CLINICAL Discoloration Repair Serum

Leaves skin very hydrated and has a beautiful milky, light texture. I use this in combo with their Vitamin C serum and notice an immediate impact in brightening and evening of my complexion. The two serums are my morning routine. I use tretinoin nightly. No irritation or acne flares.

« Game changer »

I have tried every product under the sun for my acne scars (milk marvel, lactic acid, azelaic acid, good molecules discoloration serum, retinol, niacinamide toner) and nothing has worked before this. I saw changes in my long-term acne scars in two days. I was so shocked and impressed with the results! I am Indian (tan skin, black hair, brown eyes) with dark acne scars on both sides of my face.

« Waste of time & money »

I like most of PC’s products, but this one was a total waste of time and money. For 16 weeks I applied this serum consistently every day to 4 areas of discoloration; most days I applied it twice. I did not see any improvement in any of the areas. Very disappointing!

« Works, but made me break out »

I recently ran out of Paula’s Choice 20% Niacinamide and the C Booster (both of which are excellent at lightening discoloration and didn’t break me out at all), and so the timing was perfect when I saw this new serum and decided to try it out instead of replacing those other two serums. Like other reviews mention, this is a lightweight feeling serum, absorbs quickly, does seem to work, but after trying it 3 times on clean skin and getting blemishes, I unfortunately have to return it. I’m not sure what made this product not work for me when the other two did, but in comparing the ingredients I did notice this one has a number of oils in it, which is an ingredient type I try to avoid as my skin can be acne-prone. Not sure if that’s what did it, this may work well for others, but as for me I’ll be returning it.

« AMAZING!! »

This has to be one of the best serums I’ve used for hyperpigmentation! My dark spots have faded almost completely!!! This is my holy grail I will forever use this serum. I hope they never change the formula. My skin tone is around a NC47 oily acne prone skin type.

« Game Changer »

Serum that brightens and fades hyperpigmentation. I saw subtle results in about a week or so. I will also try the other products since I was so impressed!

I decided to purchase this after reading the reviews and knowing the ingredients in this serum are effective in lightening dark spots. In conjunction with using other serums that help lighten dark spots like vitamin c, AHAs, and retinol, I am convinced incorporating this into my skincare routine has lightened these two pesky sun spots on my cheek that were annoying me. I used to have to layer on more concealer or bb cream on the spots to cover them but now I need one layer to diffuse and cover them well. The key to this product and any other for the matter is to be consistent and GIVE IT TIME. Be good about exfoliation (not too much and not too little), serum usage, moisturizing, and sunscreen during the day, rain or shine.

I can not get over how amazing this product made my skin feel. Not only has it helped immensely with fading dark spots but it has made my overall complexion much more even and bright. There is still progress to be made but wow I am so impressed!

« Great product! »

I was recently gifted a bottle of Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum and it has become a favorite of mine. The texture is super smooth, and after using it twice a week for 2 weeks, my skin tone looks so much more even. My only real complaint is how sensitive it made my skin to the sun. I really had to slather on the sunblock after using it.

« No improvement »

I am so confused by all of the good reviews. I used this religiously and saw zero improvement in my skin. It may honestly have gotten worse.

« Takes longer to see results »

I love anything that claims to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots. I have natural freckles on my face and after pregnancy there were areas that formed dark spots. I was super excited to try this product because if the claims and because I’ve heard so many great things about this brand. As of right now, 2 weeks into using this serum, I haven’t seen any drastic results other than the fact that the complexion does appear brighter. I really like how comfortable this feels on the skin. Its gentle and lightweight milky texture absorbs nicely. It’s working well layered with other serums too. It’s been gentle enough to use daily but I only use it at night, personal preference. I will finish the bottle and hopefully my dark spots will get lighter over time.

Disappointed, the Peter Thomas Roth clinical works much better for sun spots.

« safe for sensitive skin »

I was gifted this product from the brand, Paula’s Choice to try and review! For the last few days I’ve been using this serum right around my cheek area, upper lip, and on my forehead, that’s where my dark spots are more visible. So far this serum has not broken me out, and it applies really nicely, and it layers well too. It’s perfect for sensitive skin types like me. The serum’s consistency is light and spreadable, a little goes a long way. I hope that with consistency, along with sun protection I continue to see some brightening results.

« Great for dark spots! »

This is a miracle in a bottle!! I have a lot of dark spots and post acne darkness as well and this has really been making such a huge difference in the way they look! My skin is acne prone, sensitive and also very dry and this hasn’t caused any issues!! The texture is almost like a very light weight sheer lotion, it’s quite nice feeling. I started to use this nightly just a few times a week and then now I use it once daily but will build my way up to twice daily. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this product!

« Every morning and night. Follow with spf! »

I got really bad cystic acne, once the acne went away I was left with really dark acne scars. I started using this product about 3-4 weeks ago, and they’ve healed so much!!!
