Discoloration Defense

SkinCeuticals

A daily serum that helps fade dark spots and even out skin tone.

It combines tranexamic acid (3%, which helps stop discoloration from returning), kojic acid (1%, which brightens), niacinamide (5%, a form of vitamin B3 that calms and evens tone), and HEPES (5%, a gentle exfoliant that lifts dull surface cells). Together they work on stubborn brown patches and post-acne marks across all skin tones.

Use morning and night after your vitamin C serum. In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF, since sun exposure drives new discoloration. Gentle enough to use between in-clinic peels or laser.

Size: 30 mL
Best for: dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven tone across all skin tones
Use: AM and PM, after vitamin C, before SPF
Pairs well with: vitamin C, broad-spectrum sunscreen
Results: SkinCeuticals reports visible improvement in discoloration in as early as two weeks
