Age spots are a very common skin problem that we often struggle to get rid of. Stubborn brown spots are, in fact, difficult to reduce. But there is an effective solution to remove them according to Dr. Dennis Gross. The dermatologist reveals his “miracle” tip to us.
THE pigment spots are due to a disruption of the natural pigmentation process of the skin and more precisely to an excessive accumulation of melanin in certain areas. If we have to have them consulted by a dermatologist regularly to be sure we have correctly identified them, most often, we only have one idea in mind: to reduce them.
