Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): Dilute ACV with water and apply to dark spots. Acetic acid can help lighten pigmentation.
Aloe Vera: The aloin compound in aloe vera can reduce pigmentation. Apply before bed and rinse off in the morning.
Green Tea Extract: Proven to reduce pigmentation, use green tea extract following the product’s instructions.
Black Tea: Although only tested on animals, soaking black tea leaves and applying them to the skin may help lighten spots.
Licorice Extract: Look for licorice-based creams, as the extract is known to reduce sun-induced pigmentation.
Orchid Extracts: Products containing orchid extracts, like masks or creams, can reduce the size and appearance of age spots.
Lactic Acid Peels: Lactic acid is a gentle exfoliant that lightens dark spots but should be followed by sunscreen use.
Other options, such as retinol-based products or professional treatments like microdermabrasion and laser therapy, can also be explored if natural remedies are not effective.
