Hi to everyone!

I am 40 years old. I have a sensitive face skin. I haven't problem with my skin except brown spots 2 cm below eyes (both) and right above eyebrow. The skin is thin and a little dry there. I intend to use only Phyto+ and Dayly Sun Defence SPF 20. Is it enough? Can I use it in summer?

Thanks.

I would also recommend using an eye product. Try Dermalogica's Total Eye Care (this has an SPF 15), or Peter Thomas Roth's AHA/Kojic Acid Under Eye Brightener.

Hi Ya'll, am new to the Forum. I know this is about products, but I just wanted to let you know that I recently had 1 in a series of 4-5 treatments of photorejuvenation. I had my first one last Friday. This is for brown spots, broken capillaries, fine lines, etc. It is done by a laser which does not damage the top layer of skin at all, but goes beneath the skin's surface to destroy those bad spots, etc. My dermatologist told me that it usually takes 2-3 weeks for results to show, but let me tell you this is great! Just yesterday morning, I had a couple of brown spots on my cheek and I woke up this morning and they are gone! Yes, I mean gone! This is the greatest thing since sliced bread!!

On another note, have you considered trying Renova/Retin-A for your brown spots? They work rather well too. I've used them also.

I also have dark patches just on the sides of my eyes and I've tried a million things for them which have all failed to work.

This photorejuvination sounds very promising. Is one treatment usually enough? Are there any side effects?

Thanks

My doctor told me that it usually takes 4-5 treatments to get rid of everything, (all the brown spots, broken capillaries, fine lines), but I'm not kidding you when I say that a couple of those brown spots are gone! And I know they were there because right after treatment, the doctor tells you that the spots will get darker at first and then disappear (and they did get darker -- that's how I noticed them). I really didn't expect to see a noticeable difference this soon, but I almost screamed out loud this morning. I've never seen anything like it. And to be honest, I really thought I wouldn't see a difference until the 2nd treatment or so. But at $350.00 a pop, I suppose I'd better see a change, huh? I also had it done for fine lines on my forehead, which I also can tell a difference. If you have any other Q's, just let me know.

I forgot to tell you - there are NO side effects to this either. My face wasn't even red after the treatment (that's why I was skeptical of this in the first place).

Thanks for your update. I've just done some research on the web and it looks pretty impressive I'd love to try it.

However the way they do it looks scary! Surprised
