Summary

What is an anti-brown spot cream?

An effective cream against brown spots will help to eliminate brown spots by pursuing several objectives:

  • Correct the brown spots;
  • Even out the complexion and make it brighter;
  • Smooth the skin and act on other signs of aging (wrinkles and loss of firmness);
  • Protect the skin daily, especially from the harmful effects of the sun.

What does an anti-brown spot cream contain?

A hyperpigmentation cream will contain several types of ingredients:

  • Depigmenting active ingredients to reduce the marks;
  • Antioxidant active ingredients to protect cell membranes;
  • Anti-aging active ingredients to act on skin aging;
  • Keratolytic active ingredients to promote cell renewal;
  • UV filters to protect cells from sun damage.

Can I use an anti-brown spot cream on my hands?

Brown spots on the hands are often due to age and excessive sunlight. It is important that you take care of your hands daily by applying a moisturising and depigmenting cream formulated specifically for them that contains UV protection.

Can I use an anti-brown spot cream during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

The ingredients used in some anti-brown spot creams are not compatible with pregnancy or breastfeeding. Pregnant and breastfeeding women have therefore long believed that they cannot use creams to reduce their brown spots.

But there are several anti-brown spot creams that are perfectly compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding. You can check this by reading the labels or asking your doctor or pharmacist.
