Combat Pigmentation Spots
For skin prone to pigmentation, spots emerge early—often before 30—and grow in size and intensity. The premier antioxidant, Vitamin C, prevents and repairs them effectively. It also smooths wrinkles and brightens complexion. Sun exposure (and the pill) drives spots, so pair with daytime SPF. Extend protection to hands and décolleté.
Start at: 20 years old if parents are spot-prone and you have fair, thin skin.
Frequency: Morning and evening.
Smokers: Choose AHAs
Anti-aging benefits: Smoking rapidly ages skin. Fruit acids (AHAs or LHAs) counteract via exfoliation, spurring cell renewal and collagen for daily and lasting radiance. Mild tingling at first? Apply every other day to acclimate.
Start at: 25 years.
Frequency: Daily mornings once tolerated.
