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.

Just ok
I wanted to love this product but I have noticed it makes my skin even more dry and I haven’t noticed an improvement in fading dark spots.

Not my favorite
I purchased this product in an attempt to lighten my melasma spots - they’re particularly bad this year (even with regular sunscreen application!). I’ve been using it as directed for 3-4 weeks now & haven’t noticed any improvement. Given that my spots are darker than usual - I know that it may take a little longer to improve but so far, I’m not too excited about the product given its claims to show improvement in 2 weeks & its price point. I’ve tried other products that were more effective within this timeframe.

Some change but not the results I was hoping for
For the price, I expected to see some brown spots fade; I really haven't noticed a dramatic difference. It does help with overall skin tone, however.

SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense
This product really works but is somewhat harsh on my extremely sensitive skin. I use it in conjunction with CeFerulic, but cannot use the discoloration defense on a daily basis. I use it once every 3-4 days. This may cause it to work slower than it would for someone whose skin can tolerate everyday use.

Some improvement
I've been using this product for over a year. I've recently noticed a slight fading of dark patches.

Mild Results
I have been using the SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense for about 2 months. I have seen a mild lightening of the dark areas on my cheeks. The product felt very tacky, which I do not like. I felt it sat on the surface of my skin and did not penetrate it. Possibly used too much resulting in sticky feel? I will not be purchasing another bottle of this product.

Still not sure
I purchased this product when it first came out, and I have now gone through 3 bottles of it. It does make your skin tone look bright and fresh, but I have noticed no change in dark spots that I have on the side of my face. I use it religiously twice per day. I would say that if you want a brightening serum then this is great, but don't expect it to noticeably fade dark spots.

Not sure!
I've been using it for a while. Have not finished the bottle, but have not noticed any improvement. I have melasma and may be this is not the product for me. I'll continue until the bottle is finished and review later. I really hope it works.
