I've just started..its to remove dark marks from the skin. It's called Ambi. Their Fade Cream for normal skin.

What else do you'll recommend to use to even out skin tone?

Sorry, no one has responded. I have not heard of this product at all. Fortunately I do not have any dark marks on the skin, so I am not much help. I do have some red marks from acne scars, they are not really that noticeable once I apply some concealer, but I do use "oils" on my marks to try to lighten. Sorry...good luck on someone having some experience on this subject.

I am also not familiar with this product. Are you dark marks from acne or more like brown spots form the sun?

so my mark are from burns and scratches. Like while i'm on my pc or ironing and i rush off to do something..i am so clumsy that i either burn myself or get scraped. My skin is so weird that i have marks over 10yrs now and they just wouldnt go away.

If your red marks are from scraps or scratches and they are over 10 years old? (the same red marks), something is really wrong. I am not hearing you say that the scraps are deep, that you have stitches or anything right? Then maybe you need to get some supplements in your system that help you heal? Sounds serious. I have had very deep wounds that I don't have red marks from after 10 years....

wow..i didnt ever take it to be that serious. Over 10yrs is really a long time. What do you think i should do? I'm drinking more water now and using that ambi product.

I think 10 years to heal a scape or cut? That seems like a long time to me, unless like I said it is a big wound...even so. You could be lacking B-12 in your system. The B vitamins are responsible for cell metabolism. Which to me really means cell turn over. Sounds like if you have red marks from cuts that are that old, maybe the cells in the skin are not turning over and creating new skin cells. (I am not doctor, just my theory).

I think that most people have some permanent scars and marks on their face and body, either from acne or accidents during childhood. If I have understood you correctly, these are just marks and not wounds. Then I think it's nothing to worry about.

If you find them unsightly, you could consider dermarolling. Many people have improved their scars and marks with this method. It's a long thread about it in the DIY section. Good luck to you. Smile
