I had one that started faded right away and it was gone in a week. I had another one that gradually faded over a 2 month period. I have others that have faded but have not completely gone away over the past 6 months. I have also been using Retin A cream which helps with the cell turn over. My skin care specialist told me today that the active ingredient In Lytera will actually draw the dark spot to the surface of the skin so sometimes you may have some new ones show up. The Obaji bleaching products active ingredients actually suppress the melanin. I personally prefer to flush it all out and be done with it. I'm sure its more technical with than that's what I heard.

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.

This product helped me with brown spots, but it works better after you have washed your face and waited around 30 minutes to apply the cream. I cannot say anything regarding sun exposure. I would say ask your own doctor about, to make sure you get the proper care according to your own skin condition. Good luck.

I have not tried it on either brown spots or sun spots. I have only used it for an active skin cancer where it removed the skin cancer.

It works for me. Escpecially when I get a new breakout out, I use the spot treatment and it's gone within 2 days.

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.

Just put some lotion for dry skin, and don't let it get too dry, after a 3 days it will get normal, but don't expose it to the sun, cuz' it will get darker than before.

Use a small amount twice a day, in the morning and at night. The face should be cleaned. You can apply it to all the face,not just to the dark spots because in that way the tone will be even.

I wouldn't get it too near your eyes but I think it works for fine lines & dry patches. I've use it on my hands & have seen a difference there too. I doubt if it works for brown spots but it does seem to even out your skin so it may help with the acne marks. This is my second jar. I leave it on a little longer than 3 minutes too.

Yes, I do believe that it helps with Brown spots. I have been using this product for over a year and I have noticed the Brown spots fading.

I used it for two weeks and didn't notice any difference on my face for my dark patches. Works great on sunburns. My daughter had a sunburn and it worked great for it. It took the sting away and sunburn was gone in about 3 days.

I suppose it would depend on the severity of your acne. I had moderate acne and it took about 2- 3 weeks for it to clear up. It takes longer to get rid of the hyperpigmentation (dark marks) that the acne left behind though, if you just use this product alone

In my case, I had some dark spots on my face especially. The spots r from sun damage in my case. After using this product for some time now, my spots r barely noticeable anymore. I will be 65 in a couple of months too, & I highly recommend this product!

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

a minute at most, but then I live in Las Vegas where the humidity is very low. Also depends on how damp/wet my face is as it must be applied when your skin is damp.
