Special Offer: Free $22 SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E Antioxidant Night Concentrate Treatment Deluxe Sample!
Discoloration Defense is a layerable, daily-use dark spot corrector clinically proven to reduce the appearance of key types of skin discoloration, including hard-to-treat forms such as stubborn brown patches, post-inflammatory discoloration, and post-acne marks. Formulated with 3% tranexamic acid, 1% kojic acid, 5% niacinamide, and 5% HEPES, this latest-generation advanced formula improves the appearance of skin discoloration, brightens skin, and evens skin tone in as early as 2 weeks.
Everyday elements—including UV exposure, prescription drugs, and some professional treatments—can trigger production of melanin in the skin'ss lowest epidermal layers. This excess melanin rises to the surface of the skin, causing visible skin discoloration. Discoloration can manifest in a range of ways, including post-acne marks, and stubborn brown patches on the cheekbones, forehead, and upper lip.
Discoloration Defense is a hydroquinone-free skin brightening serum that corrects dark spots using a combination of potent and proven anti-discoloration ingredients—including tranexamic acid—to address key types of skin discoloration. Ideal at-home complement to professional skin discoloration treatments, such as chemical peels or non-ablative laser; always consult with a physician for individual regimen recommendations
In a 12-week clinical study, Discoloration Defense significantly improved the appearance of key skin discoloration markers:
Paraben-, fragrance-, silicone-, gluten-, and hydroquinone-free.
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.

For the first few weeks after starting use of this product, I saw little change. But all of a sudden, a few weeks later, I saw amazing improvement. Kind of magical, just when I had given up on it as yet another waste of money! I'd say it's worth the high price tag. Hard to find a product that actually works on brown South Asian skin.

I used this while pregnant to combat some of my melasma. Works well’

I have had difficult to treat melasma for the last 15+ years and have tried soooo many different things without lasting results or benefit. This was one of the first skinceuticals products I tried and I am absolutely blown away by how well this product has worked. It has evened my skin tone to the point that my prior areas are barely noticeable and so much so that I feel comfortable not wearing a heavy coverage foundation every time I leave the house. I will never stop using this product and highly recommend their UV defense sunscreen as a complement to this 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.

This is a slower working product. I completed one bottle and found it lessened dark skin spots. I am on the second bottle and my skin appears to have a more rapid positive response

I do use this product from time to time. I don’t include it in my everyday skin care regimen. However, if I notice a darker spot starting to appear I do use for a while. It does seem to decrease the dark color. I recommend this product.

This product helps me maintain and even skin tone without any harsh chemicals. I try to use it every morning. After cleaning my skin with cool cotton pads (filtered water) I apply a few drops of this discoloration defense and check my phone, computer, yoga, have breakfast, etc. I let it stay on for about 30 minutes or more. I then wash my face with a mild cleanser and prepare my skin for the rest of the day. When I have more time in the morning or evening, I will put this discoloration defense under my facial masque. I try to use it every day to maintain and even, clear, skin tone.

I have brown spots and acne scars. Takes a few months but I’m finally noticing they are fading. Easy to apply. Little goes a long ways. It’s moisturizing too.

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.

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

when I was sent a sample, I used it for 2 weeks. My face was much brighter. Ordered a bottle and have seen no change since

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.

I am on my second bottle. This has worked at lightening my dark spots.

I have used this product twice. I have many age spots on my hands that I am trying to minimize. It seems to be working as advertised. My only warning…take off your jewelry. It will discolor anything around the neck and earrings. I am only wearing the product at night with my jewelry off. No more problems

I’ve been using twice a day for approximately three weeks and so far so good. I’ve noticed a slight lightening of the hyperpigmented areas. The product is slightly drying. I’m anxious to see final results when the bottle is empty.

Great product for dark spots. Love the result but not the price.

I’ve used this for several years as recommended by my aesthetician and it is not something you immediately see results from, but with regular use, there is gradual change. Highly recommend if you are willing to use it regularly!
