2. Arbutin (from Bearberry Extract)
Arbutin is a natural derivative of hydroquinone that studies show can inhibit melanin production more gently than synthetic versions. Creams containing bearberry extract are popular for targeted age spot treatment.
It works best alongside daily sunscreen.
1. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Niacinamide stands out in dermatological research for reducing melanin transfer while strengthening the skin barrier and improving texture. Serums with 5% concentration are widely recommended and generally non-irritating.
Many people notice visible improvement in age spots and overall radiance after consistent use.
