SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense is a lightweight, layerable serum designed to address visible skin discoloration and promote a clearer, more radiant appearance. Ideal for all skin tones and types, it targets multiple forms of unwanted pigmentation, including brown patches, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
This serum contains a synergistic blend of proven brightening ingredients:
-
3% Tranexamic Acid helps minimize the appearance of stubborn brown patches and discoloration.
-
1% Kojic Acid supports the brightening of skin and helps fade dark spots.
-
5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) works to calm the skin and even out tone.
-
5% HEPES, an exfoliating agent, helps improve skin texture and enhances absorption of other active ingredients.
With consistent twice-daily use, clinical results have shown a visible improvement in discoloration and skin clarity in as little as two weeks, with continued improvements over 12 weeks. The serum is suitable for use on all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI), making it an inclusive solution for a wide range of complexions.
This oil-free formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and does not contain hydroquinone or silicone. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin but powerful enough to support professional treatment plans or standalone routines targeting uneven skin tone.
Directions for Use:
Apply 3–5 drops to the face twice daily after cleansing and before applying moisturizers or sunscreen. Morning use should always be followed by a broad-spectrum SPF to help protect results. Avoid use on irritated or broken skin.
