Hands are a dead giveaway of age. At 67 I have no sunspots on my face, and I contribute that to approximately 3 decades of some sort of retinol and always sunscreen. I had no age spot on my hands until about 4 years ago, then a few started popping up. I have had a couple frozen off which did the trick as I am fair skinned. After showering in the morning, I use Alpha skin care lotion 12% glycolic acid to my hands and arms. At night I mix a pea size of my tretinoin with my hand lotion and rub it together on the back of my hands. I always wear driving gloves also.

[@lyndamoorhead]

This is such a random question but may I ask if your Alpha body lotion has an unusual smell to it..? Not a fragrance but just a vaguely not pleasant odour..? The smell of mine puts me off using it even though the results are great!

[@kathystclair9485]

@@lyndamoorhead I don't seem to notice an odor. If there is it certainly is not off putting. I get it off amazon. It is called Alpha skin care Revitalizing Lotion with 12% Glycolic AHA. It comes in a 12 oz plastic bottle that is white with some red labeling. It is 18.99. A bottle lasts a long time since I only use it on my arms and hands. If I remember correctly Angie Hot and Flashy has used this one for years. Hope this helps.

Hi Dr Dray, I've noticed that many of your videos mention oxidative stress as a factor in aging, pigment issues, etc. I would love to see a video dedicaed to information about oxidative stress--defining it, discussing the ways in which it affects the skin, and various ways to combat it.

I had picosure laser by a derm on some age spots on my legs, thinking I would do one on my chest and a couple on my arms if the legs worked. I wound up not only with white spots on my very fair skin, but almost constant flakiness on those spots even two years later. It would be easier to cover age spots with concealer than dealing with white crusty spots which are even harder to conceal. If you go the laser route, try it somewhere easily hidden to see how you react.

Thank you Dr. Dray for a very useful presentation on getting rid of sun spots; super info. You mentioned that the cells causing the sun spots are very sensitive to cold which is why they can be treat with liquid nitrogen but using liquid nitrogen seems like it might be an over-treatment. You said that these cells are killed at only -4 to -7 oC or 19 to 25 oF, which is well above a freezer's 0 oF temperature. Is it possible to treat sunspots by placing an ice pack, chilled in a freezer, on the sunspot area for a few minutes to selectively kill these cells?

Hi Andrea, can you discuss those red broken capillaries on the face. Does the difference in red color of those broken veins mean anything, like depth or vein type? Also, sunscreen in the ears causing ear acne? Should we be putting retinol/ retin A in the ear, not canal, or on earlobes? Seems like silly question but gravity hits everywhere.

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr Dray has a video on capillaries on the face. She's also got videos/shorts on ear blackheads.

[@kathystclair9485]

The ears do continue to grow as we get older. At my age (67) I have not seen a change in my lobes. But, I have never worn earrings either. I think you can look at an aging woman and tell she has worn earrings all her life, especially heavy ones because the lobes look stretched.

[@LavenderCross75]

That's more than likely rosacea type 1. I have the broken blood vessels on my face and my dermatologist diagnosed me with rosacea type 1. The red color has nothing to do with depth or vein type. It just usually indicates inflammation.

[@shadowtouched16]

@db-gb5xi thanks, maybe I will wait for the Dr to answer.

I grew up in the south of France. Quite often, after being sunburnt, I use to peel bits of my skin and I remember the very pink skin underneath. Sun creams were not very common then. Now I am paying the price. Regarding IPL, it will remove the spots, but apparently, after a while, they come back with a vengeance. It is because anything which irritates the skin, which reacts by producing more melanin. The best thing to use is liquorice and vitamin C, but not together. Castor oil is also good, but be careful with it because you may grow hair.

@@signsandgraphicsinc Hi, on my body, I don't use anything. For the face, neck and hands I use the vitamin C Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F from the Ordinary (to lighten dark spots and avoid them), over that the Amino Acids + B5 for the hydration, over that the buffet for anti-aging and to seal it all in Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. All from The Ordinary. It takes only a minute for those ingredients to be taken up by my skin and I can put my tinted sunscreen from Australian Gold SPF 50. The last one is a bit too drying for my taste. So if someone has a good tinted sunscreen for cool toned skin, that is not drying... I am all ears. I have sensitive skin and I had been searching for years for a face care routine I would stick to. And I have been doing the above for three years now. In my book that is amazing. But what really took care of my milia is the Cerave wash gel that I added like a 1.5 years ago.

Will products containing peptides like Matrixyl 3000 or EGF such as Purito centella unscented serum and Klairs midnight blue calming cream cause moles on the face?

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr Dray has at least one video on moles and she's reviewed products containing those peptides and the other products as well. You can check those out and see if that comes up.

What makes you think these ingredients cause moles? Ty

[@user-gn5lt6ze3u]

​@@LavenderCross75 A friend of mine used a product with Matrixyl 3000 and EGF, and she ended up getting moles all over her face. Her dermatologist warned her against it, especially since she's genetically predisposed to moles - said it could lead to even more if she continued using the product.

​@@db-gb5xi I'll check it out. Thanks a lot

Hi Dr Dray, if using Adapalene gel for age spots, do we do spot treatment or do it like for acne( whole area)?

[@Raisin9502]

I’d like to know too! I would assume spot treatment

[@db-gb5xi]

I'd check her differin/adapalene videos but generally she has said not to spot treat with retinoids.

[@nancymccormick7567]

Great information!! I also have textured skin and wonder what could help with that

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr Dray has videos on textured skin.

[@nancymccormick7567]

@@db-gb5xi I have to search for them

[@StormyDay]

What about when the age spot gets flaky? I had one that blistered all on its own! It was scary!

[@gardenhappy4]

Good video but so loaded with info that I wish it were time-stamped.

[@Skincare247]

Me too.

Would pico laser be an option for sunspots on the face, Dr. Dray?
