The reason why most over the counter age spot remover do not work is because they are not meant to!!!. Don’t be surprised. It’s a fact. They are just plain simple foundations or concealers. They are capable of only hiding the spots and not treating them.
There are 2 basic issues with such products
1. Presence of Harmful Ingredients
Most of the products in skin care industry thrive on consumer greediness to look young and beautiful. The competition is so tough and margins so less that these companies compromise on quality. They use easily available and inexpensive ingredients like Mineral Oil, Petroleum Jelly and Parabens to manufacture the products. In the quest of luring customers most over the counter age spot remover use fragrances; you will be surprised to know that fragrances are made of more than 4000 chemicals that can harm your skin. Think yourself — with so many harmful ingredients what possible benefits any age spot remover can give you?
2. Lack of Effective Ingredients
Age spots occur because of accumulation of melanin beneath our skin. Melanin accumulates because it breaks down in presence of sunlight. These over the counter age spot remover do not consist of active ingredients that can fight the activity of melanin. Instead they contain chemicals that temporarily hide them. Had there been ingredients that fight the accumulation of melanin; the product would have really been effective.
Solution to get rid of age spots
As we discussed that accumulation of melanin is the root cause of age spots. To remove such spots you need ingredients like Extrapone Nutgrass. It is an herb found in various parts of Asian countries. It has a striking capability to attack the accumulated melanin and fade away these ugly looking spots. It is also very helpful in giving an overall fair complexion to skin.
You will not find this ingredient in over the counter age spot remover; instead you will have to do some research on the internet to zero in on products that contain this ingredient.
