    Darker skin from shaving
    Hello,

    I am an African American male and my problem is twofold. First, the places where I shave on my face have gotten darker (discoloration)and I would like to get that skin lighter so that is matches the rest of my face. I also have some dark
    Spots on my nose.

    WHich products could help rid me of these problems? I've used Awashine and it did not work at all.

    Sincerely,
    Copeland 123

    Take some glutathione, that helps even up skin tone. And use L'Oreal whitening products (Face)

    Glutathione work... BUT I don't think that one should always go for this product when in fact his problem is just his face and if it can be cured by simple creams and not so expensive medications...

    copeland123, just find a whitening product may it be cream or toner, it will help. May not see result at once, just try and be patient. Don't just jump to products that promise you instant result for there is no such thing :) I believe. And try first the not so expensive one, because expensive does NOT necessarily mean effective...

    May I suggest, go to an asian or filipino store, try using eskinol whitening toner. The white one without the grains :)

    Glutathione does work, but not as quickly as you would want it to be.

    I know this is old but in case someone finds this link as I did. Toners and whitening creams are not effective in the shainvg area as I have (in my opinion) severe darkness from shaving under my chin. I don't get razor bumps that usually occur and cause the darkness. I even used Obagi lightening products and it turned me into Casper the ghost and still left the darkness under my skin. :/

    Im looking into Microdermabrasion which I heard can be effective but how knows. Best of luck!

    I have not used Shave Secret but I was reading on a forum that it is very useful for removing darkness from shaved face area. I am also suffering from same problem, though not very acute. :)
