Skinceuticals: Discoloration Defense

$98.00

This daily glow Vitamin C has advanced environmental protection and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, and brightens skin's complexion. Now clinically proven to reduce combined oxidative damage from free radicals generated by UV, Ozone, and Diesel Exhaust by up to 41%.

This high performing serum is meant for daily dark spot correctors. It’s clinically proven to reduce the appearance of many types of skin discoloration in all skin tones, including hard-to-treat pigment such as stubborn brown patches and post-acne marks.

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.
