Description
SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense is for the marks that won't fade. Sun spots, stubborn brown patches, and the dark marks a breakout leaves behind, especially on deeper skin tones.
Tranexamic acid, kojic acid and niacinamide work together to fade the look of discoloration, and tone looks more even in as little as two weeks. Keep using it and it helps stop spots coming back. Three to five drops, morning and night.
Fragrance-free and hydroquinone-free. Suits every skin type, including sensitive.
