SkinCeuticals' Discoloration Defense is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration on the face. Powered by kojic acid, tranexamic acid and vitamin B3, this advanced formula is a hydroquinone-free skin brightening serum.

• 3% Tranexamic Acid: minimizes the recurrence of discoloration and stubborn brown patches with continued use

• 5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): a water-soluble vitamin that has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration

• 5% HEPES: a synthetically-derived acid that activates natural enzymes in skin to help break the bonds that bind dead skin cells to the surface for even exfoliation

• Features a synergistic blend of anti-discolouration ingredients to reduce the appearance of skin discolouration, improve brightness, and minimize the reoccurrence of discolouration (with continued use)

• 60% average improvement in the appearance of stubborn brown patches
