Science & Proof

CLINICAL STUDY

In a 12-week clinical study, Discoloration Defense significantly improved the appearance of key skin discoloration markers:

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

See Protocol

Protocol: Average results shown. A 12-week, single-center, clinical study was conducted on 50 females, ages 25 to 60, Fitzpatrick I-IV, with mild to moderate facial skin discoloration, including stubborn dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven skin tone. Discoloration Defense was applied to the face twice a day in conjunction with a sunscreen. Efficacy and tolerability evaluations were conducted at baseline and at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12.

Everyday elements—including UV exposure, prescription drugs, and some professional treatments—can trigger production of melanin in the skin’s lowest epidermal layers. This excess melanin rises to the surface of the skin, causing visible skin discoloration. Discoloration can manifest in a range of ways, including post-acne marks and stubborn brown patches on the cheekbones, forehead, and upper lip.

Discoloration Defense is the latest-generation dark spot corrector, using a combination of potent and proven anti-discoloration ingredients—including new tranexamic acid—to address key types of skin discoloration.

    It works!

    After having been on prescribed retinol treatment for 6 months to battle some stress-caused adult acne I was left with brown spots over my cheeks and jaw line. It was really devastating to see my once clear complexion full of these awful marks. I love skinceuticals and when I saw this product hit the market I was eager to try it. I am on my 5th week of use and I am marveled at the results! The very dark spots have faded incredibly well and the lighter ones are almost invisible now. I have been very diligent about sun protection, but I am truly amazed at how this product has worked. At this pace, I am sure that by week 12 my skin will look much more clear and I won’t have to cover up in foundation and concealers any more. Do give this a try, it is the only thing out there that actually works, believe me, I have tried it all. Thank you SkinCeuticals!!!
