Discoloration Defense Dark Spot Corrector Serum is a twice-daily serum for dark spots that helps visibly reduce the appearance of skin discolouration, including hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure and post-acne marks.
-
Skin discolouration can be triggered by sun exposure, environmental pollutants, or certain medical conditions. These factors can lead to excess melanin production, resulting in dark spots, uneven tone, or post-acne marks.
-
Skin discolouration can be managed through a targeted skincare routine with the right ingredients and consistency. Discoloration Defense Serum combines 3% tranexamic acid, 1% kojic acid, 5% niacinamide, and 5% HEPES to help exfoliate and visibly improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and dark spots.
-
Apply 3-5 drops of SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense Dark Spot Corrector Serum to the face twice daily. For morning applications of this serum for dark spots: begin your dark spot skin care routine with SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum and finish with a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, and limit sun exposure while using this product.
-
Kojic acid is a naturally occurring compound produced by certain fungi. It’s commonly used in skincare to help improve skin brightness and reduce the appearance of dark spots. Visible results may vary, but improvements in brightness can typically be seen as early as two weeks with consistent use.
-
Kojic acid-containing serums, like the SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense Dark Spot Corrector Serum, are typically used twice daily. Apply 3–5 drops to clean skin in the morning and evening, and always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen during the day.
-
Tranexamic acid is one of the synthetically-derived ingredients known for helping to visibly reduce the appearance of discolouration and uneven skin tone. Tranexamic acid serums are often used to minimise the look of stubborn dark spots. Other ingredients known to brighten skin and help reduce the appearance of dark spots include vitamin C, which is also widely recognised for its ability to target visible pigmentation and improve overall radiance.
