I am thinking of purchasing this system but want to hear from people of color regarding its effectiveness in lieu of the manufacturer's assurance that it works on all: specifically, reducing age spots, improving firmness, tone and texture. I am the...

I have used this laser for several weeks. I don't find it painful, but I use a lot of the serum afterward, and it doesn't even last 30 days--expensive. I don't think my skin looks any better than it did. When my skin is very red and distressed I take a day off before I continue even if I have only used it 3 days in a row. It makes no sense to further distress skin that is already distressed; otherwise my skin looks bad every day. I should not have bought this laser. I was trying to save money. If you have beautiful skin like Mel B, consider yourself very fortunate and read every review before you spend money on this.

It works perfect for me, turns my skin "bronze" really quickly. In the past it was very hard for me to get some tan but since I use Australian Gold it is really easy and quick.

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.

Its said to help. I read a lot on it before I even tried it. I have light skin so I don't know for sure. But all the things I read said that it does.

It looks amazing. I am a light skinned black woman and use it every day. I have also applied it to women darker than me and it looks amazing as well. Just build slowly until you get the look you want.

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.

Yes, my mom uses it and we have noticed a significant change. The spots are getting lighter, this product is amazing, however my mom uses it once or twice per week so maybe you will get quicker results if used 2-3 times per week.

It didn't work that well for Caucasian skin, so I don't think it's a skin tone or color issue. If it's a genetic or long-term condition, it will reduce some puffiness. If it's temporary due to stress/sickness it works alright.

Hi Trista, I have had luck with this cream. I've had noticeable results with skin tone, my skin is brighter, healthier and my scars have faded. It works great under my make up and as a part of my daily skin regiment. I have a tendency to break out and this has helped and minimized my pores. Good luck!

It was recommended to me by the salon I was at. The Redken representative had been there previously and recommended the product for those with color treated hair. I still noticed that it has sodium laureth sulfate, which is what I thought stripped hair coloring. I do blond highlights and apricot highlights every couple months and haven't noticed it diminishing my color much, besides what kind if normal diminishing occurs anyway. For how my scalp feels I think it is worth it to possibly lose a little color.

I think it works grea on any skin tone. The colores are so pigmented that they will surely work on any skin tone.

I actually think it works better if you have darker skin. The brown powder is really pigmented. I can only use a little bit because it goes a long way for me. But then again, I have light skin. As for the rest of the colors I feel that the darker you are, the better they will look.

Definitely saw results after the first couple days. Within weeks my skin looked brighter and the dark spots were less obvious. Stopped using them after a while because I gets expensive. Do they work? I would say so, as long as you don't expect anything too drastic. Good luck

Hello: Not everything works for all people the same. It didn't seem to work for me but that could be due to other factors. I wasn't looking for a quick fix to my weight problem but I was looking for a quick start and didn't get it. There are warnings popping up about the main ingredient and I would advise researching that before spending any money. Sorry, Dick Urban

I am african american :o) So yep it works for us! My daughter confirmed tonight my pores are definitely smaller. Of course, as with any new product, test it on a small patch of skin just to make sure it agrees with you. I hope you like it if you try it :o)

It works for all skin color and types. Especially if people who want even and toned complexion.

A big YES!!! I noticed a difference right away! Everyone might be different on when you see results but it works. I will be buying more of it soon and also getting the scrub and massager. I have only been using the cream and still have seen positive results, but think using the other products with it I might see even better improvement. I highly recommend this product. :0) A++
