Tattoo removal cream products claim to offer the ability to remove permanent tattoo pigment without inconvenience, irritation or discomfort. That is just a marketing technique used by tattoo removal cream manufacturers or affiliate marketers to coax a few dollars from unsuspecting, trusting souls who want to believe such a process is possible at such a low tattoo removal cost. You may have been in Oz when the tattoo was applied, but reality is a wicked witch when it comes to tattoo removal cream as an effective tattoo removal product. One  skin pigment fade product  manufacturer even goes so far to say – Topical creams are generally only effective on epidermal hyperpigmentation. ¹ That means tattoo removal cream does not have the ability to penetrate beyond the epidermis (top) layer of skin to the dermis (2nd) layer of skin where all tattoo pigments reside.

There are three layers to the skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous layer, with tattoo pigment being deposited in the second layer, or the dermis. The top layer of the skin, the epidermis, is the part we see when looking at the skin.  It is also this layer which protects the body from germs and bacterial infections and seals in moisture contained in the body.

The Epidermis contains living cells which are then covered by a thin layer of dead cells cells that are constantly moving to the surface as the epidermis renews itself.  The dead cells are pushed to the surface as the new ones are produced at the base of the epidermis. The dead cells eventually flake away to reveal a new, smooth, glowing layer of skin beneath.

The epidermis is also the layer of skin that contains the pigment producing cells known as melanocytes. The melanocytes produce skin pigment known as melanin. The more melanocytes a layer of skin contains the more melanin is produced and the darker the skin. The fewer the melanocytes the less melanin is produced and the lighter the skin. Freckles are produced because the melanocytes are not evenly dispersed in the lower levels of the epidermis, creating spots of pigmented skin separated by areas of skin totally devoid of skin pigment.

The question is, does a topical tattoo removal cream, also known as bleaching cream, whitening cream, fade cream or lightening cream or gel have the ability to penetrate through the epidermis to the dermis and remove tattoo pigment?
