Removing sun spots/brown spots

4 replies

Hi,
Due to not using sun cream properly in the past, I have developed lots of brown spots on my face. I have attached a pic. Will these fade with time?

I’m using sun cream regularly now so will that help them to fade? Also using acid toners (salicylic and glycolic) regularly.

Thanks for any advice!

Are they flat moles or brown spots?

I have always had brown patches on my face, much worse during the summer (despite using factor 50) I've tried all sorts to remove/hide them (without success), but recently discovered The Ordinary skincare range, and it is amazing!

Have a look on Feelunique, they have lots on there (I can send you a referral code if you haven't used them before)

Tretinoin might help. You can get from a private dermatologist (c. £90) or buy over the counter in some European countries (the product name differs depending on the country - eg: Airol in Greece, Retirides in Spain) (c. Euro 15).

Do lots of research before you start using though as you have to stay out of the sun and it's not suitable if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Are you sure they are sun spots?

Despite the low prices, Sr skincare offer fantastic products.

To my horror I discovered a sun spot at the side of my face and using Luminosa, it has completely disappeared.
