If you're looking for age spot lotions that really work, then you're not alone, and there are ways to determine which ones work and which don't before you've even tried them.
1.
Avoid Chemicals Chemical bleaching agents like hydroquinone sure do fade your age spots, but what are the consequences for your skin? It may get irritated, and you might even get something worse as hydroquinone is banned in many countries for being a carcinogen.
Other chemicals that may harm your skin in long-term use are parabens, fragrances, sulfates and dioxanes.
2.
No Cheap Fillers Mineral oil is a petrol by-product, and used in many lotions but may cause age spots and faster skin aging.
Alcohol is another ingredient which may cause spots and premature wrinkling.
3.
A Proven Ingredient Look for age spot lotions with an ingredient that is proven to lighten age spots and at the same time give benefits to the skin.
An example of such an ingredient is Extrapone Nutgrass root, which in clinical studies is proven to reduce melanin in the skin with over 40%.
This means it will lighten spots, and this natural substance soothes the skin at the same time.
4.
Anti-Aging Ingredients An effective age spot lotion should be good for the skin all-round and promote younger-looking skin.
There are several proven effective natural ingredients today like CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10.
5.
The Right Amounts Look for a product that has the right mix of ingredients.
There should be about 0.
5% Nutgrass root and about 50% active anti-aging ingredients, this makes an extremely effective product.
