Your dark spots need more than sunscreen. They need a formula that blocks UV damage while actively fading existing hyperpigmentation. SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF 50 combines broad-spectrum protection with tranexamic acid and niacinamide to prevent new spots and reduce stubborn discoloration.
Key Benefits
- Blocks UV and fades spots: SPF 50 prevents new pigmentation while active ingredients reduce existing dark marks

- Lightweight, no white cast: Absorbs quickly on all skin tones without heavy residue
- Works under makeup: Smooth, non-greasy finish that layers seamlessly
- Supports post-procedure skin: Gentle enough for sensitive and recently treated complexions
Key Ingredients
Tranexamic Acid (1%): Blocks inflammatory mediators that trigger melanin production, helping fade stubborn dark spots. Niacinamide (2%): Brightens skin tone and strengthens the moisture barrier. Broad-Spectrum UV Filters: Defend against both UVA aging rays and UVB burning rays to prevent future pigmentation.
