Does this help bleach skin at all? Does it help acne scars fade any? Thanks!

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.

My teenage daughter says that the product helps prevent acne but when she does have a red mark left from a blemish it doesn't fade it quickly. The best thing she has used for fading is lemon juice.

Hello, i responded to your question incorrectly... This cream and serum is very effective on brightening discoloration areas. It will not whitten your skin but it will brighten it up according to your complexion. What it will do is give you clear skin and brighten areas you need. As far as whittening your skin i am not sure it will go that far. Good luck.

That is an interesting question! I had a pretty good acne scar that I thought would never go away and, recently, noticed that I could hardly see it anymore. I wonder if using this product is what did that? It was in the same area where my skin was getting rough, which is what prompted me to buy it to begin with. It did wonders for softening up my skin...maybe it toned down that scar as well? It's worth a shot. :)

No it doesn't lighten nor whiten your skins. It works fine but the extra strength is strong so choose your kind wisely

Hi, it does not bleach the skin, but when you start using the obagi action regulary, the dark spots will disappear.

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.

Hi Elizabeth, Unfortunately, it does not work with fading brown spots. It really is just awesome for dry skin and getting rid of the red spots and ingrowns. I'm Asian and have hyper-pigmentation. My dermatologist prescribed Obagi's #3 Clear. It contains 4% hydroquinone. There is a lot of controversy over hydroquinone, but it works. The Obagi #3 Clear is prescription only, but there's another brand that is 2% hydroquinone you can buy over the counter. It is significantly cheaper than Obagi. You get what you pay for though. Another great product that is prescription only is a retinol called tretinoin. It is your do it all cream/gel. It prevents wrinkles, it helps with fading dark spots, it helps with acne and etc. Whenever you see products that says "retinol," it is a relative of tretinoin. My dermatologist explained all of this to me because I was asking about a good serum to buy. I told her I wanted one with a retinol in it and helps fade dark spots. I was just wasting money on these $100/1oz bottles of serum, when I already had the best stuff. I had the best retinol and the best fading cream. There is a site that sells the Obagi #3 for $65 without a prescription, but I think you should consult with your dermatologist before using it.

I tried everything and this is the only system that cleared up my acne and also prevents it from coming back. I use it day and night and its a simple routine. As far as acne scars I am not sure if it lessens them but I do know Vitamin E or K helps with that issue. My face has never been clearer. I am a dedicated user of three years now. Hope this helps.

It's only for acne. It won't shrink wrap your skin or anything. Scars is something that takes a long time to heal (I know from experience).So I just wore some makeup until that was gone. :)

Yes, it does. Its very good for fading out dark spots and stretch marks. For me, I noticed a difference within a week but I would say the process takes one to two weeks to notice a difference in your skin.

I would say it DOES help even your skin tone among other things. My cheeks and jawline were burdened with acne and acne blemishes. I barely noticed results when using this as a Mask 1x/wk basis, and even 2x/wk. This week, I used this as a nightly "Rinse", and now my face is almost blemish-free. I already use a konjac sponge to exfoliate my skin, then apply the clay (mixed with a few add-ins). I keep the clay on no more than five minutes, rinse, then moisturize. I did this for seven nights in a row, and WOW. What I looked like the Monday before I started this is pretty damn yucky compared to what I look like by the next Monday morning. I wish I had thought to try this sooner.

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 have just started using it and i love it, from what i know that constantly exfoliating ur skin and then applying a good mousturizer eventually gets rid of dead skin cells and i believe fade scars, also i suggest use mederma scar gel, it works excellently in fading scars

i normally use it twice a week, i run a nice bath and just wash my face with dove sensitive soap and then used the scrub rubbing in an upward motion for about 3 mins. i had bad acne after being on the pill. the acne cleared up but left me with red marks for almost 2 years!! this scrub has been the best thing i have used to to help make them fade, quite dramatically actually. After the bath i just use a toned and some antiseptic cream as i don't need a moisturizer.

I did not use it for acne purposes. But, some do state it is and excellent aid for acne. It does make the skin smooth and radiant.

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 was using it less than that. I don't think it is really meant to lighten the skin. It does make the skin very soft. I won't purchase it again. I will tell you the Piona Bleaching cream works like magic. The one in the jar the large jar if you can afford it. It takes away all dark scars in a short amount of time. I am true to this Piona Bleaching cream on my 3rd jar.
