Product details

Discoloration Defense is a high-potency dark spot corrector clinically proven to reduce the appearance of key types of skin discoloration in all skin tones, including hard-to-treat forms such as stubborn brown patches and post-acne marks. Formulated with 3% tranexamic acid, 1% kojic acid, 5% niacinamide, and 5% HEPES, These 4 ingredients each target a different step of discoloration formation in the skin, to fade and prevent stubborn pigments from reoccurring, brighten skin, and even skin tone in as early as 2 weeks*.
  • Fades stubborn brown patches, such as melasma
  • Minimizes the recurrence of discoloration (with continued use)
  • Accelerates cell renewal and enhances skin luminosity
  • Suitable for any skin type
  • Paraben-, fragrance-, silicone-, gluten-, and hydroquinone-free
  • Ideal at-home complement to professional skin discoloration treatments, such as chemical peels or non-ablative laser; always consult with a physician for individual regimen recommendations

Does the color of Discoloration Defense affect its efficacy?
  • The color of Discoloration Defense varies depending on the product batch, storage, and delivery conditions. This is a normal phenomenon and will not affect the quality and efficacy of the product, nor will this stain the skin. The formula of the product remains stable for 36 months if unopened and 6 months after opening (within the product shelf life). Therefore, please rest assured that the serum is safe to use.

How to use

Science & proof

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 tranexamic acid—to address key types of skin discoloration.
