Does this really shrink moles and skin tags? Is it effective on fading sun spots? Can this be safely used all over body for these issues?

I was very disappointed when the unit ceased to function after a couple of uses. The second unit had the same issues so I'm not sure why. However, I don't believe it will shrink moles and skin tags, I would highly suggest you visit your dermatologist for a professional opinion.

Nope I've been using it for the past 6 months it's done nothing, it didnt even combat the usual slight skin darkening I go through due to the Florida summer sun. Everyone is reacts differently but that's been my experience.

That I don't know. It has only been used to lighten or eliminate dark spots. There is a product, that you can purchase in a CVS, Rite Aid etc., that is supposed to eliminate scars. I ran across it by chance looking for sun screen.

Of course not---nothing can shrink pores. If you have big pores you will always have big pores. Your pores can LOOK smaller if they are clean, and this product will help clean your pores and exfoliate dead cell build-up if you use it on a regular basis. I use it on my temple area and on the back of my arms so I don't get little bumps and it has done wonders for me.

I would honestly recmend getting it checked out by a dermatologist. TRUST me when i tell you this does not work for everyone and you rather be safe than sorry. this product burned peeled and even darkended my already dark underarms. It is NOT worth trying it out

It will remove the mole, but I am not sure if it will leave a mark in the end. I just removed 3 on my face and it is better than having the mole, but the skin has not returned to normal yet. I am not sure if it will and if it does, how long well it take.

My plastic surgeon said it works for some but not others. Neither the sheets nor the gel worked for me, but not because I didn't give it several weeks. I tried other products as well. It's definitely worth trying, because it really does work for a good number of people. ^Thanks for that snippet about having success with the dermatologist. I was feeling skeptical about it, seeing that it too has mixed results. (BTW: I realize my answer is far too late for the original person posting the question. Just figured subsequent readers could benefit.)

The "tanning" part can rub off on your clothing if you go to thick with it. It takes a week or so to reach it's maximum color, and can be kept up with less frequent application. It really does give a nice glow to the skin.You have to be paying attention to how and where you apply this to prevent streaks, and avoid brown palms etc. It does improve the appearance of your skin. Because it does require some attention while applying, I would not recommend this as a quick apply and go daily cream.

Yes, it does really work. I am always skeptical of things that sound to good to be true. Tag Away worked very well for me. I applied it once a day and let it air dry a bit before getting dressed. Be sure to avoid brushing it on surrounding skin because it will cause some discomfort. Keep it on skin tag only. I heard that there is another off brand but stick with the Tag Away. It does take several days for the tag to fall off and it can get very sensitive as it dries...like a scab would. Be patient and you should be pleased with the result.

It's for lightening dark spots, you don't put it all over your face, just where the dark spots are. A little goes a long way. I got it from a skincare ska where I was getting microdermabrasion the first time but it was just about half the price from amazon. It works but you have to be diligent about it.

I have not applied it to my face because my face is ultra sensitive!! I cant even wear sunscreen for faces only because it breaks me out. But,I could see where it would work great because it glides on so evenly and silky. Especially if you applied it with a facial moisturizer. You'd get subtle color immediately and a darker tan in several hours. Don't let the color or consistency freak you out when pumping it out of the bottle!!

We bought this and used it last summer on our family- all of us burned even though we applied it several times! You can tan through all sunscreens- but I would choose a different one for protection against burning.

This did work on my dark age spots, I don't know if it would work on freckles. However I would caution against spreading over large area, like a freckle patch. This got rid of my spots, but initially I spread it generously around the area, and it really made the area red (like a sunburn, and even peeled). Now I just use it in very concentrated, direct spots. I have pale, fair skin.

Hi Elizabeth, Unfortunately, it does not work with fading brown spots. It really is just awesome for dry skin and getting rid of the red spots and ingrowns. I'm Asian and have hyper-pigmentation. My dermatologist prescribed Obagi's #3 Clear. It contains 4% hydroquinone. There is a lot of controversy over hydroquinone, but it works. The Obagi #3 Clear is prescription only, but there's another brand that is 2% hydroquinone you can buy over the counter. It is significantly cheaper than Obagi. You get what you pay for though. Another great product that is prescription only is a retinol called tretinoin. It is your do it all cream/gel. It prevents wrinkles, it helps with fading dark spots, it helps with acne and etc. Whenever you see products that says "retinol," it is a relative of tretinoin. My dermatologist explained all of this to me because I was asking about a good serum to buy. I told her I wanted one with a retinol in it and helps fade dark spots. I was just wasting money on these $100/1oz bottles of serum, when I already had the best stuff. I had the best retinol and the best fading cream. There is a site that sells the Obagi #3 for $65 without a prescription, but I think you should consult with your dermatologist before using it.

While I believe it's more for indoor, I used it a few times outdoor last year and felt it enhanced my tan deeper..Alternating with my outdoor tanning oil. BTW, I'm NOT an outdoor tanner other than an hr at most a couple times a week at best. But, I was extremely dark. To my knowledge, there is no sunscreen in it at all, so be careful if you burn easy.

I am not a doctor, so I cannot advise regarding your question, however, I can tell you that I have very sensitive skin and have been using this product for over 15 years for age spots. You must use it twice a day,give it time (perhaps 2 to 4 weeks), wear sunscreen and a hat when outdoors for a period of time. It does not stop the spots from reappearing, but, again, if you use it twice daily and following the rest of my advice, it does lighten the spot (in my case, age spots) significantly. I recommend you get the advice of a dematologist before using.

Initially when I used this product, I applied on my pigmented part of my face once fortnightly, as time goes by, I reduced it to once a month as the skin becomes thinner (could be due to the peeling effect) I am not so sure about liver spots, you could start trying on a small area as the skin on our hands is not as sensitive as our face, so it can actually tolerate better. Other than the acid peel, I used Rectinol A cream as well and lots of sunblock. My pigmentation on the face did fade lighter, but you have to be consistent to use it.
