Is there actually a product on the market that reduces and prevents dark/age spots? There are so many new ones advertised but I’d like recommendations from Gransnetters as to any that actually work!

Thank you for all your recommendations ( I knew I would get a great response from my fellow Gransnetters). There is a lot of information here going from cheap to expensive remedies. I shall research all the products mentioned and in the meantime will keep applying the sunscreen so hopefully I won’t get any more ☀️😎

Just wondered if having freckles increased the likelihood of age spots developing as they look the same colour but bigger. I have been working in the garden the past two days and noticed freckles popping up on my hand and are an exact match colourwise to age spots.

Some people say lemon juice helps to lighten age spots.

I just purchased L"Oreal Bright Reveal serum with niacinamide. I'll give it a month and get back to you all!

I have age spots on my right hand and have found organic rose hip oil to be a great help at fading them. I also apply some to my face before foundation which contains sunscreen.
I shall pass on some of the ideas here to dd who has one on her face now covered by a fringe.
