How to remove age spots? - #12267

Aasha

I am really worried about these age spots that have suddenly started appearing on my hands and face. Just a few months ago, they were barely noticeable, but now it's like they’ve multiplied! I've tried using sunscreen every day hoping it would help, but I keep hearing from friends and online that I should be looking into how to remove age spots. My sister even recommended some cream, but I don’t want to just slather on anything without knowing if it works or if it could cause more harm than good. Last week, I went to my dermatologist, and she mentioned a few options like laser treatments and chemical peels, but they sound intense and pretty expensive, plus I'm worried about the recovery time. I mean, is it really worth it? Are there natural remedies or better over-the-counter products that can help too? How to remove age spots is what I'm searching for right now, and it feels like there are just so many conflicting articles out there! Ugh! Has anyone here faced this and actually found something that worked? I'm just trying to get some clarity, and if anyone can share their experience on how to remove age spots effectively, I would really appreciate it!
