Will this help lighten/fade any acne scars? Does it even skin tone?

If you use it dilligently it will probably help but I wouldn't expect perfection. I have seen some minimal results using mine, but I don't use it as often as I should...

Yes it does all of that. It peels away the top layer of the skin to reveal a more youthful and radiant glow. I use this with another facial cream that I have which is aveeno clear complexion moisturizer. I must warn you that the tingling sensation might be a lil overwhelming at first. But it cools down in just seconds. Mske sure you purchase an aveeno cleansing pad with an exfoliater to help peel away the dead skin in you morning face care routine. I hope I was helpful! Good luck!

It is my experience that regular use of this cream has lightened up some of the dark marks I have from acne. I believe it does even out my skin tone too. It's worth a try!

I don't really know except that it has lightened a dark spot on my face over the past weeks I've used it and my skin no longer looks blotchy... more even toned.

I am dark skinned, African-American woman my complexion is similar to a hershey candy bar or milk chocolate. Sorry for the analogy just wanted to be clear. I have not seen any whitening effects all that I do notice is that my acne scars fade away. Actually when I tan (yes dark skinned black people do tan we just get darker) it does not effect the rich even darker complexion I have but rather is amazing because the effects of laying out in the sun and drying of my skin are negated by this mask. I bring it on every beach vacation so that I stay out in the sun longer. It doesnt make my skin more sensitive to light either which is great. I am someone who would love to be darker and I try to be in the sun at every chance I can so I would not be using a whitening product ever. This did not effect my complexion at all. I use it as often as 4 times a week when my skin needs it. I have been using it for about 6 months now with no effect on my complexion.

I have blotchy skin due to acne scars. If I said lighten my skin in my review that wasn't what I meant. It evens your skin tone to it's natural color. The soap exfoliates and speeds up the natural healing process so that your skin becomes clearer much faster than with normal soaps or creams.

Yes, for sure and help minimize fine lines, etc. I have been on it faithfully for years and have more compliments on my skin than anyone I know. The "Clear" is what helps with the lightening. Hopefully, you are using a recommended regime. I love my obagi! Nancy

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Mostly I use it on my dogs. They have acne on their backs. It does seem to bleach their hair temporarily. I haven't noticed bleaching on my face, but I only have a few isolated problems sometimes. It is the same percentage as the kind you can find in drug stores in a much smaller quantity to try it. To my knowledge the only thing that fades scars it products designed for that purpose, but again you can try a small quantity first to see.

Yes it does! It improves the appearance of the scars and for wrinkles, I do not know. Only because I dont have any wrinkles. But give it a shot. It works for me. It might work for you too

I've heard it's doing it but honestly I haven't personally experienced much difference. It does help with marks and evening out skin tone but it won't be noticable quickly. U might need to use it for a month before you see the small difference. I am basing it on my experience.

I wouldn't say it lightens skin but it definitely removes any discoloration, blemish and keeps your skin glowing and looking radiant. Ever since I have started using this soap on my face twice a day for 5 minutes, people compliment me on how they have never seen a dark black girl with a face like mine. On other comments they say it lightens skin but I guess every body reacts differently to it. Just keep using it In 2 months I have gone through about 2 packs and given some away to Friends and family and I have not worn any foundation ever since. :)

If you are a dark skin African-American woman looking to become a light skin African-American woman I don't believe this will help you. I am a light skin black woman who uses this to lighten the dark spots from my pimples and it works for that, in about 2 weeks I see results. However, it has not altered my overall skin tone.

Yes, this product will lighten dark spots on hands, face and knees, and will completely remove recent acne marks.It works really well, better than any other product I have purchased. However,it is very oily so if you already have oily skin use a minimal amount.

No, it is not going to help you. Be patient and use sunblock, eventually the pigmentation should fade. If you really need to speed it up, see a dermatologist.

I spent at least two days trying to tan my arms and face using this device and I noticed no measurable difference in skin tone nor did it lighten any tattoos. For that reason, I would not recommend using this on your skin but then again your experience may vary. There are probably better devices if you plan on using this on your skin. (PS...it's a class 2 laser - which i learned after a quick consultation with a friend named Google.)

The scars don't totally go away. You will probably have to use it for a while. It did help with brightening and the texture of my skin.

I don't think it will clear any scars/dark spots, but a cheap bleaching cream applied on the spots will help. I get mine from a local beauty supply store.

Nothing I know on the market would remove acne scars...it dries up the zits quite well but I haven't had to deal with scaring. I'm sorry.

I have been using it on age spots for a couple of months and haven't seen any change. I would say any difference on scars would be minimal if any. Good Luck
