Dark spots on face

I had one on my forehead that disappeared with high factor sun protection and a larger one on my neck fading . I’m finding Rosay Posay Anathelios factor 50 good at the moment as sinks in Quickly and invisible but moderately expensive at £19 at Boots or £17 on Amazon . Best to combat the cause - sun damage

Bio oil works for lots of skin problems including scars

I already use a variety of creams and serums. Aldi does a Rose Oil which I use. I use vitamin C serum amongst a host of other creams. One of my patches is getting bigger and I’m scrupulous at putting sun cream on and particularly on the patches.

I can’t afford to spend £500 on a treatment. I thought someone may have found something effective but cheap. I can’t think what it could be though. I’ll just have to live with them I suppose.

Vitamin C serum helped mine. It’s not too expensive. X

Sorry Casdon £500 on a brown mark !!!

I know - but the question was is there something that works, and IPL does.

Just use some Aldi makeup. Cheap as chips and it has a sunscreen built in. No good for hands, though, just face.

After too many hours out on the farm in all weathers, my face has lots of brown patches we didn't use suncream years ago, any suggestions for covering them up? I have never worn makeup the odd time I tried it I hated the feel of it but I am sure it must have improved just don't know what to buy.

You can, IPL does work, I know several people who have had it successfully. My friend had it just before Covid, and I think it was about £500 in total, she had three sessions. It hasn’t come back, but she wears Factor 50+ sunscreen all the time.

You can’t

You could try rose hip oil. It has helped fade the brown sun spots on the back of my hand.

If you have a clinic nearby that offers IPL (intense pulse light) treatments, they can help. A friend of mine went to a clinic to have hers looked at. I believe she had a to go a few times for results, and I didn't ask what it cost.

I've been using Boots No 7 Future Renew damage reversal serum morning and evening. It's proved very good at controlling darker areas of pigmentation. Some smaller dark spots have improved slightly but I think they are probably too old and deep to disappear completely.

I also use the night cream in the same range. During the day I add Ultrasun spf50 tinted moisturising anti-ageing sun protection in the honey colour. There is a more tan shade but that makes me look like an Oompaloompa!

Boots No 7 often have 3 for 2 offers.

I have used a Clarins face cream which helped to reduce sun spots but it was very expensive so I havent bought it for some time.

I think they have changed some of their creams recently as I can't find that one online but Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Gel Cream might help. On offer at the moment at Boots.

This one is a lot cheaper Eucerin Anti-Pigment Spot Corrector but is only a tiny 5ml, to target the dark spots, so ml for ml is more expensive.
