NO. I have used this for upper lip hair and it just bleaches the hair, but didn't affect the skin tone. But if it is for the upper lip, just bear down and wax it!!! Your skin feels and looks better, plus your make up covers better.

Don't try it! The hair growth is a hormonal thing. If there's not too much of it, do you really need to do anything? Most guys are OK about women with, for example, a slight moustache. If you do decide you have to do something, then there isn't a simple answer and there's a lot of misleading "information" around. Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of 1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many 2) your body producing high levels of testosterone The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream. Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache and/or beard. As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that * Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles. * Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin. * Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion. * Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin. Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.

No it will not if you leave it on for the recommended time.
BTW, with bleaching you might end up w/ blond hairs that stand out against your skin tone.

I recommend going to a salon & having it waxed by a professional aesthetician if you are not using Retin-A, etc. Ask for a cold wax if you have sensitive skin.
Threading is good too. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_%28epilation%29)

It won't make your skin light but it will make your hair on your face lighter which makes your skin look lighter. If your skin tone is tan, your face will look lighter. If your skni tone is dark, I don't think it will work out.
