Wrecking Balm didn’t work for me. Just a lot of money and false hopes. Might try another fading cream out, laser cost too much.

Thanks for pointing that website out to us Dan. I checked it out also and it does look pretty fake! Would be skeptical of those self-promoting website. I ordered the 2 month supply of Tat B Gone after a friend of mine had good results using it. His tat really faded out and is barely visible now. Will let ya’ll know how it goes!

Has anyone visited the Skin Health Association? They claim they are an independent, tattoo removal cream organization and they rate all the fade-away creams on the market. It looks like a set-up by TAT-Med, the same cream that was ranked #1 on the website! I’d never heard of them before and after looking at their ingredients I know why: plankton, seaweed, algae extract, distilled water? Sounds like bull$#it to me. Definitely would not buy from those guys. Here’s a link to their hype website and ingredients.

Tat B Gone told me there was no skin bleacher in their product and it was made in an FDA approved lab. I bought it and have been using for nearly 5 months. At first I thought I was using it wrong so I contacted them for my explicit directions. Instead of the recommended twice a day application, I apply 3 times a day and have been noticing results. I was concerned that it would irritate me skin; no allergic reactions but it seems to bleed over so about half an inch outside the tattoo, the skin has really lightened up. I can handle that if my tattoo continues to fade. Even if it doesn’t disappear completely (and I don’t think it will) I’m pleased that it has faded so much and I can easily cover it with tattoo cover-up when I need to.

I have used Nuviderm and it does work but you need to follow instructions. It took about 5 treatments before I really noticed a big difference and by about the 10th time the tattoo was so faded no one noticed it unless I pointed out the location.

well i just bought wrecking balm like 3 months ago.. how everi herd over and over andover again even from my husband that it doesnt work. well it does. i found myown method that it tells you not to apply erosion head more than 45 second maximum a minute. well i did. i did it for 10 mintues and yeah my skin had to get used to the ruff ness of the erosion head but after a while it faded

I have had three tat laser removal sessions. That is $750.00 with visible fading, but I will need about three more sessions. Even if creams don’t do as good a job, they are still cheaper.

I was interested in tat removal as well, and did some research on hydroquinone. It seems so bad, like causing leukemia in the test rats, plus it might cause cancer, scar the skin. Why take the risk? I’m just going to have to live with my mistakes, or find a good tattoo to cover it.

I also thought Wrecking Balm was FDA approved, but if you look further into their site, ONLY the exfoliating device is FDA approved, not the stuff you put on your skin. Misleading…

Responding to Brandon – Nuviderm has a 6 month guarantee and it does work, but you need to follow instructions.
