up to what tone skin does it work?

I don't think skin tone matters as much as hair color. I am white, porcelain skin tone with black hair. Works fine. I did notice in summer a little bit of a sting on lightly tan legs. It is amazingly nice to not have to shave after 50+ yrs. This product works!

I have very fair skin, the product never burned me, but it flat out says not to use it if you have a tan... to me that would mean any mediterranean (light olive) - any dark skin would be bad. I agree that there needs to be a contrast between the hair and skin.

Honestly the company doesn't even know and don't trust on the device's light sensor because in my case it still worked with no issues and left huge welts on my skin. I still have the scars and discoloration on my legs 8 months later. They will tell you if you have olive skin at all, it will not work/burn you (I learned that after the fact). But there are also people with fair skin who will get severely burn. I would stay away from this product if I was you, too many weird/negative results from people with different skin tones, and the worst part is that the company KNOWS of the chances of injury, so they have covered their butt very well in the instruction manual for legal purposes.

It works best when there is contrast between the hair and skin. Example: fair skin and darker hair. Doesn't work as well on fair skin and very light hair.

Ooh no this is perfect for light tones. I almost think its too light for me. And i am african american w/ a brown complexion. Perfect for yellow undertones

Yes, it will work on any skin tone, both African American and Caucasian who want to add color, and yet it varies dependent on the individual. It is well worth the investment. I don't think you will be sorry if you decide to try it.

I have a pale skin tone and it works for me...but if the tint was any darker it would be too dark. The product is very thin and spreads easily, also the tone is neutral- neither yellow or pink... So, yes unless your skin is very dark I have a felling it will work. It's great to use 1st thing in the morning... Good luck!!!

I think it depends on your skin tone. I have light/medium and that works for me but I have fair skin. Hope this helps. Staci

I also have light skin with yellow undertones. And, 05 works best for me. If you have yellow, golden, or olive undertones this is the shade for you.

I have a medium skin tone- Italian ancestry. I took it to mean the higher number meant it was darker than the lower. So I got#2 and it matches perfectly.

I would say it probably wouldn't work, but check some skin tone samples online.

I don't think so. I have not noticed any change in my skin tone. I use this product for the sun screen effect.

I think it depends on how much sun exposure you have . I have a nice tan and it works on my skin but I'm not super tan. The indicator on the device will let you know if the pigment is too dark. It won't zap. Hope this helps!

Reading the pamphlet it indicates it would not work well on darker skin. It works ok for me, I'm extremely fair skinned with medium brown hair.

I don't have dark skin but seems to me it would work on either. It is very effective. I noticed a change after 3 applications.

I would say this would fit a light to medium skin tone best. If you are very fair or very dark, it would probably not be suitable. It's also a bit on the yellow side, so if you are very pink or want to correct overly yellow tones in your skin, it may also not be suitable.I am a MAC NW 15 and it's too dark for me.

Yes. I am light skinned and the classic gives me just the right color. It looks very natural. Not too dark. Just enough to have a natural looking tan. I have sometimes even used a second application just to get a deeper color. It always looks natural, never orange.

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!

Yeah I would just apply it lightly. I'm not fair skinned but I would imagine it would work for you.

I am not sure, I didn't use it long enough to find out. All I can tell you is that it didn't quite do it for my skin type.
