    Yes it does lighten the skin. However since you really can't control how much acid you're applying on your skin, it might end up burnt and darker instead. Especially true on the more sensitive skin of the face.

    Try whitening creams, they're much safer and the amount of whitening ingredients are regulated.

    no, people say it will lighten your hair but only when there is sun or heat. I wouldnt try it on your skin. It will dry it out and maybe sting :) good luck

    Uhm, I've heard that it worked, but I tried it for my acne scars, and it did nothing. :/
