The best product is. Sunscreen. But started at a young age, as age spots are sun damage.

I've started using a product by Charlotte Tilbury for that purpose, I have a couple on the side of my face. It takes 6 weeks to see a difference allegedly. Only into a 2nd week so can't say if I'd recommend it. Maybe I'll come back in a few weeks with an update.

Thank you crazyH. I use concealer and foundation but that seems to wear off during the day. Here’s hoping that someone has had a good result with one of the new products on the market !

I’ve had age spots since my teens. The age spots are now merging together and forming dark patches. Nothing worked for me. Elizabeth Arden’s 8 hour Cream etc etc…nothing helped. So now, I just use foundation to even the skin. That’s about it.
Another problem I have, is 2 little white patches under the eye. There’s a name for it - they say it’s a sign of high cholesterol. There are so many things I need to see the Doctor about 😫
I hope someone will come along with suggestions. Good luck !

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!
