Why We Love It at Le Petit Spa
Discoloration Defense is one of our most requested recommendations for clients working on post-acne marks and sun-related discoloration. Its blend of tranexamic acid, kojic acid, and niacinamide works gently but visibly, brightening tone without the irritation some hydroquinone alternatives cause. We love that it's gentle enough for daily, long-term use.

2. In the morning, apply after a vitamin C serum and follow with SPF 50+ sunscreen.
3. Use twice daily, avoiding broken or irritated skin.
4. Limit sun exposure while using this product.

After a Peel or Treatment
Can I use Discoloration Defense after a peel or treatment?
This contains exfoliating ingredients, so give your skin time first. After a glycolic, salicylic or SkinCeuticals peel, wait about a week. After an Environ Cool Peel, BioRePeel (Rejuvenation Peel) or microchanneling, wait until your esthetician confirms your skin has calmed. After dermaplaning or microdermabrasion, wait at least 2 days. Every treatment is different, so always follow the aftercare instructions from your esthetician, patch test first, and stop using it if irritation lasts.
