SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense 1 fl oz

Skin Discoloration & Dark Spot Correcting Serum

Discoloration Defense is a layerable, daily-use dark spot corrector clinically proven to reduce the appearance of key types of skin discoloration in all skin tones, including hard-to-treat forms such as stubborn brown patches and post-acne marks. Formulated with 3% tranexamic acid, 1% kojic acid, 5% niacinamide, and 5% HEPES, this serum for dark spots improves the appearance of skin discoloration, brightens skin, and evens skin tone in as early as 2 weeks. Due to the concentration of kojic acid in this formula, a shift in color is expected. This could lead to a light brown or amber color, but the formula remains effective. The inclusion of tranexamic acid helps reduce the recurrence of dark spots and ensures that stubborn patches do not resurface. Additionally, niacinamide, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, aids in reducing redness and blotchiness, providing a more uniform complexion. The synergistic blend of these ingredients not only targets existing discoloration but also fortifies the skin barrier, offering long-term benefits to maintain a radiant, even skin tone.
