Does this really fade acne scars/dark marks?

Honestly I'm not sure. I am fortunate not to have acne scars or dark marks.

I have only used the product a few times so far, so I haven't seen a noticeable difference yet. This mask DOES, however, contain pyruvic, lactic, and salicylic acids...all have proven effective in improving scars and dark marks.

I don't think I've been using it long enough to tell yet, but it's a very small jar so I would have to get another one before I see any results anyway I think. It's a good mask but I haven't found it to be any better than the olther, less expensive, clay masks I've used.

I haven't noticed any fading yet, but I've only had it for a few weeks. I like what it's doing for my skin in general and am hopeful. I'll write an update in a few weeks and try to pay attention to my scars.

Yes. It worked on my red marks from old acne scars. I'm a young guy so I don't have wrinkles but it kind of helps with my indented scars . But it definitely works faster on new scars.

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 have honestly never tried it, but my face has a number of acne scars that it manages to blur and conceal some of the lighter ones. I would say most are 3-4 shades darker than my skin tone. Those that are 1-2 are hidden completely. It also depends on how thickly you apply it. And my skin seems to be better after using it for a while.

This product is exactly like Pro-Active acne treatment but much milder and easier on the skin. This group doesn't specifically address scars/darkening. There ARE, however, many, many products to remove acne scars and discoloration. I bet many are available right here on Amazon.

I have been using it for age spots. It takes a very long time to fade them, but it does work

So far, I'm saying yes. I'm still skeptical because I've been using it less than a month. I have acne marks, wrinkles/fine lines and a little discoloration. The moisturizer seems to add elasticity somehow and my marks are fading. Not really sure how it's working but so far it's better than any other moisturizer I've used. (I've used a LOT!)

I believe if you religiously use the product some lightening will occur but I am not sure about scars. A good dermatologist can better serve you with lasting results in my opinion

I am not sure about Acne scars. I don't have any and neither does my spouse. However, it helped with my wrinkles considerably as well as firming up my skin and my spouses bigger pores and black heads completely disappeared. We really love the product and recommend it. I just wish I new if it helped scars but I don't. I am sorry but I hope this helps. Wishing you all the best!

I am on my 3rd box, and no it does not eradicate dark spots or blemishes. Its just a VERY GOOD moisturizer and makes your skin look soft and supple. My skin 'glows' when I apply it. I have received compliments on how fresh the skin looks. But it won't effect your blemishes.

The best answer I can give is this. It will lightly resurface the skin on a daily basis giving you a beautiful glow. It also helps in acne outbreaks depending how severe your acne is. As for acne scars that are indented no, I havent seen any change in mine, I use lactic acid for this issue hope this helps.

It removes all the dark spots from your face completely. I believe you would have to keep on using it to really see major results. Trust me this product wwwwwwwwwwwworks really well. Give it about a month then hit me back. I give this product a 5 stars. I will be using my 3rd jar.

It does not restore the color, as with anything, once the color is gone it's gone. However, it does darken faded spots as it is a moisturizer, but again fades over time as the leather dries out with age.

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.

I do not think that the medication is specifically designed for that purpose. However, I am seeing less dark marks from old acne spots due to the fact that I am not getting new acne and my skin is healing. My skin tone is slowly evening out the longer I go without a breakout, but it takes time.
