Dark spots and uneven tone
Dark spots come from the sun, aging, and old pimples. Fading them takes daily sunscreen and patience: creams usually need daily use for weeks or months, and deeper spots can take much longer.
Ingredients that help
- Retinoids, such as retinol and adapalene
- Vitamin C
- Azelaic acid
- Glycolic acid
- Kojic acid
- Niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and arbutin are also widely used
What dermatologists recommend
- Wear a broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 or higher sunscreen every day. It keeps new spots from forming, and spots can come back without it.
- Have a dermatologist look at a spot before you treat it. Some spots that appear with age aren't age spots, and skin cancer can look similar. See one for any spot that changes, itches, or bleeds.
- A tinted sunscreen with iron oxides also protects against visible light, which matters for dark spots on darker skin tones.
