Yes it really does work gradually. I'm dark skin and it's really cleared my skin up. But it works faster if you wash with the Caro soap and use the lotion.

Reading the pamphlet it indicates it would not work well on darker skin. It works ok for me, I'm extremely fair skinned with medium brown hair.

Yes, this product can be used on dark skin, only if your face is not "covered" in dark spots. This is good for a face with a mild case of dark spots. But use it in moderation over an extended period of time and follow the directions. For extensive dark spots, I recommend that you visit an Esthetician for a series of facials to correct your issue(s).

There is a built-in sensor to determine if this will work with your skin shade. Before the machine will turn the zapper on, you have to hold the sensor against your skin and it takes a reading of how dark the skin is. If it is *too* dark, the machine will not turn the zapper on because the darker skin absorbs (from box warning) "too much light energy, which could cause skin swelling, temporary blisters or could change the color of your skin. If you are African American, East Indian, Native American or Pacific Islander you may have a skin tone that is not suitable for use with the i-Light Pro..." The box has a printed skin color chart which shows the range of shades this system works with. The "brown" colors it shows and says do *not* use it on starts with a light chocolate color and then it moves to a much darker brown / black. Even the Amazon listing info here says, "It is intended for use only on light to medium skin colors and on naturally black or brown hair." Hope that helps. ;-)

It certainly reduces bumps on my face, but Im white. I don't know if black skin is that different. I suppose it depends on the individual. This is the only product I have found that properly stops razor burn. Hope this helps

My daughter told me that she has my grandson use it for his acne and she is happy with the results. I don't know if it works for all types. We mix about an inch in water and a soap foamer and use the foam to wash with. We collect empty hand soap bottles to mix it in so that it doesnt get wasted. You can use full strength too. I get compliments on my skin all the time. I hope it will work for you.

I'm not sure, don't see y it wouldn't... I have uneven skin tone and I used it all over my face...applied day and night. I noticed an improvement in the evenness of my skin tone too. I have to say it's somewhat greasy and siliconey feeling.... But hey, it worked for me!! Hope that helps a bit.

I have a pale skin tone and it works for me...but if the tint was any darker it would be too dark. The product is very thin and spreads easily, also the tone is neutral- neither yellow or pink... So, yes unless your skin is very dark I have a felling it will work. It's great to use 1st thing in the morning... Good luck!!!

Hi there! I really don't know but I really don't see why not. Honestly I tried only once as I have been traveling a lot. I panicked the first night I used it because my face looked full of black heads. The skin felt beautiful and moist the next day but I really can't give a 100% fair review just yet. Good luck

I don't have acne prone skin but this does leave my skin feeling super soft and if you have dark spots from acne scarring it will help them to fade away with time. Hope this helps.

Yes, it will work on any skin tone, both African American and Caucasian who want to add color, and yet it varies dependent on the individual. It is well worth the investment. I don't think you will be sorry if you decide to try it.

This product did not work for me at all as far as lightening dark spots, but I am Caucasian. Can't say what, if anything, it will do for African American skin. I used it for at least twice the time recommended and saw no results. However, it does have moisturizer in it and should not dry out your skin. Hope this helps.

Yes, I am African American and have used it without any residual effects. However, for my "hormonal" acne, I have not had a lot of success. Moving on to a 30% solution hoping for better results.

I doubt it. I didn't see any difference in my skin anywhere when using it. I won't be buying it again. Very disappointing.

No you cannot and if you are African-american or have sensitive skin i would not recommend this product. I returned mine after a week

Hello I'm African American. Yes the product works! I have using it for 2 months! My fine thin hair is growing in well and the shampoo dosen't strip my hair. However I do follow up with a deep condition and a leave in condition. My name is Evelyn and I'm on YouTube.. (MyNaturalMyChoice) Haven't made any videos in while, but soon I will return! I hope this helps.
