Btw, I found it in the ethnic section.

Thanks for all the responses! Really appreciate it....

I tried both the Obagi (total waste of money) and nadinola. The nadinola lightened a very slight amount. My spots are on my left temple area. My derm said laser treatments were the most effective, but that's very cost prohibitive. After taking recommendations from people here, I tried ASDM products. The products work really well for me. I decided to try their face lightening cream and started to see slight changes in my spots after about 4 weeks. I recently added the 2% hydroquinone serum with it and they are looking better. I realize they will never be gone, but they are improving. Good luck.

I've used lots of stuff, expensive and inexpensive, and the one that has worked the best for me is Palmer's Skin Success Eventone Fade Cream which I got on a whim at CVS. Worth a try. Good luck!

I've tried so many over the counter products to no avail for my brown spots. I just ordered Obagi's Clear,which contains 4% hydroquinone. It is by prescription, but there is an authorized on line seller I buy from. I'm hoping it does the trick.

I used Obagi for quite a while years ago. When I used it I mixed the clear with Retin A Cream which is also a prescription. This does lighten you skin and YOU MUST STAY OUT OF THE SUN. I don't know if it would take away brown spots because I didn't have them then. Retin A is also a prescription.

To keep them away, you must be diligent with daily sunscreen use. I find that really helps.

I don't have anything to recommend, but last week I purchased Ambi Fade Cream for oily skin at Target for less than 5 bucks. I'm going to stick with it for the recommended 3 months and see if it lightens my acne scars.

Good luck!

Sorry. It's called ASDM Beverly Hills. If you don't happen to live near Beverly Hills, you can go online. asdmbeverlyhills.com. They never charge shipping and there is a coupon on their website for 10% off first order. They have a full line of skincare depending on your needs. I'm 60 and can't believe the glow and firmness changes since I started using them in June. A small amount is all you need to do your face and neck. All ingredients are listed as well as detailed information.
