..or ideally anything that gets rid of it. I've had it popping up over my face the past couple of years but it seems to be getting worse despite me wearing high sun factor.
It's also appearing under my eyes which is giving me a really tired and old look which just won't do! Angry

I would suggest either or both Retin a cream or micro needling. Both can be bought on amazon. Read makeup alley reviews.

Can't be used too close to eyes. But rest of the face is just fine.

Google and see reviews for both to decide.

You could also have ipl/laser but that's ££££.

Retin a cream on amazon or eBay is circa £15 for a tube which will last months.

Micro needle roller circa £20 plus a tenner for sterilising solution.

Alpha H liquid gold has really helped mine but over a long period of time, not a quick fix.

Get referred to a dermatologist. Skinoren cream, and weekly 50% glycolic acid peels. Factor 50 SF applied twice a day every day. And don't get pregnant again!
