And all the better if they are reasonably priced! I have quite dry skin, if that makes any difference. I've tried googling but keep getting American products.

SPF 50 to stop them getting worse

Try a mild skin peel once a week

Tranexamic acid might help. Cheap as chips in Superdrug

Lumene’s Vit C serum completely erased a large liver spot on my cheek. I used it every morning under my moisturiser. It’s very light weight, not oily but didn’t leave my skin tight feeling either. I’ve since used other serums and so far it hasn’t come back.

I had a large age spot on my cheek and I went to a dermatologist who froze it with liquid nitrogen. It was very effective, and not expensive.

@teezletangler I’m really interested in this. What is your skin like where the age spot was? I have read it can scar or leave a very visible white patch. Was it painful?

@JoanDarc Yes I was told by the doctor that the spot might end up lighter, but it didn't. It was quite a dark, noticeable patch before and I'd say now it's at least 50% lighter. Not noticeable at all now if I have foundation on.

IPL worked wonders for my sun damage.

Thanks- I actually had some vit c serum in the cupboard, so will try that on it first.

la roche posay effaclar duo

It's an acne treatment which is what I bought it for but it has done wonders for my skin texture and has evened out my complexion and reduced scars from old spots. I was getting hyperpigmentation on my top lip as well and that's totally gone.
