I didn't see any difference with my dark spots. The dark spots didn't get darker neither did it get lighter.

Well, that depends on the results you want and the severity/darkness of your melasma of your face and how quickly you want it gone, and how much you to spend. The cream the doctor applied on my face erased the dark spots overnights but it also required me to stay home for few days, because my face was literally burned, it was scary to even look at myself in the mirror, no question you need downtime. This cream however is intended for maintenance, meaning you need to reply it more often (three times a day) every day for weeks with very good cleaning routine, no down time, no burning, at the end no dramatic result right away. My melasma keep coming back at my cheeks but no longer as strong dark patches as before, so in way it is manageable with cream, but I also take a combination of vitamins and supplements that I belief it is helping the minimizing the severity of it. I also exfoliate and do weekly glycol lactic mask, as well as lactic gel peel on top of my daily soy exfoliation routine. I don't remember the name of the first cream because I never bought it separately, the doctor applied it on my face, and I don't recommend you do it yourself even if you find it online. That treatment was in March 2012.

I'm using it for scars, do not know about dark spots. I don't do it every day like I should but going to stick with it since I read it's very good. The smell is very strong, I do it at night.

My son has Acne and I have used it for my face and it was amazing but I would search online to see what works best for your dark spots bc not sure if this would be the route but you can check with the ones that sell this product they might be able to help best bc I never used it on my aging spots.

Definitely. I used it for hyperpigmentation scars from acne, and it really helped. I would combine a once per week use of this with some sort of vitamin C serum or toner used daily to help with the dark spots.

I had a lot of darker skin areas as I've aged. This has gotten rid of most of the darker areas with each application. Every time I use it the spots get lighter and lighter. So yes!

I have had this for a while and I had a steroidal reaction, don't use it...use asdm with hydroquinone serum and lotion instead. My reaction from caro white was bad and embarrassing.

O noon...I'm light brown skin ...i used on my face due . Hyperpigmentation and it didn't helpn with that it helped with my acne..but the soap does contain acid so it may sting or tingle.

Probably very slightly. It does lighten marks and scars on my face so I don't see why it shouldn't work on knees, elbows, and underarms. However with underarms it might not work due to the color of your hair? I suggest exfoliating your elbows and knees, and applying sunblock if you go out.

I have a caramel complexion and it works in terms of lightening my blemishes. I've actually used on entire face. I did notice a difference in lightening, but it wasn't too dramatic. I wouldn't recommend as a face bleach...also I wasn't consistent everyday with use...but it did lighten my dark spots, but those are the primary areas I applied it to...it just caused me to break out so I stopped using...

It won't lighten, but it will even your skin tone. It got rid of my acne scars and dark spots.

I did not use it for my face. But I have heard it does remove and help with brown marks on your face. I use palmers skin~ tone cream for my face ever since I was 15, I am 46 now. This cream my mom has used has well and her skin is beautiful and she is 82. This cream was past down to all of my sisters. I hope this is useful. I use the oil for my legs and it works wonderfully.

I have a hard time with dark spots as well. I think that a TCA peel actually is stronger than a glycolic, so I would say go to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon and see what they say about the strength of the peel. The glycolic acid peel is pretty strong and you're right , the point is to peel the skin. If you get a really deep TCA peel, the downtime is about 10-14 days, but it is supposed to really work well. I am too scared to do it because I get cold sores every time I do a peel like that. Ive gotten a few of the lighter ones professionally through my plastic surgeon and they didnt get rid of the dark spots either - my dr. said it was because I didnt let him do a stronger one. Good luck

Yes it does, it will lighten the skin on your neck, I have a spot on my neck working on too. I am pleased to say that this product has been working so well for me. The spots on my face which I named achipelago and figure-eight have faded so much that I can now see my face, where before I did not see 'the forest for the trees' - meaning when I looked at myself in a mirror all I saw were achipelago and figure-eight. Although they have not quite gone - they are like ghostly remnants - I have stopped using concealers and foundation, because I am so happy with the results. My skin texture has gone through an unremarkable change as well, more like the covered skin under my shirt. I do like this product. I now go bare with just my sunscreen on my face and use the product only at night. I will continue to use this product until archipelago and figure-eight have totally disappeared.

You should really ask your surgeon I used it one week later. Just a drop and gently apply. Has sunscreen to prevent darkness

From what I understood about this product was that darker women had problems with it, I wouldn't recommend it. But to each it's own, it's good for dark spots but I can't guarantee it will work for your type of skin.
