I have some small hyper-pigmented spots on my face. I plan to apply with like a small q-tip. Would you recommend or not? Any comments appreciated.

Don't over do it on the qtip. a small amount is enough for ur spots. U can alway try again in a 6 weeks

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

I am not really qualified to answer this, but have read that chemical peels can cause hyperpigmentation to get worse, if you are not careful.

Personally, I have used both and the Natural C works great on dark spots- much lighter, but not gone....yet. The Super C helps with wrinkles- not gone yet either.

I think it does a good job evening skin tone. I wear it for everyday highlighting with a bronzer for more color sometimes. If you like a real heavy makeup it might not be enough??? I just really like the way it feels on my skin.

Yes. Just use as directed & moisturize your skin & those rough spots should fade in no time.

I don't use it for dark spots, so I really don't know. A dermatologist recommended this Glycolic lotion to me, many years ago, and I've been using it since. Was told that you certainly can use it on your face. Of course, topped with a sunscreen. But, funny you should ask about 'dark spots', cause I would like to find a good dark spot remover. I have a thumb-size dark spot on my cheek, which I hate. I tried skin bleach, but it didn't do a thing! So, if you find one, let me know!

Don't dilute. Dab on dark spots with a Q-tip, then apply moisturizer over the whole area.

Initially when I used this product, I applied on my pigmented part of my face once fortnightly, as time goes by, I reduced it to once a month as the skin becomes thinner (could be due to the peeling effect) I am not so sure about liver spots, you could start trying on a small area as the skin on our hands is not as sensitive as our face, so it can actually tolerate better. Other than the acid peel, I used Rectinol A cream as well and lots of sunblock. My pigmentation on the face did fade lighter, but you have to be consistent to use it.

I do, just use a Q-Tip or small toothbrush to apply it so you don't get it into your eyes. I imagine that would hurt!

I've used it on freckled areas with no problem. I was a little worried myself before I tried it.

Definitely saw results after the first couple days. Within weeks my skin looked brighter and the dark spots were less obvious. Stopped using them after a while because I gets expensive. Do they work? I would say so, as long as you don't expect anything too drastic. Good luck

To be honest, I've never looked into trying a product for the purpose of correcting dark circles bc that isn't my issue. Sorry I can't recommend anything. My focus was to soften fine lines and prevent crows feet & it has helped ;)

So, I actually wanted to get this to lighten freckles and sunspots. That is one thing that salon-IPL does, but it's so expensive b/c I have these all over my body. The salon quoted me thousands of $$ to get one treatment. I've had Laser Hair Removal on my whole body and the light usually darkens the mole and then it scabs up and falls off after a week or so, then underneath it is many shades lighter afterwards.I'm wondering if this Remington device will do the same thing at a much lower price? Does anybody who has treated freckles or darkly pigmented areas care to share the results? Please? So, I actually wanted to get this to lighten freckles and sunspots.

I've been using the rapid tone repair (night). The one with SPF30 must be for daytime. I am on my second bottle and I usually use moisturizers once only. I've used so many moisturizers I couldn't count them. This doesn't work miracles (brown spots, etc.) but you can definitely see a difference within a week.

I wouldn't recommend it, you're using a moisturizer with it and whatever the one of your choice will pull the makeup off or, at the least run it. I've noticed no change in spots on my face. I hope this has helped you.

Yeah, it has oil in it, so if you put a glob on a q-tip you could use it to remove makeup. But why would you do that? Makeup removal is not the intended use for this product and it wouldn't be very cost effective to use it as such. Just get an eye makeup remover or use so grapeseed or camellia oil on a cotton ball :-)

I use it on blemishes to shorten their stay on my face and neck ;) I don't use it as prevention though. It's super slimy so it isn't something I want all over my face. Spot treatments work for me.

I don't put this too close to my eyeballs... It really burns if you get it in your eye. I use it on the sides near where you would typically get crows feet. It's an amazing exfoliator. Really gets rid of fine lines and brightens the skin. It's ok for hyper pigmentation but not great. They have a collection specifically for sun damage/hyper pigmentation called Laser Free that may work better for you if that's what you're looking for. I made this purchase more for the fine line reduction and was pleased that it brightened my skin as a bonus. I hear good things about murad... They have a serum that is supposed to lighten dark spots
