It removed a smallpox vaccine scar for me, so it might. Just take the end of the bar and wet it a little and rub the bar over the area pressing down back and forth for 30 seconds every day. It took about a month to work.

I have a hard time with dark spots as well. I think that a TCA peel actually is stronger than a glycolic, so I would say go to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon and see what they say about the strength of the peel. The glycolic acid peel is pretty strong and you're right , the point is to peel the skin. If you get a really deep TCA peel, the downtime is about 10-14 days, but it is supposed to really work well. I am too scared to do it because I get cold sores every time I do a peel like that. Ive gotten a few of the lighter ones professionally through my plastic surgeon and they didnt get rid of the dark spots either - my dr. said it was because I didnt let him do a stronger one. Good luck

I would say no on the nodules. I don't know about acne. I have roseaca and it doesn't help that.

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!

I had IPL (intense pulse light) Laser....the sun spots on my face turned almost black and then peeled off. I was told not to pick at it as is flaked off, but to use a littly polysporin on it

All the product states is that it will work on old scars, but no mention is made in regard to acne scars

OMG! Too Much! In the instructions it says only one light per (25 min) session and to let your skin heal for 24 hours in between sessions. Since I have acne and rosacia, I use the blue light primarily, then I use the red light for collagen production, every third night. I don't have hyerpigmentation anymore, so I do not use the aqua light. More is not prudent with this technology. You can create more damage by inducing inflammation. Be patient and use one light per night. The acne results you will see within a few nights... The other two lights, you will see beginning results around a month (on average and based on other customers and friends). Good Luck!

Hi! I recently bought a lightstim acne light (the one pictured) it looks lavender because it is actually a combination on blue and red lights (blue to kill acne bac and red I think is for inflammation) this is an older model, which is why the lights featured on the lightstim website are different. I have been quite happy with this purchase: my skin has definitely improved (I've been using it once or twice a day for the last 3 weeks) my skin really dried out during the first week but then improved afterwards, seems I needed to get acclimated. Hope this helps

I just recently purchased the Derma Roller. Included was a very thorough and helpful instructions and any questions could be redirected to Jen Becht. She recommends to be used once a week. I have been using it twice a week with no side effects. For me it is too early to tell. I have had issues for many years with deep brown melasma spots. So far the Derma roller along with the Vitamin C serum does seem to help with the lighter melasma that does not respond to IPL. I do like both products and am hoping for continued improvement over the next few months.

The best answer I can give is this. It will lightly resurface the skin on a daily basis giving you a beautiful glow. It also helps in acne outbreaks depending how severe your acne is. As for acne scars that are indented no, I havent seen any change in mine, I use lactic acid for this issue hope this helps.

A vitamin C serum will definitely help clear the dark spots and acne scars. However, this particular product doesn't have the correct Ph level to be effective (according to the home Ph test strips I used when I received my bottle).

Yes, it will emphasize the scars. I would try some of the Missha BB creams if you are looking for full coverage.

This product can help with acne marks. But just be warned that it will not happen over night. It also depends on your skin type and how fast your cell turnover is. It usually takes my skin a good month to show improvement when I mess with a pimple and leave a scar. I am 38 years old and have a fairly good skin complexion.

I have been using this product for two months, and have not experienced clogged pores. I do not have scars, but my sun spots have faded, skin is overall healthier.

actually, i stopped using it. i realized it works at first but then some pimples would disappear and new ones would form. as for the dark spots, your best bet is to let time fade them away. using any acne supplement will only provoke ur acne even more.

My son has Acne and I have used it for my face and it was amazing but I would search online to see what works best for your dark spots bc not sure if this would be the route but you can check with the ones that sell this product they might be able to help best bc I never used it on my aging spots.

It sounds awful, but it's your body purging. It's actually a really old thing because your body is finally pushing to the surface what has been trapped. If you continue to drink it and treat your skin/acne as you normally would you'll notice the acne will clear up and your skin will look renewed. Oh and don't pick at the acne!!! If you aren't used to breakouts, use a gentle cleanser and a salycilic acid based serum or cleanser to dry them up, other wise let them be!!Good luck :-)
