I'm looking to use this product to fade a tattoo on my hand. Has anyone used it for fading? What was your experience?

It won't fade the tattoo. It will burn the top layer of skin. It is very strong.

I've seen a blog that showed great results from 50%. I don't remember the exact site but do a google search. he showed before and after images after one use and it faded a lot. I believe he used 50% for 4 minutes then reapplied for another 4 mins then neutralized and washed off. Im thinking to try this later but I also saw an article linking TCA to liver cancer so I'm on the fence about it. I definitely got no results trying to fade with glycolic acid, so it's either TCA or laser, but don't listen to people who say TCA doesn't fade tattoos.

Ya, just make sure you let it dry.I takes a long time. I am not a huge fan of dippy pens but I have a set and if youre after a certain line it works. Im drawing "illuminated" letters w this ink. I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"

I have been using it on my arms due to a scar I am trying to lighten, and it has not lightened the little wrist tattoo (black only non-colored tattoo) that I have. Hope that helps.

I would not tattoo on human skin with those inks I would buy good ink and as far as the machines are concerned with a little bit of tuning they seemed to work good. The power suply is crappy I replaced it with a good one. I hope this helps you out!

This product worked amazing on my very red stretch marks. They are extremely faded and I even gave some to my other stretch mark friends and will be purchasing again after my second!

Honestly I dont think this will have much use for tattoo scar fading. This is for more minor scars.

I have not tried it in years, but in the 80s I used to use clear nail polish over some of my printing to keep it. Some inks ran, others did not. Have not tried it with the current inks. Just might try it. Also they put glare free glass over drawings so the light would not fade it so maybe a flat finger nail polish might work better than a high gloss...don't have any idea, just thinking. hope it helps.

I've used mine for note-taking for over a year, and I haven't noticed any fading in the ink. It's not as vibrant as when it initially goes onto the page, but that's because it dries. I've used mine on copy paper and in notebooks. I love them, and actually just bought a new set for summer school.

It just fades the look, I use it to tone down freckles! The more u put it on there darker the area gets which makes it noticeable. Not recommended for tattoos or dark birth marks it only tones and blends the color down ...

We have not seen a fading problem - have used this for over three months. Make sure to wash on cold for darks.

I have been using this for years. Love it! I put a lot on its VERY VERY DARK. But it when you rinse the morning its perfect. Before I start i use regular lotion on hands, ankles, elbows, and kneecaps. I then apply this product with the gloves to my whole body and lightly on those areas that have lotion . VERY lightly or if you dont the tan will soak in and your hands will look crazy. So with my right hand i have a glove i take left glove off and put small layer, then ido the other side. its last days 5-7 or so. Sometimes i do face and arms only. there is no line of demarkation. When you rinse it looks like a tan and fades into the rest of your arms or neck area. I have been using this for years. Love it! I put a lot on its VERY VERY DARK.

I only use on my face as a deep cleansers, however it will fade your tattoo somewhat if you use it often because it is so strong.

I have had mine several months 10+ and it seems to be just as dark as when I first have used it. It last as a tattoo for approx 2 weeks

I wouldn't think it would help with fading. The way UPF works it fills in between the fibers. You don't see any difference in your clothing. It does work well though at protecting your skin.

I have applied it to my tattoos twice now, it had lightened it slightly both times, but it is going to take a lot of applications before they going to be really faded. It takes about a week between each use for the skin stop peeling. It makes for a good chemical peel, but if you are in a rush to get your tattoos removed, I would not suggest this.

Hi. I use it for my whites as well as darks, and everything in between. No fading that I've ever noticed. Love the stuff and love knowing it's not full of chemicals.

I used this product twice, nervously. I did follow the directions to a T and I have had professional peels in the past so I was fairly confident.... I myself bought this to treat my own melasma spot that appeared this past summer. I did not see the results I was hoping for. I did this treatment while also treating the melasma spot with prescription strength hydroquinone. It has faded but I believe it is because I have been obsessed with sunscreen , microdermabrasion and prescription Retin A. The fact that it's winter helps too. Sorry it's not what you wanted to hear but if your looking to peel off your melasma it's not a quick fix. Your going to need a dedicated skin routine with a mix of treatments & patience. Good luck.
