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.

Good product
It seems to be helping my hyperpigmentation, although only after prolonged use.

Melasma Help
This helps with melasma and to maintain clear skin without discoloration. However, there are other products such as cyspera that actually gets rid of any type of discoloration. With consistent use, it helps, but it should not be the only product used. It won’t get rid of discoloration like prescription products.

Noticeable Improvement
This product has definitely reduced my freckles and marks from sun damage. Several people have commented on how my skin recently since I started using this product that my dermatologist recommended. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that I do not like the glass bottle. I already dropped it once and it shattered. Had to buy a brand new bottle and it is expensive.

Skin Discoloration
A good product, that needs consistent use to be effective. I personally prefer hydroquinone RX for great results, as this will not work for dark freckles, etc,. But, I do use it daily. It is good with an effective IPL program for clear skin.

Still unsure
I had really high hopes for this serum because I love so many other SkinCeuticals products. I still can’t tell if this is working to help with my dark spots. But it feels nice and isn’t breaking me out. I’ll finish this bottle (my second) and see how things look before repurchasing.

Prevention of blemishes
This product does give my skin a nice glow when applied. It does prevent discoloration when it comes to blemish formation when you have a pimple but you have to have already been using the product prior to having a pimple and to have use it for an extended amount of time. 1.5-2 months or so. Trust me when I say this, I had no blemish when I had pimples. It helps calms and soothes the skin of redness from exfoliation. The reason I give it 4 star is that niacinamide opens up my pores even though it is said it tightens pores. It works in the opposite way for my skin.

Waiting for a change
I have been using the Discoloration Defense for about a month. I'm not sure I've seen any change to my skin but I'll give it a full bottle until I decide. On the plus side, the texture and "fragrance" of the product both are nice.

For the stubborn spots
I've been using this to lighten dark spots from acne blemishes on my face and have been noticing some lightening. That's great! I am also noticing it is helping to lighten the age spots on my arms. I hope others find this helpful as well.

So far so good
Recently purchased this product for the first time. Have been applying it daily as suggested. I do see some improvement even though I haven't been using it for long. Will continue to do so. It absorbs quickly and feels good afterwards.

Not quite sure
I use this twice a day and haven’t seen any results yet. I’m hoping with time I start to see the brown spots start to fade. If you know another product that works better I would love to know. Hopefully by next month I see some results.

Very pleased
I have definitely seen a smoother appearance in my skin coloration. While it is not a difference of night & day, there has definitely been an improvement and that is what matters to me. I have been using this for 9 months now and will continue.

My dermatologist recommended this product for my melasma. Been using a month and so far it’s helping. Liquid consistency and less is more.

Skinceuticals Discoloration Deffense
I use CE Ferulic in the morning and Skinmedica retinol 1.0 at night, combining this product in my regimen doesn't show much different. Maybe the other 2 serums that I use has given enough exfoliation for new skin to resurface that adding this to the regimen won't show changes. But this doesn't irritate my skin or cause dryness.

Second bottle
I’m on my second bottle and consistency is key! I can see that it’s working for my skin, some dark spot area has lightened up - slowly but surely.

Love this product
I always use sunblock, but I’m outside a lot. This product was a recommendation from my dermatologist and I love it!

Goes on easily.
I like how easily it goes on. I can then layer my other products on afterwards. Expensive but I think will last several months.
