SCIENCE & PROOF
An abundance of 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 frequent and visible skin discoloration. Discoloration on skin can manifest in a range of ways, including post-acne marks and stubborn brown patches on the cheekbones, forehead, and upper lip.
Discoloration Defense uses a combination of potent and proven brightening ingredients—including new tranexamic acid—to address key types of skin discoloration.
