Question

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for products to deal with hyper-pigmentation caused by sunspots. I already use retinol and vitamin C in my skincare routine but haven't seen much of a difference...any other ideas or should I just be patient?

Vitamin C, niacinamide, AHA, sunscreen! Incorporate all four diligently and over time, you will see your freckles fade and a more even skin tone. (I'm speaking from experience as someone who also had this concern and did this!)

This is golden. You prob want to make sure to use Niacinamide + AHA!

Niacinamide for sure. Also make sure you incorporate chemical exfoliation (AHA) so you can encourage skin turnover. None of this will make a difference though unless you use sunscreen.. so get on it if you aren't already!

Are you using sunscreen consistently?

Yes, I am! But maybe I need to switch to a stronger sunscreen, because the one I'm currently using still creates freckles for my skin. :(

Vitamin C should make a difference if you use it consistently over time. Niacinamide is great for hyper-pigmentation as are chemical exfoliants. If you don't incorporate an acid already, I'd do so. The products that Kelsie recommended below are great! Personally I love this face cream which has helped get clearer skin for my skin that's spent too much time in the sun.
