Age/sun spot creams...

[gettingfitmom]

Has anyone tried any of these? What is your feedback? There are so many out there. Can anyone recommend any OTC creams? Thank you!!!!!!!!!

The only thing that helped me was Retin A. I tried the hydroquinone and every otc product there is. I finally got the retin a from alldaychemists. It completely got rid of two on my nose but the third seems to be a little more stubborn!

I have tried hydroquinine, lumitone (both prescription) and a whole bevy of OTC creams with zilch success on any of them.

jackie7, do you use the retinA every day? Did you have any reaction to it at first? Even they hydroquinine was pretty rough on my skin; I just wonder how the retinA would be.

Has anyone ever tried lasers?

I use prescription retin A...when you first use it you have to prepare yourself for a few weeks of facial peeling....I just exfoliate it every morning (not at night) and that helps deal with that. It has not done anything much for my spots, but it does help your face look firmer and tighter...

As Tracy said, you will peel and need to exfoliate. I use mine everynight and once I get over the initial peeling, I am fine. As I said the two lesser spots are gone and the other one is going. I just have to be diligent using my sunscreen every day.

Thanks for the info ladies; I think I will give retinA a try then. Jackie7, did you need a prescription for your order form alldaychemists (I looked on the site and there were some overwhelming options)? Or is there an OTC brand someone would recommend?

You don't need a prescription to order from them just your doctor's name and phone number. I ordered Retin A 0.1 gel Tretinoin Gel $3.53. I order a number of tubes since the s&H is so expensive. I also send a money order for payment. Good luck!
