I'm 66 years old and had very dark age spots covering both cheeks from my eyes downward to my chin. I also had smaller spots on my nose and forehead. The spots were so bad that I was considering acid peels from a dermatologist, even though I am not in favor of them.
One month ago, I decided to try unfiltered, unpasteurized ACV with the mother to help with my mild Roseacia. I only have small capillaries around my nose and on my chin. However, I felt like I should apply the vinegar to my whole face but didn't know why.
I was very surprised to discover that I love the smell and the feeling of the apple cider vinegar on my face. I have been applying it morning and evening for 30 days. I do not rinse my face afterward. And I don't apply moisturizer after the vinegar.
My face looks noticeably clearer, brighter, and softer! The age spots are definitely fading all over my face. My husband and others close to me have seen the difference in my skin.
I did originally break out on my nose and chin, but those blemishes are gone now. The ACV did not make my skin feel dry or cause it to peel, either.
I am going to continue to apply ACV to my face and will be starting to apply it to my forearms and hands.
I read somewhere that unpasteurized and unfiltered ACV contains acetic, lactic, and hyaluronic acids. The last two are often found in anti-aging skin products.
I will stop back and give an update sometime in January of 2024.
Selenium for Age Spots
Arn (Kenmore, Wa.) on 02/13/2021
Age spots, liver spots, and moles are usually signs of selenium deficiency. A capsule of selenium, usually 200 mcg, is safe to use daily, with food. The results come pretty quickly. I have seen big hairy moles vanish in a little over a month, dark splotches on the face vanish in days.
BTW, selenium helps prevent skin and breast cancer, and other cancers. And a recent study showed that 250 mcg per liter of blood stops any virus from propagating. Selenium stops covid!

I have found that, rather than drying skin, apple cider vinegar (or indeed any vinegar) has a moisturising and softening effect. There is no need to mix it with oil. I use distilled malt vinegar (white vinegar) as a cheap hand cream. Now, my hands react very badly to soap or any detergent, which both cause awful itching and dryness that keep me awake at night. So I started using the vinegar as a way to re-acidify my skin (natural pH 5.5) after washing in soap (which is alkaline and has a pH or around 8 or higher). Through this practice, I discovered vinegar was more effective than hand cream for moisturising and way better than putting petrochemicals on your skin. But I also noticed that the age spots on my hands were disappearing. After 6 months of using every night and during the day whenever I wash my hands with soap (very frequently these days), I have virtually no visible age spots left - just pale marks. At this rate, within another 6 months they should have gone. This is not from using ACV, simply white vinegar.

I keep a bottle of 3 parts water to 1 part organic ACV for after washing my face I use it as my toner under my moisturizer on my face and neck once it dries there is no smell. I have been doing this for years, I am 55 and have no age spots on my face or neck and minimal wrinkles.
Compound W Will Remove Age Spots
Darlene (Flagstaff, Az) on 03/14/2012
Compound W applied directly to age spot and left on for five days will remove age spots. It burns when it goes on. Then it is a white spot for five days which can be covered with a bandaid or foundation. Then peel off for new pink skin underneath. Protect new skin as if it was a newborn or your age spot will be back. Compound W is a strong acid, try on one or two spots in hidden area first.
Castor Oil for Age Spots: 7 Month Update
Alyson (Plano, Tx) on 04/23/2010
UPDATE: So its been just about 7 months since I last posted about castor oil and wanted to give you an update. My age spots were gone, my worry crease between my eyebrows practically non-existant, and my skin where I had been using the castor oil firmer. I got cocky and stopped using the oil for about two months. I noticed the spots coming back and skin getting an almost rough texture on my cheekbones. I started using the castor oil again and in a week (two applications a day, left on clean skin for 10-15 minutes) and the spots are dramatically improved. Better than any anti-aging or age spot remover Ive found!

I am diabetic and was overweight, blochy red skin, sun spots on my face, neck, chest, arms and legs. I read Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) was good to drink and put on skin. I bought some and began drinking 1 tablespoon three times a day and put it full strength on my body in the shower after bathing when I still had some water on me. I rubbed it all over including my face, neck whole body, arms, legs and feet. After a month I began to notice the sun spots were getting lighter, my skin was getting a more youthful look (I am 55 years old) and I had more energy. When I went to get my A1C checked, it was 5.4! My blood pressure was 113/63! My doctor was estatic and so was I. My skin now is clear and bright. I have LOTS of energy. I'm not tired anymore. All the sun spots are just about gone. My dark elbows and ankles are now a normal color. I am so happy. I have been getting so many compliments on my "glowing" complexion. My facial capillaries have just about disappeared. ACV to me is a miracle in itself.
