Recommendations For Dark Spot Removing Serums/Creams

Do you have a favorite tried and true age spot remover in your beauty routine? I have been using Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting BHA 9 at night and it is helping some. I used to use Clinique's, but, last time I checked, it was $179.00. I won't spend that much!

Just been watching Josie Maran show and wondering if her vitamin C spot remover is any good. I've never really put much faith in her products.

Re: Recommendations For Dark Spot Removing Serums/Creams

I use the Gold Bond stuff - Dark Spot Minimizing Creme - on my hands - the only place I have any spots.  It's been on the market for some time - and apparently folks are buying it - so I'm giving it a try.

 

I just started using it a week or so ago - and the spots are fading.  It says use twice I day - but I'm only using it overnight.  I don't want to get the stuff on my clothes or yarns.

 

The good news - is you can get it for under $10 at Amazon and at Walgreen's.

 

I tried the stuff from Avon - didn't work.  I tried to use the one of those hydroquinone products - but they burned my skin.

 

If the spots were anywhere but my hands - I'd just go to a dermatologst.

I use a cream from the OBAGI system. They now have a product that is free from hydroquinone. I use it for 4-6 wks. every night about every 6 months.It blends w/ your Retin A to make it more active and easier to spread.

Hydroquinone is the gold standard for lightening pigmentation.

My husband had a large dark spot & tryed several topicals & nothing worked well. He went to the derm. & she froze it. First it gets darker then it just peels off in a few days. Actually he did not notice the peeling tho but wella! it worked! Now its hardly detectable.
