Topical tattoo removal creams are also called tattoo fade creams, and use pigment lightening ingredients that are applied directly on the skin to fade and remove tattoos. These active fading ingredients create a reaction within the skin that breaks down ink pigments into smaller particles, and those particles are forced to rise to the outer surface of the skin through the cellular renewal process, then shed off.

How Long Does it Take?

Tattoo removal creams will take time since tattoo ink is simply not erasable, but with consistent use and some patience, positive results can be achieved. It is also important to remember that this tattoo removal method may be more effective in some people than in others.

Advantages:

Tattoo fading and removal creams can be less inexpensive than most other methods, and they can be done at home. There is generally no risk of scarring, and it is also relatively painless, which is why more and more people are choosing to use tattoo fading and removal creams before moving on to the more invasive tattoo removal methods such as laser tattoo removal.

Disadvantages:

Partial or incomplete tattoo removal
