Sigh. I'm in my early 30's, and I'm starting to see sun spots on my face. I wear sun screen now, but unfortunately that wasn't the case when I was younger.

Any recommended products to help them from being more noticeable?

Philosophy's Miracle Worker Anti-aging Retinoid Pads will totally lighten them. Don't give up on them after a week, you've got to stick with it to see results, just like with any retinoid.

And do not sun tan any more at ALL. Wear at least a #30 sunscreen face neck, hands, chest - any exposed skin...365 days a year. I am 60 and started wearing sunscreen and never tanned again in my early 30's....my face only has mild sun marking, my neck, chest and hands are spotless.

Vitamin c in the AM and a retinol product in the PM helps mine. I am currently searching for new serums so I don't have any specific ones to recommend. I also wear at least a spf 30 everyday.

For a year, I tried Garnier Dark Spot Corrector with no results, I finally broke down and went to a derm that prescribed Retin A and hydroquinone for my dark spots.

Also, use a non chemical sunscreen. I think something with zinc oxide works the best. I notice my freckles don't come out if I use ZO. And, although I don't burn with a chemical sunscreen, my freckles darken. You're smart to address this while you're so young.

Porcelana has that hydroq in it and it's over the counter at walgreens, etc.

Ambi from Walmart. Contains 2% hydroquinone.

Also, Nadinola. It contains 3%, has Shea butter, too. I have a hard time finding it so order rom drugstore.com. If you don't want to use hydroquinone there are natural ingredients such as licorice root that will work over time. Paula's Choice has a nice brightening serum. Any of them will take time so you have to be faithful and patient when using them.

I don't have them on my face but I have them all over my legs. I've had some frozen off but the dermatologist says if I get in the sun they'll come right back. I'm embarrassed to even wear shorts in the summer. Wished I knew then about the sun what I know now!
