Been using for a few months
I love the SkinCeuticals line. Trying this discoloration defense. Not sure how effective it is yet. Does dry out the skin.

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.

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....

Lightened some dark spots
I'm on my second bottle and I feel like it has definitely lightened up some heavy dark spots I had. I have a really bad dark spot above my lip which started to look like a mustache. I became very insecure about it because makeup just made it worse. I feel like this product has really lightened it up. It's still there but not as bad as it was when I first started using this product a year ago.

Great for balancing skin tone
As a woman in my 40s who spent many years in the sun as a lifeguard, I’ve been searching for a good serum to hide my sun spots and melasma and I’ve finally found it! My skin tone is now even and my melasma has faded greatly. In the winter months, I tend to get some redness/eczema, which this serum also helps with. So happy I found something that really works.

Still testing.
Still testing this out, its only been a few weeks. It does dry your skin, so use a hydronic acid with this. That's why I only gave 4 stars for the drying effect.

Gentle and clean ingredients
This product has clean ingredients. It take a while to see the result. This is my second bottle. It does a "maintenance" job to my skin to keep the pigmentation away especially in summer.

So far so good ... need to give it more time
It's been a few weeks of using nightly, and I am not seeing adverse reactions. My skin is looking smooth and even in the mornings, but it's too early to tell it's actually changing my skin. I am hopeful that I will start to see a difference after another month.

High hopes
I have been applying this to the dark areas on my face. After a few weeks I think I am seeing a difference in the depth of color. I will use this entire bottle and then see.

I just added this to my regimen a few weeks ago. Its goes into your skin nicely and doesn't leave any greasy feeling. I feel it's a little early to tell if it is helping with dark spots but I will let you know. Thank you.

Good but not a miracle cure
With all topical pigment products, your chances of actually eradicating discoloration are low unless you combine this with other treatments like peels, laser, AHA, retinol, and sunscreen. But as a daily defense against stubborn pigment, this is a good product, and I think some of my spots are marginally better.

I’ve had one bottle
I noticed a slight difference. Made my skin look more smooth and even. I think I need to try another bottle and use it longer to see full results but it worked I could see a difference for sure!

Great for use after laser treatments to keep dark spots from coming back.

Discoloration Defense
Recommended by my esthetician to use prior to and during laser treatments. Layers easily with other products and I’ve noticed an improvement in texture. Given that I’ve only used this serum for several weeks, it’s too soon to notice a difference in pigmentation.

Light but potent
Love that this is not a serum but a liquid... it is light but potent. Does not bother my sensitive skin. I find this to be more of maintenance product vs strong pigment correcting product.

Too soon to tell
I just started using this product and so far it has not broken me out or made my skin sensitive. I will continue to use this product to compare to others I have tried.

Helps as part of a regime
I go to a dermatologist who recommended the use of Discoloration Defense as one part of a skin regime to reduce my melasma. I am also using other products to lighten my patches but I can tell a difference in the texture of my skin using this product. The improvement in lightening the spots is subtle. Rating 4 stars because I think this works in conjunction with the other things I'm doing to solve the problem but can't say what the result would be if I only used this and not other products prescribed by the MD. It's worth a try, even subtle differences would matter to me.

Good but not miracle product for correcting skintone from too much sun
It will take time If your skin has discoloration from too much sun. I have 69 year old skin that spent my early years without sun screen or didn’t reapply it again even with a full day at the beach or hiking in high altitude. I also lived on a sailboat for several years and while I prided myself for always putting on sunscreen first thing every am as a ‘wiser’ adult, I often forgot reapplication. Now I’m trying to eliminate brown spots and they are gradually fading a little more each month with consistent 2x day application.. I’m not sure they’ll completely disappear but I have definitely seen noticeable fading from this product. It’s worth the money but be realistic and consistent.

Still too early…
The ONLY reason I gave this 4 stars is that I don’t feel I’ve used it long enough yet to really be 100% sure of results. But I can say with certainty that I love SkinCeuticals, especially the serums knowing they absorb so well to protect & heal the skin. It’s all about healthy skin to me & this company provides what it takes! Yes it’s pricey but I’m so grateful to LovelySkin making it a tad more affordable.

Nice serum!
The serum absorbs into skin rather quickly. I do see a shade lighter on my dark pigments on my nose. Excited to see the results with continued use. I have sensitive skin too... does not irritate my skin which is a plus! Definitely recommend. I gave it a four star because it is quite expensive.
