Yes it will. You type in the IGN of the user and then you get the skin that that player has. So actually it does help.

http://minecraft.novaskin.me works for me

 not for me

 could be your network provider blocking it??? I suggest making a support thread and seeing if people know from there?

I'm pretty sure it's not his network
