When you are looking for a face lotion to reduce age spots, most sources will suggest creams containing hydroquinone and they call it "safe". That seems like a contradiction. How can a face lotion reduce age spots, safely, when it is accompanied by the risk of adverse reactions and long-term damage?
The ingredient has been banned in several countries, because it may increase a person's risk of cancer. It should have been banned years ago, because it can cause the opposite effect of increased pigmentation. Complaints about a hydroquinone face lotion to reduce age spots include darkening and too much lightening of the area. Obviously, the effect that it has cannot be controlled. It's too unstable.
So, how can a face lotion reduce age spots safely and effectively? If it contains an extract from the cyperus rotundus root, a well-known medicinal plant among traditional healers, it can lighten and even out pigmentation, by inhibiting melanin production. But, if you like your skin's color, other than the spot, beware. By inhibiting melanin production, it will lighten your skin's tone. If you don't want to be "whiter", you might want to choose something else.
How can a face lotion reduce age spots without inhibiting melanin production? That's a good question, since the spot is a melanin clump, similar to a freckle. Here's the answer.
Creams that contain a proprietary ingredient called Cynergy TK have been shown to increase the production of superoxide dismutase and glutathione within the skin's cells. These antioxidants will help reverse brown pigmentation caused by UV exposure or environmental pollutants.
You might also look for a face lotion to reduce age spots that contains coenzyme Q10. Another antioxidant, COQ10 has been shown in clinical studies to reverse sun damage. Sun damage is what caused that spot to appear in the first place. You probably spent too much time outside, without protection, either over the course of several years or during a single trip to the beach.
Can a face lotion reduce age spots without bleaching? If you are fair skinned, you will undoubtedly notice that you skin looks lighter. How much lighter depends on how much or how little time that you spend in the sun. If you are still thinking that a tan is attractive, consider this. Fair skinned people that spend enough time in the sun to acquire a tan have far more wrinkles than people that limit sun exposure.
Basically, you might not need a face lotion to reduce age spots if you had spent a little less time in the sun or you had made efforts to protect your skin. If you are saying, "Wait, but I always wore sunscreen." That's not surprising. Most sunscreens are actually ineffective. Only zinc oxide is truly effective and people don't like it, because it doesn't disappear.
So, can a face lotion reduce age spots, safely? Yes it can, as long as it contains the right ingredients. Read the label carefully, before you buy face lotion to reduce age spots. That's the best advice.
