What’s inside (SkinCeuticals configuration)

1) Brightening serum — 

SkinCeuticals Discolouration Defence

Ingredients (key actives)

This formula is centred around a multi-pathway brightening blend including tranexamic acid, niacinamide, kojic acid, and HEPES to visibly improve uneven tone and stubborn discolouration.

Indications

• Melasma support (with strict SPF compliance)

• Post-acne marks

• Sun spots and uneven tone

• Clients who want high efficacy without a harsh, aggressive feel 

How to use

• Twice daily

• Apply 3–5 drops to face/neck.

• AM order: after your vitamin C antioxidant and before moisturiser/SPF.

• Avoid broken or irritated skin. 

The science (staff phrasing)

A layered, daily-use corrector targeting pigment signalling and visible colour irregularity — designed to be paired with an antioxidant and a high-compliance sunscreen to protect the investment.
