Safest treatment for age spots and fine wrinkles

Tretinoin (or Retrinol) in combination with a bleaching agent (i.e. hydroquinone) and a topical Vitamin C product can be effective in reducing the appearance of age spots and fine lines. In addition, one should use sunscreen regularly, wear protective clothing, and avoid sun when possible. In addition, several treatments are available when the above fails, including chemical peels, photo-rejuvenation, and laser resurfacing.

Safe treatment for aging spots, fine wrinkles and dull skin

The first step is to use daily sunscreen with SPF 50+, anti-oxidant serum, tretinoin cream and AHA's. Start slowly so your skin can become accustomed to them.

This helps improve the firmness and elasticity needed to help correct the fine wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin. These wavelengths are also able to be absorbed by targeted areas of melanin in order to break up the pigment so... more

Safest treatment for aging spots, wrinkles and dull skin

One of the most effective (and least expensive) ways to reverse the effects of chronic sun damage to your skin is by using a combination of two prescription strength medications: tretinoin cream and 4% hydroquinone cream. Unlike the unsubstantiated claims made by over-the-counter skin care products, the results of using these creams are backed by real medical science.

Because I've tried it, I can say that fraxel procedure is one of the safest treatments for combating the wrinkles and the acne scars. For me it was really useful... I've got my desired results and it's all that matters. So, this is my opinion... for me it worked :D
