Is there an age spot cream that works?!

lovethymini

I've tried a sample tube of Chanel age spot remover, but it hasn't made one bit of difference.

I'm 35 and have age spots on both temples and I want to minimise them as much as possible. (My dad's got them in the same place, so it's mostly his fault.)

I just want to know if anyone thinks they've found a cream that works for them - I hate wasting money and some of these creams cost so much!

TIA

I have used bio-oil on my chest to help with brown patches and uneven skin tone and have seen a good improvement. It around £6-£9 a bottle, depending where you buy it, but lasts for ages.

and search this board as it has been quite extensively discussed previously here.

I've never used it, but there is a cream called Fade Out that I've seen in shops.

Have you tried some mineral based concealer. I have three really loud marks
on my face and it covers them up brilliantly. Ask for a sample in Boots, they are pretty good there and they stay covered up all day

My mother has used fade out for many years. I think it slowed progression (comparing the difference when she was/wasn't uing it) I'm not sure it got rid of anything.
She's had lazer treatment recently, which has been expensive, but incomparable to the cream. They have sold her an (expensive) cream called ''Yellow cream'' which they are insistant will, with sun protection, prevent them recurring.

Its my destiny too - I've already warned DH I'll be lazering.

I saw a few years ago in a newspaper article that a man with cancer started taking selenium supplements to help him recover from the disease, and one of the side effects that he reported was his age spots vanished.

I've been taking selenium supplements since, although i can't tell you if it works as im only 26, so im taking them as a preventative!

I use that and it worked for me. I'm really fair skinned and have been a bit careless with suncream in the past.

You can buy a cheaper version called Rescue Oil. I last bought a bottle in the poundshop, although I've seen another cheaper version in Home Bargains for about £2.50 I use it on a morning as a cleanser and wipe it off with hot water. I've noticed a difference in my own skin.
