I went to my Dermatologist and they gave me Aclaro, it is pricey. However, it worked for me. It is prescription, however it lasts a long time.

S.H. answers from Dallas on August 18, 2008
I am so happy to know that someone else has this problem besides me! Unfortunately, I cannot get rid of them either. I hope you get some good suggestions. I have tried the expensive creams to no avail! I was wondering if I may have to have a chemical peel or something. Thanks for asking this question :)

I use a line called Murad (Dr. Murad), environmental shield. You can purchase at Ulta or at the salon inside Lifetime fitness (you don't have to be a member to go to salon). The line has worked very well for me. My spots were caused by my 2nd pregnancy and after using the murad line for 4wks my discoloration was gone. My esthetician is the one who referred me to this line. You can check out the website just google Dr. Murad.
Good luck.

I had a couple of issues with the spots and I still do IF I do not use my sunscreen daily. As for circles, per my Dr., there is NO creme out there that will make dark circles go away.
I saw Dr. Allen Menter at Baylor donwtown (he is the best). I used some creme he gave me along with my regular skin care routine of Clinique. Clinique also has a product called turnaround that helps fade the spots. I use the Repairwear series along with Clinique sunscreen and full product line. I Love it. I've used CLinique since I was about 12. I am almost 47, YIKES, and I easily pass for early 30's.
Be careful with peels and microdermabrasion.....I did a couple of peels and ended up looking worse.
Good luck!

Check with your local Mary Kay lady. My sister sells it (in Las Vegas) and she says there is something that is supposed to remove them.
Hope it helps.

I have them, too. My mom had one big one on her cheek for years, & she had tried every cream out there. Nothing worked. So she had her plastic surgeon do laser therapy (don't know specific name) on it, & it disappeared. She wished she had done it years ago.
G.S. answers from Dallas on August 18, 2008
My daughter is almost 4 and I have not been able to get rid of the two spots on my face. The creams my dermatologist gave me have not even worked. They have faded a little, but not very much.
I think I'm going to try microdermabrasion and if that doesn't work my dermatologist said he can use a laser.
Sorry I don't have better news. Good luck!
