Science & proof

Everyday elements—including UV exposure, prescription drugs, and some professional treatments—can trigger production of melanin in the skin’s 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 diffuse discoloration, post-acne marks, and stubborn brown patches on the cheekbones, forehead, and upper lip.

Discoloration Defense Serum is the latest-generation dark spot corrector, using a combination of potent and proven anti-discoloration ingredients—including new tranexamic acid—to address key types of skin discoloration.

    Good for dark spots or dark patches

    I have just started using it 2 weeks back. No bad reaction. Dries very fast.Started to reduce some of my dark patches of the face, fading gradually.<br/>Will use the entire bottle and then will have a better idea if it works.<br/>On the whole I have been using Skin Ceuticals products for over a year and like most of them, they work. So I am thinking this should too. Hope this will be the best anti-dark spot serum that my skin will need.

    Good to remove dark spots

    I have been using this product for about 3 weeks and my skin does appear to be more even. I use in the morning and evening after CE ferulic. Very hopeful and excited to see how this can help reduce dark spots on my face after the 12 weeks.

    Promising Results

    I have been using this for 3 weeks now, in the morning after applying C E Ferulic and every night. I have laser to remove melasma on my cheeks and so far this product has seemed to help keep remove brown spots on my face. I've noticed the most improvement in reducing post-acne marks and also evening out my uneven skin tone. I have oily skin and a lot of serums make my skin look shiny but this one soaks right into my skin, which I love. Overall, I like this product and will continue to use it. Best brightening serum that I have used so far.

    Good serum to reduce hyperpigmentation

    I tried a sample of this on the advice of my derm, after I had my most recent laser to remove pigmentation. She said this would help maintain the results. I've been using the C E Ferulic for a few years along with the Physical Fusion SPF. Seems to be a good solution to remove post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and reduce acne scars.

    Promising! Improve uneven skin tone

    Tried a sample. After only two weeks I am noticing dark spots fading. Pleasantly surprised!!! Figured it would take at least 4-6 weeks of use. Using four drops twice daily and will continue to do so!!! Very impressed so far! Hopeful this can get rid of pigmentation on my face and improve my uneven skin tone!
