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.
Who is it for?
Discoloration Defense Serum is for combination and oily skin types and for anyone wanting to improve the appearance of discolouration. It is also clinically tested to be effective on all ethnicities.
What does it do?
This corrective serum is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of discolouration including brown patches and post-blemish marks with 1.8% tranexamic acid and 5% niacinamide. It also helps to improve overall skin tone and reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.
When should you apply it?
Apply 3-5 drops of Discoloration Defense Serum to the face, neck and chest each morning after applying Phloretin CF. You can also use this serum in the evening on alternate nights to Retinol 0.3. Do not apply Discoloration Defense Serum on broken or irritated skin.

81% average improvement in the appearance of post-acne marks

“I recommend Discoloration Defense between chemical peels- this formula targets stubborn types of discoloration but is gentle on my patients’ skin, making it ideal for an at-home regimen between treatments.” Dr. Sarah Sawyer
