Overview

Product Details

SkinCeuticals' Discoloration Defense is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration on the face. Powered by kojic acid, tranexamic acid, and vitamin B3, this advanced formula is a hydroquinone-free skin brightening serum.

Clinical Studies:
In a 12-week clinical study*, Discoloration Defense significantly improved the appearance of key skin discoloration markers on Fitzpatrick I-IV skin tones:

  • 60% average improvement in the appearance of stubborn brown patches
  • 59% average improvement in the appearance of skin discoloration
  • 81% average improvement in the appearance of post-acne marks
  • 59% average improvement in the appearance of even skin tone

In a 12-week study** on deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick V-VI), twice-daily application of Discoloration Defense demonstrated a statistically-significant improvement in the appearance of discoloration, post-inflammatory discoloration, and even skin tone:

  • 33% reduction in hyperpigmentation at 12 weeks
  • 34% reduction in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation at 12 weeks

CLINICALLY PROVEN RESULTS
Individual results at 12 weeks.
