550 reward points
Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense targets visible skin discoloration for brighter, more even-looking skin.
Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense is a layerable, daily-use dark spot corrector clinically proven to reduce the appearance of key types of skin discoloration in all skin tones, including hard-to-treat forms such as stubborn brown patches and post-acne marks. Formulated with 3% tranexamic acid, 1% kojic acid, 5% niacinamide, and 5% HEPES, this serum for dark spots improves the appearance of skin discoloration, brightens skin, and evens skin tone in as early as 2 weeks.
In a 12-week clinical study, Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense significantly improved the appearance of key skin discoloration markers
In a new 12-week study on deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick V-VI), twice-daily application of Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense demonstrated a statistically-significant reduction in the appearance of discoloration, post-inflammatory discoloration, and even skin tone.
One of my favorite serums for stubborn acne marks and melasma. My clients notice significantly less pigmentation within just 2 weeks after using this serum twice a day. They also love that it helps with dullness, works perfect after chemical peels and the fact that it can be combined with hydroquinone if needed. It also smells beautiful like coffee beans! It slightly exfoliates and helps with UV damage. I recommend applying this after an antioxidant serum.
Tranexamic Acid: a powerful ingredient recognized for its ability to brighten skin complexion and improve the appearance of discoloration.
Kojic Acid: Naturally produced by certain fungi, kojic acid helps improve skin brightness.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier and reduce the appearance of discoloration and blotchiness.
Hepes: Activates natural enzymes in skin to help break the bonds that bind dead skin cells to the surface for even exfoliation.

Missing Packages Marked "Delivered"
LAZ Skincare cannot refund or replace a missing order marked "Delivered" if USPS Ground Advantage is selected for delivery.
If an order is marked "Delivered" by the carrier but you cannot find it, ask neighbors if they received it by mistake. Wait 3 business days to determine if it was marked delivered prior to delivery (but is not lost). If your package has not arrived within 3 business days of being marked "Delivered," file a missing mail inquiry with the USPS here: https://missingmail.usps.com/.
Returns
We cannot refund or accept returns of opened or used products.
Any item that is unopened, unused and in its original packaging (including shrink wrap, when applicable) can be returned within 30 days of purchase by emailing us at shop@lazskincare.com. If a return would lower an order total below the free shipping threshold, the shipping cost for that order will be deducted from refunded amount.
Products bought in quantities of 5 or more (of the same item) cannot be returned. Products that have been defaced, including stickers, cannot be returned. Products that have had a recent packaging change by the manufacturer cannot be exchanged for alternative packaging.
Any opened, damaged, soiled, or ineligible products returned to us will be discarded and cannot be reshipped out or refunded.
Adverse Reactions
We cannot refund or accept returns of opened or used products, even in the case of adverse reactions. If you have reactive or sensitive skin, it is highly recommended to book a consultation prior to purchase. If you have an adverse reaction to a product, we recommend you stop using it immediately and schedule a consultation to review your skin and adjust your skincare regimen.

Missing / Lost Packages
If an order does not arrive within 20 days, we will file an insurance claim and replace your order once you complete the insurance form that we will provide.

Incorrect Addresses
If a customer provides an incorrect address for shipping an order and that order is returned to LAZ Skincare, we can re-ship it to a corrected address as notified by the customer. Free shipping does not apply to this second round of shipping. If a package is accepted and not returned from an incorrect customer-provided address, LAZ Skincare cannot refund or replace the order. If a package is marked "Return to Sender" or "Unclaimed" by the postal service and returned to LAZ Skincare, it is the customer's responsibility to notify us of the corrected shipping address. Returned packages will be held 14 days.
If LAZ Skincare ships an order to an incorrect address (not provided by the customer), we will replace it free of charge.
Shipping Times
LAZ Skincare makes a best effort to ship orders the same day, Monday - Saturday. We ship orders via USPS and UPS and cannot guarantee a delivery date or speed of delivery. Delays from shipping carriers (due to weather, staffing, technology issues, etc.) are outside of our control and are not grounds for refunds.
Chargebacks
Customers agree not to use chargebacks as the primary method of dispute resolution when other options are available. Customers are explicitly not entitled to chargebacks on missing orders marked "Delivered" by carriers if they did not select Signature Confirmation as the shipping method.
