how to use it

haven't tried this but have tried lustra which has 4% hydroquinone. my experience is that it is excellent, but lighten carefully, because that chemical in general, from my experience, makes things look darker at first, and sometimes causes peeling, but i think that's because the skin is irritated as it lightens. I have used 4% on my face for the last few years for spots, and i believe that it works by 1)lightening & 2)sloughing off the outer layers of the skin, which is why results come so quickly. This product prob works just as well, but may take longer since it's a gentler 2%. Also, do NOT use a "dot" or "blob" on your skin. In other words, don't over do it, because what I noticed (which my dermatologist disputed but I know EVERY change my skin goes through),is that when i used a pin sized "dot", after a while, i noticed a small indention. So my experience is that too much hydroquinone can cause permanant, light, but noticable pitting if you don't rub it in. DO NOT just leave it on your face, even if it's a pin size dollop, like i did (I did that because i didn't want to lighten the area around the dark spot, so i couldn't rub the product with my finger.) Sorry so long-winded, just trying to give good info. I know that those dark spots are sooo annoying & even worse than the initial pimple cuz they last so long! :)
i don't have hyperpigmentation issues, so I can't comment on the effectiveness of this product for that concern.
i use it to lighten pink scars left by blemishes. it definitely fades those marks faster than they fade on their own. possibly the best part is that it doesn't dry me out too much.
i haven't noticed significant darkening of spots, though some darken slightly for a day or two before the top layer of skin sloughs off.
When I began this Murad scar treatment I hated looking at my face with my glasses, as I could see every enlarged pore and acne scar. The results have been fabulous. I have been using the product for 6 .5 weeks, and the results are amazing! My skin tone is much more even and clear. Although, I do get the occasional pimple, I do nnot get as many especially during that time of the month and the hyperpigmentation lasts at most 2 weeks, because of the active ingredients already begining its skin lightening work before the pimple disappears. I am a woman of color and would recommend thiss product to anyone, but especially women of latin, afr.american, asian, and southeast indian decent, as we tend to face hyperpigmentation problems more often.
i really like this product. it did not make my scars darker before lightening them. most have turned from purple/red to pink in about two weeks, which is already a great improvement. sure, they are still visible, but they are definately not as dark as before. i wish i had gotten this sooner, actually.
