Facial spots are a common problem that can affect people of all ages. These spots can vary in size, color and shape, and their causes are diverse. Among the most common types are sun spots, eflides or freckles, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and lentigines. Each type of spot requires a specific approach to its treatment and dermatologists often recommend depigmentation creams appropriate for each case.
What are skin spots?
The appearance of spots is related to an excessive production of melanin, a pigment that gives color to our skin whose synthesis is directly related to sun exposure, although other aspects such as taking certain medications or hormonal changes can also influence. There are different types of spots, but if we have to choose the ones that are most related to prolonged exposure to the sun, they would be ‘solar lentigines’. These spots are usually light to dark brown in color and are located on sun-exposed areas, such as the face, hands, and arms. Over time, continued exposure to the sun can increase the number and intensity of these spots.
Dermatologists say the best way to prevent sun spots is to protect your skin from the sun by using broad-spectrum sunscreen, hats, and protective clothing. However, once stains have appeared, there are specific products that can help reduce their appearance.
What product to use for facial spots caused by the sun
To treat facial spots caused by the sun, dermatologists often recommend the use of depigmenting creams that contain active ingredients such as azelaic acid, kojic acid, glycolic acid, vitamin C or retinol. These components help exfoliate the skin, reduce melanin production and lighten existing spots. In addition, the daily use of sun protection is essential to prevent its appearance.
Azelaic acid
It is a saturated dicarboxylic acid that can be obtained from different cereals and has demonstrated depigmentation effectiveness against different types of stains.
Kojic acid
Kojic acid is a depigmenting agent derived from certain fungi and is effective in reducing hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production, making it a popular choice among dermatologists. Sesderma Kojicol Plus Depigmenting Gel is one of the best creams for facial blemishes that include kojic acid.
Glycolic acid
Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and promoting cell renewal. Regular use can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of sun spots. One of the best creams with glycolic acid is AGLICOLIC Liposomal Serum.

In what other areas can spots appear?
In addition to the face, spots can appear on other parts of the body exposed to the sun and environmental factors. The hands, neck, neckline, and arms are common areas where sun and age spots can develop. The skin in these areas is thinner and often more exposed to damage caused by UV rays.
It is crucial to apply sunscreen daily to all areas exposed to the sun to prevent new spots and protect the skin from premature aging.
