If you want a more instant result - you may prefer to opt for a chemical peel - perhaps after an initial application of a good fade cream. Chemical peels that use glycolic acid work by removing the outer layers of skin and the age spots together. You need to be aware that a chemical peel won't necessarily remove your age spots in one treatment. You may need repeated treatments in order to completely remove them.

A more effective and much more long term treatment to consider is laser resurfacing which works in a simular way to a chemical peel by removing the outer layers of skin with the age spots. Laser treatment is extremely effective and likely to be much more long term than a chemical peel but it can be costly.

Prevention is always better than cure - especially if you spend a small fortune on treating your age spots. The best way to prevent age spots recurring is to use an effective sunscreen or sun block.

An anti aging moisturizer with a broad spectrum sunscreen should be an essential part of your daily skin care routine. The result will be younger looking skin - less wrinkled, smoother and free of age spots.
