My skincare worries involve a lot more than just fine lines and hydration. I worry a lot about age spots and hyperpigmentation. It's a struggle and I'm always looking for new products and the new SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense piqued my interest as soon as I read a press briefing.

You see, I mostly have my hydration issues under control. That was easy. I use products with VItamin C and SPF for antioxidant protection and further protection from the sun. But previous sun damage and hormonal issues have left me with spots. It's been something that I feel I will constantly battle. I spend a lot of time outside and no matter how large of a hat and sunglasses I wear and sunscreen I apply, the heat of the sun compounds to the discoloration of my skin.

For those reasons, SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense has been a really good treatment for me.

SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense is not your ordinary treatment serum; this is a high-potency treatment serum made to both prevent and correct ALL TYPES of discoloration including stubborn brown patches. I am talking brown patches from age spots, melasma, acne scars, the sun— basically any type of hyperpigmentation.

This new treatment serum is potent; it features all clinically proven ingredients in a very lightweight serum. And the serum works well with any and all other products in your skincare routine.

SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense contains key ingredients like niacinmide, kojic acid and a sulfonic acid plus a blend of other ingredients that work to visibly reduce stubborn pigmentation.

Now I have only used SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense for about four weeks now, but I am seeing a difference in my skin overall, especially in the appearance of the brown patches and age spots.

I have had two PicoSure laser treatments last fall, and will be having two to three more; these laser treatments have done a phenomenal job at reducing my age spots, brown patches and discolorations on my skin. I still have areas that need more work. As I wait to have the rest of my laser treatments, SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense has been a great help and I notice lightening in these areas.

I will continue to use SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense as an overall piece of my skincare routine.

SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense sells for $98 at skinceuticals.com as well from select physicians and dermatologists offices.
