The Science Behind Discoloration Defense
What Causes Skin Discoloration?
Discoloration occurs when melanin production increases due to inflammation, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. This results in visible dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven skin tone. Discoloration Defense targets these concerns at the source, helping to regulate pigmentation and restore clarity.
 
Discoloration Do’s + Don’ts
✅ DO: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily to prevent future pigmentation and protect your results
❌ DON’T: Skip antioxidants—incorporating a brightening serum like Discoloration Defense supports ongoing correction and radiance
✅ COMBINE: Discoloration Defense is an ideal complement to chemical peels and IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments, enhancing their results and preventing recurrence
