I think it helps but is more of an all-over treatment for brightening. If your pigmentation issues are more severe, I'd go for a product made specifically for that. The one I'm loving right now is called Lumixyl and is available from dermatologists. I'll probably be doing a specific post in it in a few weeks' time, after I meet with their rep to get more info. In the meantime you can look at lumixyl.net.
