Discoloration Defense

Achieve a radiant, even complexion with SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense, a powerful treatment that targets and diminishes stubborn dark spots.

WHAT IT DOES

SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense is an advanced dark spot corrector that reduces the appearance of various types of skin discoloration, including stubborn brown patches, post-inflammatory marks, and post-acne spots. Clinically proven to improve skin tone and brightness, this serum works to even out discoloration and minimize the risk of future spots.

HOW IT WORKS

This multi-phase serum features a potent blend of 3% tranexamic acid, 1% kojic acid, 5% niacinamide, and 5% HEPES, which work together to target and correct deep-seated pigmentation issues. Tranexamic acid and kojic acid work to inhibit melanin production and reduce existing discoloration, while niacinamide and HEPES enhance overall skin brightness and evenness. Regular use helps to brighten the complexion and maintain a unified skin tone, with noticeable improvements in as little as two weeks.

KEY INGREDIENTS:

• 3% Tranexamic Acid: This synthetically-derived ingredient minimizes the reoccurrence of skin discoloration and stubborn brown patches with continued use.
• 1% Kojic Acid: Naturally produced by certain fungi, kojic acid helps improve skin brightness.
• 5% Niacinamide: Also known as vitamin B3, this water-soluble vitamin is found naturally in yeast, meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, beans, and cereal grains. It has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration.
• 5% HEPES: This synthetically-derived acid activates natural enzymes in skin to help break the bonds that bind dead skin cells to the surface for even exfoliation.

BENEFITS:

• Reduces the appearance of discoloration
• Improves skin brightness
• Minimizes the recurrence of discoloration (with continued use)
• 60% average reduction in the appearance of melasma
