I have not used Makari but I have read that it works for some but has made some breakout.
Try clicking on some of links at the bottom of this thread where other members have discussed this product, or you can just do a search on the forum for Makari.

If you decide not to purchase Makari, try purchasing a product with Glycolic acid or if your skin is sensitive, get lactic acid. It renews the skin which is good for acne scars. And with that you can get a lightening cream or lotion for the hyperpigmentation with real skin lightening ingredients in such as Kojic acid or arbutin. For more ingredients check out the FAQ http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/skin-lightening/skin-lightening-frequently-asked-questions-190905.html

Also, using sunscreen is essential. SPF15 or higher is preferable. Using glycolic acid or lactic acid makes your skin sensitive to sunlight.

Don't expect to see results overnight. No product is going to make you light in a day or 2. Be patient.

I had a bad reaction when I used Makari, first time round too. I lightened significantly and then had a terrible breakout around my nose and chin. I have never had problem skin, so this was a real shock to me and I had to stop using it. I have used it since and I don't know if they have changed their formulation, but to date I have not had the bad reaction. I do not use it every day and I only apply in the day, never at night. I also use retin A , whic should also help combat any breakouts.

which makari products were you ladies using that caused the breakouts? Do you have sensitive skin? Were the bumps small and itchy? I got steroid acne from a skin lightening cream callled "clear tone" there was a steroid in it. The bumps were so small and itchy so I wonder if Makari has a steroid in it?

Makari was terrible for me, made me lighter but the patches i was trying to fade got much more visible. After i stopped using it, i went 2 shades darker. That is the worst product i ever used.

i used for a while to get rid of scars and it worked like a dream. i had break-out but mixed it with a strong moisturiser. the only reason u break out is because some of the ingridients rob your skin of it's natural moisture. but the tub that i had ran out and when i went to buy another it made me darker, i tried 2 more tubs and gave up. i think they may have been fake so buy it from the actual site and not from vendors. and mix it with moisturisers like aveeno cream cos it works wonders.

Hey AM using makari face cream right now.I saw slight signs of breaking but immediately controlled that with neutrogena acne wipes..they are great! So now wat i do is use makari 3/4 times a week on my face and also i apply lemon juice on my face every time i can..atleast once every day.let it stay as long as u like.u can use the lemon juice from the small green bottles in the grocery shop..thats wat i use it seems economical.

And oh i use the makari pills too not soo sure abt them though..its been abt two wks. and i put bio claire on my body.it working for now!

Do you mean the hand and body lotion?

No, this one does not lighten. The body milk is supposed to lighten.
