Mediocre product
The reason I’m only giving a mediocre rating is because I can’t tell that use of this expensive product has improved the discoloration of my face but it has kept more discoloring from occurring which is some effectiveness.

No change yet
I bought my first bottle from my dermatologist to treat my brown spots and decided to try a second bottle since LovelySkin offered better pricing when there was a sale. Like the first time around, I found this serum to be quite sticky on my skin even though I only use 2-3 drops each time. There is no fragrance to it which is nice. The sad thing for me is I still have not seen any changes to my brown spots. It’s too expensive to justify further purchases when it is doing nothing significant for me.

Received sample love the discoloration defense sad to say
I received immediately started using it a bit early however the texture and quality appears to be not the same quality as the sample I received immediately I purchase a bottle due to I love the glow after using the sample I saw my skin was glowing. I’ve been using it for 1 week and definitely not happy with the product. I’ve been using SkinCeutical products for over 6 years. I wondering did the ingredients changed? I’m really not happy with this product

Loved the sample, results limited
I loved the sample, bought a full size and hoped to continue the color correction. The first week of using the sample, my skin looked a lot better. It’s been a month, and no change from the first week. Still looks good like after the first week, but no further improvements.

somewhat helpful
Though I haven't seen a reduction in current discoloration, it does seem to keep them from getting worse and hopefully preventing the occurrence of more spots. Will continue to use! I will receive a free $90 SkinCeuticals full-size Glycolic 10 Renewal Overnight Exfoliating Treatment for writing this review.

Minimal Results
My dermatologist recommended I add this product to my routine to address hyperpigmentation from tanning when I was younger. She said to give it plenty of time, but I've been through two bottles and the results so far have been minimal at best. I do think it makes my skin more sensitive and dry. Overall it's definitely not worth the cost. I will receive a free full-size SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renewal Overnight Exfoliating Treatment for posting this review.

Discoloration defense
I have yet to see a difference but I also have read that it works best when used with conjunction with a retinol. I would love to see my age/sun spots fade or disappear so I am hopeful. I do love skinceuticals!! I will receive a free $90 full-size SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renewal Overnight Exfoliating Treatment for posting this review.

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.

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.

Okay
I love SkinCeuticals and use numerous products, however Discoloration Defense is just okay. Hasn’t made a big impact on my sun spots.

I tried this serum and unfortunately it did not work with my sensitive skin. It made my rosacea flare. When I discontinued the product my skin improved and no more breakouts.

Average
I used a sample and it seemed to work well so I ordered it. Been using now for a month and I don't notice much of a difference, if any.

Haven't seen a difference yet
I have been religiously using the product for over two months now, and have not really seen a noticeable difference. I recommend you see your dermatologist for dark spots and see what they can do.

Too early to tell?
I use this product twice a day on a sun damaged area on my face. I have been using it for about ten days, mornings and night and at this point, there has not been any change.

Skinceutical Discoloration Defense
I have Melasma mostly on my forehead and upper lip and some small patches on my cheeks. I started using this in early September and have not noticed any lightening of even the small patches and spots. It is to be applied AM and PM so the bottle runs out quickly. Perhaps it takes a little longer than 4 months of using it, but I can't justify buying it again as it is rather pricey considering I saw no results.

I am not sure about this product
This product may be a bit too strong for sensitive skin. I have used it in the trial packet for a few days and my skin became red where I applied it.

Great beginning
I received a sample, that I chose, then hesitated to try it, afraid it might be too strong for my skin. I am 75 years old and as much as I love my SkinCeuticals products, and I use a lot of them, I waited, finally trying it and it worked great, no redness, no irritation, after completing the sample I ordered a bottle and plan to start it on daily basis as soon as my prior serum runs out, probably another couple of weeks. I am hoping it will even out my skin, fading spots and discoloration which is why I am trying it. Will keep you posted!

Not SkinCeuticals' Best
SkinCeuticals is a FANTASTIC line so please don't be deterred by my 3 stars for this particular product. The Discoloration Defense is newer to the link and the viscosity is thicker than some of the other serums. Having oily skin I feel the Discoloration Defense is a little much in layering process for my skin, even in the winter. I am going back to Phloretin CF which also has discoloration alleviating ingredients and is thinner.
