Are the dark spots permanently removed or do you need to continue use to maintain?

It did not make my dark spots go away. I don't think they even faded much and where I applied it on my face seemed to cause a mild break out. I used an Obage product that worked better but no topical creams will get rid of them permanently. A peel at a reputable salon/spa or dermatologist is the best solution.

I would say a little of both. It just makes your skin look brighter. You can use a little extra on any dark spots. It works well with the obagi line. To be used after cleansing and toning.

Not that I can tell - is there any product that really removes dark spots??- but I really love them and they do make my skin seem smoother after I use them.

That I am not sure of, but i have heard that besides helping with joint pain it is also helpful in preventing dementia! Really haven't heard about preventing or eliminating dark spots.

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.

I don't use it close to my eyes so I don't know. My dark spots are on my cheeks and temples and I think they are gradually fading.

In my case, I had some dark spots on my face especially. The spots r from sun damage in my case. After using this product for some time now, my spots r barely noticeable anymore. I will be 65 in a couple of months too, & I highly recommend this product!

No. It does not remove the light dark spot as the seller ad online. I am regret to buy it. It wastes the money to buy it.

I had a lot of darker skin areas as I've aged. This has gotten rid of most of the darker areas with each application. Every time I use it the spots get lighter and lighter. So yes!

They don't completely fade away. They are lightened. And it helps to guard from new spots to form below the skin surface.The only thing you can do to remove brown spots COMPLETELY is to lazer them off. I have done this in the past. But depending on your skin pigment, they will return.

I can only speak for myself but they have lightened up tremendously. I know that it won't get rid of the dark marks but they are barely noticeable on my butt. I hope that helps!

I've found that while it does dry your skin, once your used to it both dark spots and acne improve. You HAVE to let your skin get used to it, it may take a few weeks but you will be happy!

Yes, it will leave a dark mark that will gradually fade away; takes about 6 weeks depending on your skin type

It is ok just to use them and they are very good. However, if you have any discoloration on your face (sunspots, etc), it is best to go ahead and use the entire system to get rid of it. It is much cheaper to buy on line and it is a great product. I will always continue to use the cleanser and toner.

It doesn't really remove any spots. I have dark spots, not light ones....although I don't think it did much to the lighter spots either. Its not a stain....so I'm thinking the answer to this would be no. What you could do is do some spot staining on that area, and then use this over it. I think I might do this with my dark spot; sand it down, stain it lightly, wait a few days, and reuse this product over it. I love the stuff. It does an amazing job.

No, actually another product that I bought on Amazon worked to clear the dark age-spots. Check my other reviews.
