I have really bad age spots on my hands. This product really works. I was using another product with the same in ingredients for a lot more money. In time you will see results.

I have been using this product for a little over a month and my dark discolorations are starting to lighten. I use it every other day at night before I go to bed - 3 times a week. I leave it on for 8 minutes, wash off with a gentle cleanser, followed by a toner (I use witch hazel with a few drops of grape seed oil) and follow that up with rose hip seed oil as a moisturizer. The next morning I use the same cleaning routine only, instead I swap out the gentle cleanser for an exfoliating wash. Hope my answer helps.

Renea, unfortunately, my machine has mo instructions whatsoever, so I have not been able to use it.I can tell you that I think peels coupled with dermaswerp/microdermabrasion/ diamond tip treatments are the way to go for dark spots. You see some results right way but the key is continuing treatments ( 2-4 times month for multiple months) along with sunblock everyday. Everyday; not just during the summer momthd

This won't work for dark spots. And if it will lighten them a tiny bit over the time, they will most likely come back. You need a cream with hydroquinone or kojic in it, preferably from a doctor that can give you that prescription, or buy one from drug store or doctors office, but those are usually 2% or lower, which help, but do take time to do the job.

Hmmm. I primarily used it for a prolonged, persistent patch of perimenopausal acne (that not only kept regenerating itself but took forever to heal, leaving horrible purple scars behind) and it did seem to do the trick! BUT I was also using alpha hydroxy and retinol at the same time (and added exercise to my daily regimen), so I'm not totally sure how much of it was the LED light alone. As for stretch marks, I have never tried to use the LED light on them. I suppose it couldn't hurt.

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

It do helps but the alpha hydrox spot light targeted skin lightener works better for acne dark spots

It may lighten them after time but we do not have many testimonials to answer this one way or another...you might use it and follow up with a product known to help with dark spots

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.

The scars don't totally go away. You will probably have to use it for a while. It did help with brightening and the texture of my skin.

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 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...

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!

Not much seems to work for melasma, I bought this specifically for that. I've developed quite a bit over the last 5 years. Almost my entire forehead and on both cheeks and various lighters patches all over the face. I've been using this for about a month, once a week. So far, I don't see any difference in the melasma patches. My skin does look smoother, but no difference in melasma. I get acne marks too and those usually lighten over time on their own, but I haven't even seen any difference in the acne marks after 4 uses. I haven't had any peeling or redness at all, so I think I' can probably go to twice a week and see if I get any results with that. I don't want to make a final decision until I'm done with the entire bottle.

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 don't have acne prone skin but this does leave my skin feeling super soft and if you have dark spots from acne scarring it will help them to fade away with time. Hope this helps.

Dear Sharon,The lotion does not get rid of dark spots, alas. I like it because it firms up my skin (I mainly use it on my face).
