Can Vitamin A (Retinol) gradually fade microbladed eyebrows?

Question

I got my eyebrows microbladed a month ago. The shape is even, no complaints. I just find the colour to be a little too dark. What home remedies can I use to gradually fade them? Retinol? Thank you.

Thank you for your question. Retinol can help fade the appearance of the tattoo, you should also ask your physician about tattoo removal if all else fails.

Hello and thank you for your question. I would not recommend trying o correct the color at home. Contact your provider and they can make changes to the color.Retinol will lighten the pigment but it may not be the color you desire.Hope this helps!

To lighten your brows up a bit, you can use a gentle exfoliator such as Skin Medica's AHA/BHA exfoliator. That would be your best bet! You don't want to exfoliate or lighten too much though as the tattoo will lighten with time and sun exposure.Vitamin C and A are also skin lighteners and can help lighten the tattoo as well.
