New Tattoo Removal Cream, Could It Really Work?

March 4, 2015
Asked By:

According to an article released by the Huffington Post a researcher by the name of Alec Falkenam has created a topical tattoo removal cream claiming it is effective in fading and possibly removing tattoos, as it clings to macrophages that absorb foreign particles, or the ink. My question, is it possible for any cream to penetrate the skin deep enough to remove tattoos?
