Can lactic acid work on surgical scars? ( not raised scaring but color/pigmentation scaring)

It'll help remove the top layer of the skin but don't overdo it or it'll cause the skin to burn by applying too much. I recommend to do it once a month for scaring and use a lightening lotion the rest of the time

Yes, it works with the scar as my husband got scar from chicken pox as well, but you can't apply every night as your face will burn and be more damage.

I'm sorry, my scars are a year old and very hypertrophic, so I don't know. As they improve, there is only the original surgical cut visible, but is a very slow process. It might be worth a try, I hope it works for you!

I am using it for my tummy tuck scar. I had surgery back in March and it has definitely helped. It has flatten out and it has cleared in a lot of spots. I am very please and will use it until I feel comfortable. I cut it in half lengthwise as it seems to work well like that.

Absolutely, for me it helped me with my discoloration a little faster, but they sell a Rapid Tone Night Cream as well which I currently use. Hoped that helped!

It is very gentle...so, if you are looking for a dramatic difference you might want to try something stronger like glycolic acid...maybe 20% or 30%. The only thing I have found that this lactic acid does is put moisture back into the skin. It did not do much of anything in the way of the hyperpigmentation I am working on to eliminate. I am not sure what you are trying to eliminate but kojic acid soap is working wonders on my hyperpigmentation.

My scar did lighten a lot with use! It came to a point though that the color was staying constant, so I stopped using it. It has continuously lightened on its own and looks amazing now. The Scar Guard definitely got it to a good point though. I guess nature took over after I stopped usuage:)

I believe I've read reviews for those who have used it for acne and it worked. I'm not positive tho. I do know I love the product for surgical scars and would HIGHLY recommend the scaraway products.

This serum does not clog my pores and it appears to me that the pores are much less noticeable. I do not have any scars on my face, therefore, I cannot answer that question. The serum will fade away dark spots. I have been impressed with the smoothness and brightness of my skin. Based on the results that I am seeing, I will continue to use this product.

This product is a "mild" peeling agent, it will over time and use gradually fade or even eliminate unwanted discolorations. The TCA is stronger so for something like a scar it may prove more efficient for you. No matter what you chose, you'll have to keep using it several times, you can gradually go from the Glycolic peel at 30% to the one at 50% and get more results. It's more gentle and safe this way.

You can use them, but in my experience they won't be as effective preventing scarring. They will begin speeding up the healing process, but since the sore has already scabbed a light red or pink scar will most likely linger.

I'm not sure. I used it for a scar I had due to having surgery. It made my scar soft but it was still visible and didn't see any changes.

If a scar is light, it won't change the color. It is to smooth out and decrease the appearance of the scar

It works best on new scars. If you have old scars, sundamage or hormonal pigmentation this product is not going to be what you are looking for. I would recommend getting a doctor prescribed treatment for more stubborn pignmentation.

100% Trichloroacetic acid: as far as I know. I'm used it to remove acne scars.

I know use 50% lactic acid which is brownish in colour. If I remember correctly,the 50% glycolic acid was not completely clear as it had a bit of colouring to it. You might try contacting Perfect Image at 800-863-9615 just to verify what I said is correct.

i've tried glycolic acid which ate my skin and scabbed me over, but when it peeled away, nothing faded. i also tried lactic acid which worked for my body but not my face. this worked for my face after the first use. BUT i forgot to use sunscreen and all my spots came back. use sunscreen!
