What Age Spots Are and Why Serums Help
Age spots are flat, darkened areas caused by years of sun exposure and melanin buildup. A targeted serum can deliver concentrated actives to the skin surface, helping to fade visible discoloration over time when used consistently.
Key Ingredients to Look For
Effective serums often include vitamin C, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, or gentle acids like lactic acid. These ingredients support cell turnover and help reduce the appearance of dark spots without harsh abrasion.
How to Choose and Use the Right Serum
Pick a serum suited to your skin type and sensitivity, and patch test before full use. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean skin, follow with moisturizer and sunscreen, and use daily for gradual, visible improvement.
