1% Retinol Has Caused More Age Spots to Appear?

Age spots can appear as a result of skin aging, sun exposure, or other forms of ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. In order to make sure you are protecting your skin, we recommend applying SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 in the evening. Follow with SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. This moisturizer has been proven to complement retinol application and helps reduce dryness/peeling. Formulated to address age-related lipid loss, Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 absorbs quickly and provides improvement in skin fullness, pore size, fullness, and overall radiance. Always make sure to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from environmental aggressors. SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF50 provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and helps boost the skin's natural defense against UV- and heat-induced stress. We hope this is helpful and let us know if you have any further questions.

I doubt that this is actually true. You just may be more aware of your face now and are noticing new spots as they appear. If you are using a retinol without a sunscreen it may be possible. In addition, if the retinol irriates your skin and you are getting red spots they can then turn brown-this is call post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
