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.
