I had no idea this was such an issue, so I wanted to say kudos for explaining it so well on the site! One question that remains for me is: do the product requirements change depending on how dark the skin is, or is it more a case that one solution will work for all dark skinned people, and another for all light skinned people?

That is a great question! There is definitely some variation to what will work on very dark skin versus more medium skin. Getting a prescription solution from a dermatologist is usually the best way to get something very custom to your specific skin needs. But we know not everyone can afford to see a dermatologist - and shouldn't have to go that route to see results. What we've done is created a retail solution that will show improvement on all darker skin tones. The speed and magnitude of those results could vary person to person.
