Love this!
I bought this to see if it would help get rid of the dark spots on my legs (too much sun as a teenager)since it works so well on my face. I’ve been faithfully applying it twice a day for a month and there has been a definite visible improvement and the bottle is still half full.

No results
For the price of this product, I was expecting it to be more effective. I honestly noticed no real change in skin appearance after having used this, and was disappointed.

Good for acne scars and dark spots on brown skin
I used this in combo with the Glycolic Cleanser from same brand. Together they have helped lighten dark spits around my chin and jawline. I have brown skin and acne scars are hard to get rid of for me but this has helped a lot so far. It took about 1 or 2 months to start seeing results. I do like how this feels after it absorbs into my skin. It feels like it softens it.

Works well on my skin type
I have a normal to oily skin. This formula is lightweight, odorless and easy to apply. I have been using it for about a year. I noticed an improvement in my dark spots around my cheek by making the spots lighter in color. So spots are not completely gone but then the product does not state that it will completely get rid of the dark spots. My sister commented on the improvement in my overall skin tone (smoother looking). I will continue to use it as part of the my daily face care regimen.

Terrible product
I used this serum for about two months and it did absolutely NOTHING. I got frustrated to see no results that I ended up disposing. Definitely will never buy again and it is not worth that high price. It states it could help those stubborn spots well that’s what am trying to get rid off and no results. Such a waste of money.

Gentle
On the days when I’ve had a lot of sun exposure, I make sure to put some of this on. My skin hasn’t developed more dark spots recently, so I guess it’s been effective. It hasn’t burned or make my skin react, so that’s another plus for me.

Good but not great…
I got a sample from my dermatologist and then bought a full size when I had a coupon of 15% off. It works fine but does take a long time to see the difference.

Didn't help me
I really like SkinCeuticals products, but was disappointed in this one. After using the entire bottle daily, I didn't see any improvement in my skin. I don't plan to purchase this product again.

So far, so good
I am using the 'duo' (this product along with Phloretin CF) and so far so good! Very good for dislocation and it is Paraben-, fragrance-, and dye-free too!

I love the SkinCeuticals line. Trying this discoloration defense. Not sure how effective it is yet. Does dry out the skin.

Not much improvement on dark spots
I have been using this product 2 times a day for the past month but haven't seen much improvement on dark spots. Some lightening of other areas but nothing to crow about.

Works ok for me
I use this routinely to combat my melasma. I do get laser treatments every six months & using this in conjunction with the laser seems to help.

Okay
Unfortunately, this didn't do anything for my dark spots. Doesn't mean it wouldn't work for others! My spots were particularly stubborn. I do like other products from this brand!

SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense
I definitely saw lightening of my brown spots almost immediately. A good product. Pricey, but worth the investment.

In Like, Not Love
I like it. I'm not sure it works as well as I had hoped but it does do some minimizing of spots. I also have melasma so not all of my areas of darkness can be treated. The individual spots - non melasma related - have some fade to them, but it's not as much as I was hoping for. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Good but still stubborn sun spots
I like the discoloration defense and use it with CE Ferulic and other Skinceuticals products. It does a good job of lightening sun damage but the deeper damage then shows up more againsts the clearer skin. I have BBL treatments once or twice a year to go after those stubborn spots. Patience....
