Your stubborn dark spots need more than a surface fix. SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense targets post-acne marks, sun damage, and melasma with clinical-grade tranexamic acid and niacinamide. This serum interrupts pigment formation at the source, giving you visible results in weeks.
Key Benefits
- Fades post-acne marks: Tranexamic acid blocks signals that trigger excess melanin
- Brightens uneven tone: Niacinamide reduces pigment transfer and strengthens your skin barrier
- Smooths texture: HEPES gently resurfaces to enhance active absorption
- Targets stubborn discoloration: Multi-pathway formula works on melasma, sun spots, and hormonal dark patches
- Safe for daily use: Non-irritating formula suitable for morning and evening application
Key Ingredients
Tranexamic Acid (1.8%): Interrupts melanin production signals to stop dark spots before they form. Niacinamide (5%): Brightens your complexion while strengthening the moisture barrier. HEPES (5%): A gentle acid that resurfaces your skin and primes it for deeper ingredient penetration. These three actives work together to address discoloration from multiple angles, delivering visible clarity in 4-6 weeks.
How to Use
Apply 3-5 drops to clean, dry skin morning and evening. Press gently into your face, neck, and decollete, focusing on areas with dark spots or uneven tone. Wait one minute before applying moisturizer. In the morning, always follow with broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen. Limit direct sun exposure during treatment for best results.
