The Science Behind Discoloration Defense
What is Skin Discoloration?
Skin discoloration is a result of excess melanin production due to exposure to environmental aggressors, inflammation, or a medical condition. Discoloration can appear in multiple ways, such as dark spots, redness, or post-acne marks. Discoloration Defense is clinically proven to improve the appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven skin tone in as early as two weeks.
Discoloration Do’s + Don’ts
DO: Use Sunscreen Daily
To effectively reduce discoloration and improve overall skin tone, always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
DON’T: Skip Antioxidants
Exfoliate and brighten skin while correcting dark spots by incorporating an antioxidant-rich serum like Discoloration Defense into your routine.
Treatments for Discoloration
Reduce the appearance of skin discoloration by combining Discoloration Defense with a professional treatment such as chemical peels or intense pulsed light (IPL). Chemical peels exfoliate the skin’s surface to reveal a smoother, more radiant surface, while IPL is a non-invasive treatment that penetrates the skin’s surface to target redness and dark spots. Depending on your tone and needs, either or both treatments can improve discoloration.

"I recommend Discoloration Defense between chemical peels- this formula targets stubborn types of discoloration but is gentle on my patients’ skin, making it ideal for an at-home regimen between treatments.”

How to Use Discoloration Defense
FAQ
Is C E Ferulic recommended to use after professional procedures?
C E Ferulic has been clinically tested and is safe to use after professional laser treatments. Always consult with a physician or provider for individualized post-procedure care.
What color should C E Ferulic be when first opened?
Upon breaking the plastic and opening, the color of C E Ferulic can vary, ranging from relatively clear to pale yellow to amber. Due to the active ingredients inside of the formula, the product will begin to darken in color over time. Please note that this does not mean the formula has become ineffective.
How long does a bottle last after opened?
It is normal for SkinCeuticals vitamin C products to darken after opening due to air and light exposure. The formula will remain effective. Once opened, with daily application of 4-5 drops to face, neck, and chest, it is recommended to be used within 3-6 months after opening.
What is the scent/smell of C E Ferulic?
We do not use preservatives in our products. Since there is no fragrance added to this serum, what you are likely smelling is the natural scent of the vitamins within the formula.
Can C E Ferulic be used with a retinoid or retinol?
C E Ferulic should be the first step as part of your morning regimen while a retinol or retinoid should be used as one of the final steps of your nighttime regimen. There is no conflict or issue to use both within the same daily skincare regimen. Please consult your skincare physician with any questions.
