Dark Elbow and Knee Lightening with the XanthRemover – Full Instructions

XanthRemover is a high-strength exfoliating gel that helps break down thickened, darkened skin often found on elbows and knees. With regular and careful use, it can significantly lighten these areas, leaving the skin smoother, brighter, and more even in tone.

Important Warnings

  • Do not use on broken, wounded, or freshly shaved skin.

  • Not suitable for very sensitive skin without professional advice.

  • Discontinue use if you notice swelling, blisters, or persistent redness.

  • Avoid contact with eyes, lips, or mucous membranes.

Mandatory Patch Test

Before full use, perform a patch test to ensure your skin can tolerate the product safely—especially in thicker skin areas like elbows and knees.

Day One

  • Apply a small amount of gel (max 0.5 cm²) on the inner forearm or underarm.

  • Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Day Two

  • Repeat the test on a different area (e.g., near the elbow).

  • Leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse.

➡️ Wait 2 full days to monitor for irritation, redness, or delayed reactions.

Day Five

  • Apply a small amount of XanthRemover directly to a small patch of dark skin on the elbow or knee.

  • Leave for 30 minutes, rinse off completely.

Day Six

  • Repeat on a different area (opposite elbow or knee).

  • Leave for 40 minutes, then rinse.

Day Seven

  • Apply to a third area.

  • Leave for 50 minutes, then rinse.

Day Eleven

  • If no adverse effects occurred, you may now apply to a full elbow or knee area.

  • Leave on for up to 1 hour max, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Application Instructions for Elbow and Knee Lightening

Once the patch testing confirms skin tolerance:

  1. Clean and dry the elbow or knee area.

  2. Optionally degrease with diluted vinegar or toner for better absorption.

  3. Apply a thin, even layer of XanthRemover to the darkened area.

  4. Leave on for 30–60 minutes, depending on your tolerance (based on patch tests).

  5. Wipe off gently with a cotton pad, then rinse with warm water.

➡️ Peeling should begin within 1–3 days. Do not scrub or pick at peeling skin—let it shed naturally.

Frequency of Use

  • Wait at least 2 weeks between applications.

  • Only reapply once peeling is complete and skin is fully healed.

Post-Treatment Care

  • Let the area heal on its own.

  • Avoid harsh scrubbing or exfoliating products.

  • Protect treated areas with sunscreen if exposed to sunlight.

  • Wear loose clothing to prevent rubbing or friction.

 

Expected Results

  • Noticeable improvement in skin tone after 1–3 applications.

  • Reduced darkness, thickening, and dryness of elbows/knees.

  • Smoother, more even-toned appearance over time.
