What is Scarguard Lightening Serum?
Scars are defined as an area of fibrous tissue that manifests as a result of injury or damage to the skin’s tissue. While scarring is a natural part of the body’s healing process, the severity and position of these marks may be a cause of embarrassment. This is a review for Scarguard Lightening Serum, a scar lightening product that claims to help reduce the appearance of dark scars and discoloration on the skin (like liver and age spots). This serum also claims to include a mix of dermatological and homeopathic compounds that act as lightening agents.

Guarantee
After much extensive research, we were unable to uncover any mention of a satisfaction guarantee or any returns policy. This is quite concerning if you consider that this product is one, somewhat pricey and two, has been found to cause some form of discomfort for some users.

Our Review Summary Of Scarguard Lightening Serum
To conclude our review for Scarguard Lightening Serum, we thought that this scar lightening product did contain a well-known skin lightening bleach (hydroquinone) which has been shown to whiten/lighten areas on the skin affected by marks or discoloration. We also appreciated that this product seemed to have sufficient information on how best to use it. However, considering that the active ingredient has also shown to have some negative effects was of concern to us. In addition, the fact that this product was unavailable and that no satisfaction guarantee has been put in place makes us wonder if this product would be the best choice.
