine lines are less noticeable. I bought this product to combat melasma which is my main skin concern, so I'm interested in longer term outcomes but at this rate I have very high hopes.

Does what it says
This product really does a nice job taking care of dark spots and making the skin appear brighter overall. The only downside is that you need patience. It does take time to see results but consistency is key with this.

Can’t tell
I’ve been using this for 3 months and can’t tell if it’s working…I think I see some improvement in discoloration. But, I love the way my skin looks with it on, and my overall skin texture has improved.

Terrible Allergic Reaction
This may be a great product but for me it caused a terrible, itching, red patch, bumpy reaction. I tried several times with the same reaction. The irritation went away as soon as I stopped using it. Hopefully it works for others. I wish I had thought to ask for a refund as it's very expensive.

Terrific product
I just started using this product for brown spots and noticed a big improvement right away. I’ve been using Vitamin C ferulic and this seems to be more powerful with no problems or downside Definitely including it in my daily routine

Your Best Defense
Discoloration on your face can make you appear older than you are. This product has helped me lighten spots. This serum is amazing. I use it in combination with Phloretin CF with Ferulic Acid to treat dark spots and the results are dramatic and evident in a short amount of time with application 2X/day.
