Need an Advise to Take off Brown Spots on My Face

This is what I used to bleach my moustache and it also lightened a patch of dark scare tissue I had from a breakout.

Mix baking soda with hydrogen peroxide to make a paste. Cake the paste on the area you want to bleach and leave it there for 10-20 min. As it starts to dry out use a Q-tip to dab a little more peroxide on the paste.

Hi M.,

I work with a wellness company which has a product especially for removing brown spots on the skin. It is a product made with natural plant derivatives. Please feel free to look at my website and let me know if you want more information about this product.

Hi M.,

I've read the responses you've received thus far, and many of them are right on the money. Before moving to California I worked for dermatologists and plastic surgeons in Manhattan, NY.

First you should ask your self a few questions:

Where are the dark patches and how severe are they?
How sensitive is your skin? To products, sun, stimulation, etc...
What is your family history regarding the skin issue/s you are concerned with? Genetics play a major part.
What is your medical history? Is there something that caused the “spots/patches” to appear? Age, diet, environmental (excessive sun exposure), and physical (birth of a child) all need to be considered before you select a product or regimen.
How compliant will you be using your choice of skin care? And are your expectations realistic?
How aggressive are you willing to be with you choice of treatment?
Is an organic, homemade, or over-the-counter product something you might choose? (Please note, most products sold over the counter - i.e. in a drug store or the like, are not regulated/managed by a skin care professional or MD thus they cannot by mandate of the FDA have the same amounts of active (aggressive) ingredients in them due to the chance of over use and or harm to the consumer.) With-that-said medical grade skin care isn't necessarily better. It simply, in most cases, works faster and you have a skin care professional overseeing your progress and care. Many products are know as “systemic”, they not only affect the area/s to which they are applied, they can affect/change other areas as well. This is especially true when using many medical grade products. Areas to avoid are - eye area, nostril area and around the lips. These areas are VERY sensitive and react to products even if they have not been applied to them. This is not to say you should not consider medical grade products, on the contrary, it is simply a word of caution. Nothing is worse than feeling bad about an aspect of your appearance and unknowingly causing another area of concern.

M., these question can only be answered by you.

I can suggest what many of the other women have already suggested 2% Hydroquinone. You MUST wear sunscreen while using this product. You will experience red skin in the area you have applied the cream/lotion. Once your skin adjusts you will notice the areas fading. I am not and do not represent the following product suggestion, I know it works because it worked for me and for many of the clients who came into the offices I worked for in Manhattan. If you should be interested, try the Glytone products. They are corrective yet not too aggressive. There are other more aggressive products like Obagi, and less aggressive products like Dermalogica. Whichever you choose keep in mind, skin cells take 6 weeks for complete turnover. Although you may notice change before then, you should give any product 6 weeks before you go on to the next one.

I wish you only the very best.

Any product with Hydroquinone will work, but it is processed through your liver (even though it is a topical medication) - so if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have liver issues to begin with, you can't use it. It is pretty serious stuff. Other than that, you can have laser treatment done at the dermatologist's office.

Hi M., I would love to help you. I sell a product that will help reverse the aging signs visable in your skin. This would include any sun spots, acne scaring, discoloring, etc. I have been using it on my chest for broken capalaries and it is doing wonders. Call me ###-###-#### or email at ____@____.com. Thanks and good luck, P.

It's not organic, but Hydroquinone. Any skin-bleaching creme, basically. It's not harmful but you need to keep out of the sun.

I use retinol products- Skin Ceuticals makes a good one, and I have one from Cosmedix that I really like. Make sure to ask a professional about how to use- I had to gradually work it into my regimine at night (if you just start using it regularly it can make you peel). I have noticed a huge difference in the spots on my face. It evens out skin tone and reduces hyperpigmentation. Sunscreen is SOOO important, everyday, because any resurfacing product is going to leave your skin more vulnerable to the sun... and more damage.

I've tried many products, mostly hydroquinone products, and nothing worked that well for me. In the end, after about 20 years of hating my freckles, I got a photofacial (laser) at my dermatologist's office, and all of my freckles literally fell off within 4 or 5 days. I know it's not organic and is costly, but seriously, I cannot recommend it enough.

I have used the anti-aging system from Arbonne and it has lightened up by dark spots and reduced my wrinkles. It is a botanically based product and it does get good results. You can check out my website at http://www.skincarehealth.myarbonne.com for more information. I offer a 20% discount off the retail prices. Let me know if you would like to try a sample or if you would like more information.

Hi M.,
The best product on the market is the REVERSE line by Rodan + Fields Dermatologists! It has 2 % Hydroquinone in two of their products plus Retinol and when piggybacked togther it is AMAZING!
Recognized on Allure Magazine’s A List. And 100% money back guarantee! I had struggles with this same issue, went to Hawaii and came back with a great tan but a face full of dark spots! I was desperate because I had tried many things and spent tons of money to no avail. My good friend recommended the REVERSE Regimen from Nordstrom, she said it was the only thing that would work because it was medicated. I was blown away by the results! It completely brightened my skins complexion , faded my brown/dark spots in about 6 - 8 weeks, my skin looked & still looks incredible! I receive tons of compliments!
How this works it is a 4 - step regimen that is medicated OTC products, so you do not need a prescription or go to the Dermatologist! It either works or you get your money back, pretty cool, huh? That's what I thought! The (4) Step Regimen includes steps: (1) An exfoliating facial wash, (2) Medicated Toner - 2 % Hydroquinone that lightens and brightens(3) Medicated lotion -2 % Hydroquinone lightens and brightens and (4) SPF/Sunscreen (broad spectrum) -so you keep those nasty little spots away for good! Also try to stay out of the sun!
I did not realize that 90% of the population has some form of sun damage that makes their skin look dull or gives them brown spots - this product will REVERSE the effects and prevent future ones.
They no longer sell it at Nordstrom's or Saks but have moved their company to the waive of the future, online sales. I loved the line so much that I decided to distribute it on the side so I can get a discount on my personal products! So if you'd like more info. on this please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help answer any questions you may have.

You will be blown away by the results!

Jafra makes a Pigment Lightening Pen which DOES NOT use hydroquinine, but instead contains Melanostatine, Azeloglycina, Ever Cellwhite (a blend of natural peony and pueraria root), Gigawhite ( a blend of mallow, peppermint & melissa extracts) and Kava Kava. Jafra also makes a Skin Brightening Serum which works well too, though the Pigment Fade works more agressiviely. Email me directly at ____@____.com if you're interested and I'll be happy to give you more information and/or ship you the products, as I'm an independant Jafra Consultant.

There are some plant based products that help with brown spots (called hyperpigmentation) but they take a long time to work. There is a chemical ingredient called hydroquinone that works well but has some side effects, dry skin, slightly toxic if used for a long time. A company called Skinceuticals have some great vitamin C serums to help your skin and also a plant based gel for hyperpigmentation. Your best bet is to wear sunscreen religously every day and use products with ingredients to help the brown spots. GOod luck.

Dear M.,
For one thing, be sure to always wear a really good sunscreen and a hat as well when you're outdoors. I went through a bout of melasma, and being in the sun made it much darker.
My mom swears by rubbing a slice of lemon on the skin. Just be careful not to get it in your eyes!

I went to get my broken veins taken care of at a laser center, and for people who have a lot of brown spots on thier skin- lasers really work!!! They had the most improvement.

I used Esoterica to remove freckles on my face as a teenager. Did the job! It has the hydoquinone ingredient mentioned below. Not very expensive, either.

Until the other products recommended take affect and remove the brown spots, you could use L'Oreal Bare Natural mineral powder to cover them up. Works like magic when you find the right shade. Stores like Longs allow you exchange them until you find the right shade. I've tried a lot of other 'concealers' and none worked nearly as well.

Onions also can be used for removing freckles and brown spots. For better result, use red onion instead of the normal one. Take one red onion and cut it into thick slices and then rub the onion slices gently on the freckles twice daily. You must continue this remedy daily until the freckles fade away. Another option is to grate one red onion and extract its juice and then apply the juice onto the affected skin area twice a day. For better result, add a teaspoon of vinegar to onion juice. If this remedy is repeated for a week or two, nothing can stop you from enjoy spotless skin.

I'm a Licensed Medical Aesthetician and I've seen it all in the medical spa that I worked at. First, do you have any allergies to specific ingredients? Are the spots sun damage, acne scars,or from pregnancy? The best product that I have used and have recommended to clients is CAUDALIE VINOPERFECT. You can buy it at Sephora. It has won many awards like Best of Sephora($79). It is natural and hydroquinone free. The ingredient that they use to lighten and brighten your complexion is patented and is called Vinoferine which comes from grapes. It is a treatment serum and you use it twice a day am/pm after you cleanse and tone but before your put your moisturizer. Also you NEED to wearing Sunscreen at least a 30 UVA /UVB broad spectrum to protect from anymore damage. It makes no sense to buy a product to help even out the skin tone and then go out in the sun- UV light is from the computer, tv and lamps. Also, if your not "sensitve" to products I would also advise to use a Glycolic face wash like DDF Glycolic Face Wash (Sephora too) to help exfoliate your skin faster and allowing the Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum to penetrate faster and deeper. Nothing happens overnight- you need to use the treatment serum consistently for 30 days, 2x a day at least to see any fading- best results after 3 months. Everybody's skin is different but I have seen amazing results by following these tips! I hope that helps!
