Rated 5 out of 5 by Momac from Great Serum I have been using this serum now for 3 weeks. It’s not an overnight cure, no product can do that, but I have noticed a reduction in the intensity of my discolouration. I have areas on my cheek and forehead which are always worse in summer anyway. I think with continued use this will definitely help even out the skin tone and stop new areas of discolouration forming. It’s a lovely serum to use, it’s hydrating and gives a nice subtle glow to the skin. I use good skin care anyway but noticed a clearer complexion since using this product. Definitely will be adding this to my skin care arsenal.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Finn from Interesting product I have been using this serum now for 4 weeks. The serum is slightly sticky on the skin but after absorbtion and use of moisturiser is not so bad. I have a few discoloured spots on my cheeks an a couple on my forehead and do feel that they have paled very slightly but not significantly enough to notice unless under close scrutiny. However I am hoping that with continued use I will see a diffirence. I am a great believer that the older your skin is the longer a product takes to work.My hope is that it will stop further discolouration. Will review again in a further 4 weeks if results change.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Pearly from Clarity I received this product 2 weeks ago I have suffered with malsama for 8 years now and I have tried every product available for this condition some help but as soon as I go in the sun it creeps back so I have to wear factor 50 even on rainy days. I found this product even after 1 weeks made my skin look clearer and brighter so if its this good after that short time I've high Hope's for a few months the consistency is also great skin feels hydrated

Rated 2 out of 5 by Ally from Didn't seem to make any difference I've used this once or twice a day for about a month now, and unfortunately I haven't seen any difference in my skin at all. I have a few dark acne scars and sun spots, but they're still just the same as always. I'm surprised as pretty much every other Skinceuticals product I've tried has worked really well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LindseyG from Great texture The texture of this is really refined; it’s not gritty in any way as cheaper niacinamide products I’ve tried have been and it has caused no irritation. I found that the colour of a cystic spot I had at the time of testing disappeared quickly so it appears to work well at reducing pigmentation, although I can’t speak to anything like melasma. I will continue to use it as I hope that the niacinamide content will help to redness and pore size too over time.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Joanna from The jury's out I recently developed a brown mark just below my eyebrow and realised it's probably down to not putting my SPF, which I use religiously, on that area, it just never occurred to me. So I was very keen to see if the defense serum would help. I have been using it alongside CE Ferulic followed by mineral defense SPF in the morning and again in the evening. It applies really nicely and a little goes a very long way. I have now been using if for a few weeks and I think my skin appears a little brighter but so far there has been no improvement to the brown mark. I will keep using it and hope for improvement with longer time. I'm also now making sure to apply SPF to the eye area!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Tazgraz from Not sure..... Only had a week to test this and I wish I could have had a little longer. I can't see any change in discolouration, it all still looks the same.... Also, can't make my mind up about the serum. It's a very light liquid and you only need a couple of drops, but when put on to the skin, it felt quite sticky and when I put on a moisturiser, it sometimes felt too sticky, not really happy about this. Also, during the day, my face would feel quite dry and I would have to add more moisturiser. Apart from the above, face did look a little brighter.....

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mia1 from It really works! I noticed a difference in the first few days of using this serum which I was sent to review. There was a definite brightness to the skin and clarity. It has helped to even my skin tone giving it radiance. I noticed that a few age spots have started to lighten already. I think using this product over a period of time will produce even better results. The serum itself caused no irritation to my skin and was easy to apply. It is definitely a serum I will now carry on using as the results were noticeable quickly. Fully worth 5 star rating.
