Very good concealer for age spots?

I'm happy with my 54 yo face apart from a few small but dark age spots on my right side (presumably from driving 15000 miles annually!).
I only wear a light tinted sunscreen but would love an industrial strength concealer to spot conceal the spots. Any suggestions folks? I'm very pale and cool toned.

If you’re very pale you might be a good candidate for laser removal. I had a session mostly for thread veins which worked a treat and also two sun spots - but for me it didn’t work at all!
I like the rimmel concealer as it does stay put.

Blimey, I didn't know you could get them lazered! Was it expensive?

I use Lisa Eldridge pin point concealer on a sunspot, it's pretty good but you need to let it dry a bit and powder.

I have a large one in middle of my nose of all places- I use IT cosmetics dark spot concealer - definitely takes off the worst of it

I find the Charlotte Tilbury colour corrector better than a concealer.

I just use the thicker residue of my foundation from around the top of the bottle / tube and dab it on gently

@Squirrelsnut£200 for laser session but this was also for thread veins so it might be less. Definitely worth looking into.

I have sunspots/pigmentation and I've found consistent use of vitamin C serum in the morning, SPF50 and tretinoin at night has really evened out my complexion, both on my face and the backs of my hands. So I'd look to your skincare as well (I'm a bit older than you btw, so never too late) and have patience (I've been following this routine for about 14 months).

NARS creamy concealer has good coverage also, while you wait for the skincare to do its work!

its a couple of hundred to a few hundred depending how many spots and sessions you need doing. It doesn’t have a very high success rate even if you go for it

I think touch eclat or acne spot cover up like Revlon work best.
Just to say also that Tret removed a horrible age spot on my cheekbone once I was using 0.05%. it sort of peeled off in the end. Was very happy. I'd tried ever age spot cream going beforehand
