Does this cause the skin to darken and discolor over time? This happened to a friend so I never waxed at home.

I have never had any experiences like that or had it happen to any of my friends. I have had the kit for a few months now and one of my best friends has had one for years and there hasn't been anything like that happen.

It will darken the color. Once it sets completely it has a nice waxy feel, but this can cause a slight stickyness. For this reason I began using Fiebing's Golden Mink Oil, which I highly recommend. The mink oil causes some darkening too.

Been a while since i had it. Pretty abraisive. All surface area was the same courseness all over it. Turned my skin red when i wasnt gentle with it, but even gentle scrubbing will irritate the skin a little. Maybe thats how theyre supposed to be.

Honestly no. But I used it so much that my skin actually hardened. I wouldn't recommend using this for long periods of time.

Both IPL and laser can burn darker skin v badly--dangerous!--bcs the light seeks out (and destroys) dark pigments: hair roots, ink marks, tattoos, moles, etc. I have dark bikini area & have to be v careful not to go onto darker places with it! Electrolysis is the only way for dark skin. Luci Peters Intl has best reputation in that but they're not in every city. U cld look them up & see which Luci Peters is closest to u. Good luck!!

Mine is too. No worries, it does not color your skin. Your skin will be brighter after just a few uses. Love this product!

My scar did lighten a lot with use! It came to a point though that the color was staying constant, so I stopped using it. It has continuously lightened on its own and looks amazing now. The Scar Guard definitely got it to a good point though. I guess nature took over after I stopped usuage:)

Yes, I did. It will darken it a little, especially in a scratch. I was unable to find a light color wax.

I am dark skinned, African-American woman my complexion is similar to a hershey candy bar or milk chocolate. Sorry for the analogy just wanted to be clear. I have not seen any whitening effects all that I do notice is that my acne scars fade away. Actually when I tan (yes dark skinned black people do tan we just get darker) it does not effect the rich even darker complexion I have but rather is amazing because the effects of laying out in the sun and drying of my skin are negated by this mask. I bring it on every beach vacation so that I stay out in the sun longer. It doesnt make my skin more sensitive to light either which is great. I am someone who would love to be darker and I try to be in the sun at every chance I can so I would not be using a whitening product ever. This did not effect my complexion at all. I use it as often as 4 times a week when my skin needs it. I have been using it for about 6 months now with no effect on my complexion.

I tan when using this product but do not burn. I do not have dark sun spots but this has not been a problem in the past either. It is a great product and have been using it for almost three years. The dermatologist loves me for using this product.

My dark spots have not returned but I continue to use the daily moisturizer with SPF 30 everyday as well as the other SB products as part of my daily regime because my skin gets better and better so why stop! Hope this answers your question.

No. If you stop using the product, your hair will start to grow back, but at the normal rate, color and thickness. The 'grow back thicker and darker' thing is a myth. You may feel like it's thicker and darker, but that's only because you because got use to having almost no hair. So when it does start to grow back it only seems worse than it actually is. I hope this helps!

I purchased the 1mm derma roller and used it once so far on my face. I was wondering if anyone had a problem with hyperpigmentation after rolling? I saw two spots on my nose the next day that werent there before. I didnt use sunscreen though! anyway, I really want to continue use but afraid to use it again due to this issue. could it be that I have light olive skin or because I didnt use suncreen?

yes! I've found it works best when you use it continously when ever you can. Almost all my dark spots are fading, some even gone completely! i'm completely impressed with this lotion, as nothing else has ever worked for me before. I hope u are getting as great results as I am! :D
