Is this for African Americans? I see it is for pale skin and dark hair but is it talking about all ethnicities? I have light skin (and dark hair) for a Black person but definitely no where near as light as a Caucasian or Asian. Is this supposed to work...

I don't think so. Several things make me say this. A nurse I know who was of Hispanic background used it and said it was excruciatingly painful. I suggested using something like one of those topical analgesics for mouth pain. Anyway, I think it would be painful and completely ineffective for you. I am a pale white chick who is traveling and got some tan on my legs. It became much more painful to use it and I think the results were diminished with the tan as well (I have been traveling for about 10 months, so it's not that I didn't give it enough time...) Also, I used it on hairs on moles I have, which are darker than my normal skin tone, and those hairs, while lighter and less coarse, are still there. It really doesn't work on light hair on even light tone skin (it wasn't nearly as effective on my leg hair, which is lighter than say bikini-area hair, which it WAS effective on.) All in all, as a black person, I reaaaaaallllllllyy wouldn't spend my money on this. For white women who want to say get rid of chin hair, go for it. It was very effective on my chin hair. Man, do I sound grotesque or what?

Yes I'm African American..It an oral supplement...one full drop of the extract by mouth a day.I did it day n nite sometimes, I saw a differences in my hair and nails...my hair is thicker in certain areas and my nails are crazy strong...my hair isn't breaking...it improves the strength of your nails and hair...everyone's results will be different though..over 95% love it though..I just read the reviews, came to a decision( I noticed mostly all were positive)..best choice I've come across so far..it seems like no one wants to make a bigger bottle..it's alil pricey but you'll see why..i didn't like the others cuz there pills may not be fully absorbed or something in them you don't know about..Natural and a fluid, can't go wrong there! Hope it's helpful to you*

I am African American and I used my sister's Tria for a month to see if it was worth it. We both have used it and IT WORKS!!! I loved it. Our skin tone is similar to Jada Pinkett Smith. My sister and I have very course black facial hair and we suffer from severe hair bumps. I used it for a month every other day. The difference is amazing!!!! Now, my results may be different because I was a fanatic about using it! I found that it was painful if I lasered over some hair. If you get rid of the hair it is more like a rubber band pop. I hope this helps

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.

I'm not sure I know the answer. My own skin tone is quite dark (olive with yellow undertones), and I am not sure how the product would look on someone with lighter skin. Wish I could help!

This product did not work for me at all as far as lightening dark spots, but I am Caucasian. Can't say what, if anything, it will do for African American skin. I used it for at least twice the time recommended and saw no results. However, it does have moisturizer in it and should not dry out your skin. Hope this helps.

This is not a race thing. Pale skin as in PALE SKIN. The laser targets dark hair; dark skin will burn just like dark hair. White women with dark hair are really the only ppl that can use this effectively. White women with a tan will burn, anyone with any shade of tan or darer will burn. White women with blond hair will see no benefit. Stinks, but that is, unfortunately, the limitation of laser hair removal.HOWEVER, I found this interesting info(read answer 2)http://www.realself.com/question/laser-hair-removal-blonde-fair-skinElos laser may work

I am black and it works wonders. I also use African shea butter and it makes the perm last longer between touch ups.

Teena--From what I've read in the user's manual that came with the device, it will not work on African-American skin since it works on a skin sensor.

I am a dark skinned African American. I use this product after I have shaven. I apply a light sheen and reshave. I have been doing this for many years and it lightens the dark areas for me. After shaving, I wash my face again and apply a moisturizer.

Hi--I have small (dark)pigments as well. I am Asian, and this help lighten it, but not completely gone. I would recommend it, but be careful! I found that because I applied to the spots, it lighten my skin and leave the rest of my skin kind of splotchy. Hope this help

Hey Vicki, I'm African American as well, however my hair isn't very coarse. My daughter on the other hand has very thick and coarse hair. For years I've been trying to find anything to help with her dry scalp. Nothing worked until I got Wen. Wen was actually designed for African American hair since sulfate really dry out our hair. Her dry scalp is almost gone & I've only been using it for a little over a month now. I've also noticed that her hair has more sheen to it & is easier to comb through. I don't think that by you swimming any damage will be done by using Wen, saying I'm also a swimmer & use Wen on my hair. It's supposed to help restore moisture. But my motto is try it once & if you don't like it don't buy it again. I hope I helped. Have a blessed one. :-)

I am from middle east. My skin is brown (not black). And yes I feel it does great job in Brightening my skin. I dont know how it will work in your country. In my country the weather is very hot (it reaches 45 degrees C in summer) which means it is not easy to get bright skin. To be honest i am happy with this product when i use it i get bright skin for the next 24 hours.

I feel like dark skin people can use it, but its doesn't have that many colors to chose from. I'm also a lady of color and I found it hard to match my skin ton because of cloudy color that appears once you apply it.
