    I'm not sure, sorry. I wouldn't have thought it could cause any adverse reaction in your case though. Best of luck.

    Hi Why Me, yes I'm still using it. My brows are slowly but surely getting lighter. Like I said, it's no quick fix but it does seem to be speeding up the fading process. I'll continue with it... I only now need a little concealer to make my brows look normal as opposed to caking them in the stuff! Hope it works for you.

    Hope you find success Vee49030, think I'll stick with the glycolic peel as is seems to be working for me. If you do manage to get rid of your brow tattoos please think long and hard before getting them done again. I wouldn't even consider it as there is no guarantee that you'll like them. I'm just thankful that I've found something that's making them look better each day...

    Long time lurker, new poster... Thought I'd share my experience as it may be of use to somebody. I had my eyebrows tattooed about 4 years ago, I’ve never been totally happy with them, over the years they have faded in some parts to a not so attractive pinkish colour. Lots of concealer and a good brow pencil do mask them well, but I would love to get rid of them forever and be able to leave the house make-up free. Additionally, due to the amount of make-up I have to apply to cover them, they do look heavy and fake, but at least they’re not pink! I got them tattooed as years of overzealous plucking had left me with very sparse and uneven brows (my right brow is missing quite a big chunk and starts further across my forehead than my left brow). I have spent much time researching into removal procedures, but have been scared to pursue things further as laser can turn pigments darker and there is a risk of skin colour change ; rejuvi results in a nasty looking scab which you have to live with for at least 2 weeks and there is a risk of permanent scarring – no thank you. I kind of resigned myself to the fact that I’d have to live with my pink brows forever BUT I am very excited to report that I may have found a pain free, cheap and totally safe, albeit slow removal method. I recently turned 31 and have started to take an interest in looking after my skin in order to delay the inevitable ageing process, I purchased an at home mild glycolic peel from Boots (do a search for 'glycolic' on their website, it's the Sanctury one). I followed the instructions and only used the product a couple of times a week for 5 minutes, to my amazement I noticed that my eyebrows were becoming lighter and lighter. I now slather just my brows up each night and leave the product on for about an hour, some bits of my tattoo have totally disappeared! It’s not a quick fix, I’ve been using the product for about 6 weeks now and progress is slow, I’m excited to see what the results will be in another 6 weeks. I have also been using RapidBrow (can also be purchased from the Boots website for £37) which seems to be working in encouraging the growth of hairs which I thought would never come back due to my over plucking many years ago – again not a quick fix but it does seem to be working. The instructions say the product should be used twice a day but I’ve just been using it once before bed, you can pick it up for about £25 from everyone’s favourite online auction rather than paying the RRP. Hope this helps somebody!
