Anti-aging ingredients:
Retinoids (retinol, retinaldehyde, tretinoin): Improve fine lines, skin texture, and pigmentation over time.

Peptides: Can help improve skin firmness. Hyaluronic acid: Plumps the skin by hydrating it.

Sun protection (SPF 30 or higher): Essential; without daily sun protection, dark spots often persist or reappear.

Over-the-counter products:

La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Serum

The Ordinary 10% Azelaic Acid Suspension

Olay Regenerist 24-Hour Retinol Night Moisturizer

Important note regarding the image:

The dramatic change visible in the photo is far greater than the results obtained with most creams in a short period of time. Real improvement in age spots and photoaging generally takes several weeks or even months. Some spots respond better to treatments performed by a dermatologist, such as chemical peels, laser treatments, or prescription medications.
