Cream for Dark Spots & Age Spots

Dark spots and age spots: what is the difference?

Both are caused by excess melanin, the skin's own pigment. They differ in their triggers:

• Age spots: light to dark brown spots that appear from around 40 on areas exposed to the sun, especially the face, hands and décolleté. The main cause is years of UV exposure.
• Sun spots: appear after intense sun exposure, even at a younger age.
• Hormonal pigmentation (melasma): flat patches triggered by pregnancy, the pill or menopause.
• Post-inflammatory marks: dark marks left by spots, irritation or aesthetic treatments.

What a cream for dark spots should do

• Regulate pigment: brightening actives such as Beta-White reduce excess melanin production.
• Protect with antioxidants: vitamin C and vitamin E defend against free radicals, which promote new spots.
• Strengthen the barrier: nourishing oils and moisture keep the skin resilient.
• Work together with sun protection: only with daily SPF 50 can spots fade lastingly.

Cream for age spots: what matters from 40 onwards

Age spots develop over years and are among the typical signs of skin ageing. A good cream for age spots combines brightening actives with antioxidants and consistent sun protection. The Luminous Pearl Extreme is particularly suitable for mature skin, as it also protects the skin against environmental stress. You will find more care for mature skin in our collections face cream for mature skin and anti-aging cream.

Your routine against dark spots

• OPEN: cleanse your skin thoroughly but gently.
• TREAT: apply a dark spot serum such as the Skin Lightening Serum for maximum concentration of actives.
• CLOSE: finish with the Luminous Pearl Extreme or the Whitening Cream morning and evening.
• During the day: SPF 50 is essential. Apply the High Protection Cream SPF 50 or another product from our face sunscreen collection as the last step.
