does it help with fading brown spots

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.

Hi Elizabeth, Everyone's skin is different but it really helped my back acne and scars on my back from previous breakouts! My back is almost flawless after less than three months of use.

Oh yes, I have some dark spots on the side of my face and had even tried skin fading cream, no luck. Praise The Lord since I started using the elixir I have noticed the spots fading, actually you could hardly see them now:-)Hope this helps, God bless!

Answer here...It's a good moisturizer, but I would look elsewhere for a brown spot remover. I applied this moisturizer twice a day for a month and could see no difference.

I've been using the product for several months and my dark spots and melasma have not faded. I truly cannot see any difference.

It may lighten them after time but we do not have many testimonials to answer this one way or another...you might use it and follow up with a product known to help with dark spots

It fades stretch marks and spots gradually. Apply at least twice per day. Hope that this helps.

This product is excellent at fading melasma and hyperpigmentation from the skin. Used in conjunction with a bleaching agent (Kojic acid or hydroquinone) it is even more effective, they work well together. Make sure to be very careful about sunscreen use.

No this is not designed to remove brown spots unless they are precancerous.

It seems to over time. I have been comparing brown spots treated and untreated and yes I Do believe they fade but it isn't over night.

It definitely reduces/lightens brown spots/patches. But, it does not make it totally go away.

It may help but on a smaller scale. I would use a stand alone retinol cream for that or even a product like Ambi to fade dark spots.

No. But, it does moisten the face. I put the oil on before bed. In the morning, after washing my face and putting on a cream moisturizer, I have noticed a smoother look. However, it doesn't eliminate the brown spots. If you want that to happen, laser surgery is the answer to that problem.

This is very effective on circles under the eyes. It seems to make them fade.

I have used this product for about 6 weeks and find that it does not really fade the age spots. I have been onlinelooking for another product that will work better.

They don't completely fade away. They are lightened. And it helps to guard from new spots to form below the skin surface.The only thing you can do to remove brown spots COMPLETELY is to lazer them off. I have done this in the past. But depending on your skin pigment, they will return.

Yes, it will leave a dark mark that will gradually fade away; takes about 6 weeks depending on your skin type

Yes, my mom uses it and we have noticed a significant change. The spots are getting lighter, this product is amazing, however my mom uses it once or twice per week so maybe you will get quicker results if used 2-3 times per week.
