I want my hands& neck lighter, what's the regimen I should use ? I see a lot of people complaining they got darker once they stopped usage.

It's not only that your skin gets darker when you stop usuage, it may darker than the original skin tone with prolonged usage of more than 2 months. I don't think they report all their ingredients

I have not experienced this even though I don't use this product like I once did. I still maintained a descent result and I'm happy with it to this day! Good luck

It's a little like a self tanner. I don't think you'll get as dark without tanning. It will leave streaks if you don't apply it evenly. But if you wear gloves it's fine:) I love it though!

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! OMG! Too Much!

Hi Teresa. I get a pack of those really thin see thru gloves that you get with hair dye and as I spray if it doesn't go on evenly I rub it. I find if I spray it on my legs that I am using the gloves a lot till I get the result I want. The rest of my body I am able mostly to just spray it on but it isn't as dark as my legs which is by choice and of course my back I have my husband spray it and use the gloves if he needs to.

I don't' know, just hold up to your arm and face and see which looks closest. I try to get closer to darker, as if I buy one and it is lighter than my skin tone, I look washed out. At least if it is darker you can look like you got some sun. and throw a lighter powder over it.

I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well. Boy am I sorry. I did not feel a mere "stinging SOME on the skin". I felt intense BURNING for hours. And my fingers are still all crinkly & 1/2 numb from the DMSO. My feet also are crinkly & weird. I will be sure to dilute next time... or put less on.. rub less... or SOME thing... but won't do THAT again. ;-)I recommend G. Tate's suggestion to use sparingly... ;-) -Sounds like full strength can be do-able, but go lightly on it... it just takes a little. It's easy to over do it, and then you get weird, burning hot, crinkly skin otherwise, for awhile, so take it easy! :-) I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well.

Im sure it will reduce the darkness after using it twice a day, everyday, for about 3 weeks....the only thing bad about is if your exposed to sun again then it will darken up again....another good natural source that I use also if fresh squeezed lemon juice, applying it daily. ..it will eventually peel the lop dark layer off ....You can Google it, lemon juice for the skin......it may actually be my new safer remedie , thats natural. ....

Hi, again! I did an application this weekend and left it on longer since my skin has so well tolerated the prior applications. The results were more noticeable and my darkest dark spot is much lighter. I think it's safe to say that in another couple of applications it won't be visible anymore. I did leave it on a bit too long this time so to prevent blistering I really do still recommend gradually increasing the time to minimize risk of any injury to your skin, per the instructions. Good luck! I think we have a solution. I hope it works well for you, but we're all different so it's hard to say. Take care. Hi, again!

I would start off with a lower bronzer like 25x then 40x first If your really pale. And then use this after about a month or even two of consistant tanning then you can do the 75x. You don't want it to look fake and as well as you could just burn. Hope I was able to help and good luck with your tan!!!!

This is to just give a glow, not too much color. If you want dark color I would try Sun labs overnight tan. It fades but give a rich color after... but will stain your hands.

sorry, I don't know, because I didn't notice the difference, I kept on using it because i like the way my skin feels and the product smells so good and fresh. I have been reading all the feedbacks, some said no change, some said it will get lighter after a month of use.

Of all the self tanning products I've tried, this comes off on my clothing the least. It's more the type of product that if you wear a white bra day after day for weeks, you'll probably find the straps starting to darken. It's not the type of thing (in my experience) that rubs off onto your white pants when you place your arm on your leg. I'm always cautious none the less. I have to say, this product spreads the most evenly of any that I've tried. In the past, I've used other lotions that I thought spread evenly until I see my skin directly in the sunlight. I then realize that I have dark and light patches. Rarely (if ever) have I noticed the patch problem with this one.

No! This is pretty dark out of the bottle and adjusts to your skin tone. I've used this for 6 months and have had no issues with my skin lightening.

I only ever use it on max power. Even around mouth and eyes. It doesn't bother me at all. I didn't even really have to work up to it either, except I felt it out because others warned it was uncomfortable. I use it 30+ minutes/day, too.I DEFINITELY notice the effects, and I love it!Not sure if it's because of my using it for so long at so high, but it stopped working after a few months. I called the customer support number on the website and they are sending me a new one. I MISS it! I feel like I look so old.

I started with the .5mm because I'm very fair skinned and slightly sensitive to begin with, so wanted to start at the lowest level and see how that goes. My first try, I pressed enough to feel the little needles, but not hard enough to make my face more than slightly pink. A couple days later I used a slightly more pressure and yes, it's somewhat uncomfortable but not so much as to stop doing it, after that time my face was pretty pink with a tight feeling for a couple of hours. Again, the third time and ever since, I've pressed harder (never enough to draw blood at all) and now my face stays red and feels tight for 4-5 hours and I have received a few compliements on "glowing". My suggestion is to always start slow and build up. And it's really important to rinse/clean the roller in alcohol after each use and let it dry before placing back in holder.
