EVEN IT OUT
If brown patches or other discolorations on your face have got you down, there’s something new to try. SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense ($98) features a combination of tranexamic acid, niacinamide and kojic acid to reduce pigmentation and even out your complexion. How? The ingredients work together to fight some of the causes of pigmentation, like the formation of melanocytes (cells that create the brown pigments that lead to discoloration). Find the high-potency serum and other SkinCeuticals products at the offices of local dermatologists and skin-care professionals such as the Woodruff Institute in Bonita Springs (844-485-0104; thewoodruffinstitute.com), Florida Skin Center in Fort Myers (239-319-4648; floridaskincenter.com) and the Laser Lounge Spa in Estero (239-728-1234; thelaserloungespa.com).
