Can anyone recommend a reliable product for fading these? I have had them on my forehead for a while but they are covered by my fringe. However now they are appearing on my cheeks and top lip sad

I use Nivea cellular Luminous anti dark spot age cream Boots have it on offer at the moment.
Summer is coming so I use Olay everyday sunshine to make the brown patch much less obvious

Sadly no.
I have spent a lot of money in the past on various products and the best I can do is Charlotte Tillbury concealer.

I also use the Nivea cellular Luminous anti-dark spot age cream.

It has also worked on spider veins on my face, they have faded enough not to need concealer.

But does it make any difference to the ‘sunspots’ sounds so much better than age spots 😂
Does it work straight away or over a long period of time ?

Looking at the reviews on Amazon most people liked it but said it made little or no difference

I happened to see an advert for skin tag/mole patches on Ebay. They were cheap so I thought they were worth a try. I used them on a raised age spot on my face, but needless to say I can see no change, although it may be a little paler.

I'll try this on my spider veins too. Thanks for the tip.

I hope you’re using a good sunscreen every day to stop them getting darker and more appearing, OP.

No I'm not - and I know that's something I need to do blush I like Nivea products so will try the one suggested as well thanks.

I've recently had some IPL (intense pulsed light) on sun damage, brown spots and broken capillaries (course of 3 £300) - not a minor cost BUT the sun damage and brown spots have GONE in 2 sessions - the broken capillaries are more difficult. You do have to wear sun screen after or might have wasted the money!
