So I have a couple sunspots. They are near my hairline, like in the "corners" of my forehead and then I have one that is kind of the bottom, outer edge of my left eye.
Despite wearing sunscreen daily I feel they've become more noticeable as of late. So, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what to use on them? I'm pretty fair and have decently sensitive skin and have no idea where to start or what I should be using on them. TIA!

R and F Reverse treatment. It's a cream for the spots, made with hydroquinone. It eliminated a dime sized spot at the lower corner of my eye in 4 months.

Three best options, IME: 1) IPL (laser treatment) would be fastest and most effective. You can usual find a Groupon to get an IPL facial for $50. 2) Chemical peel. Look for a peel that combines AHA and BHA acids. These run about $150 in my area. 3) Spot treat nightly with glycolic acid or another AHA (popular ones being from The Ordinary, Paula's Choice, or Cosrx).

I get them burned off with lasers. Lasers are fast and a good option for me. I get treatments every couple years and it takes a few minutes. Prescription fade creams don't work for me. They're a hassle, work very slowly, and are only marginally effective if when I am able to use them diligently (mostly I'm not). It's enough of an inconvenience remembering to apply sunblock, let alone fade cream. Sunblock, however, really helps, otherwise the spots will come back in the exact same place. I notice that many people get them on the sides of their faces, near their ears, just like me.
