i have a bit of a problem. I use Cetaphil spf 15 face lotion every single day. since 2 years ago. but recently I realized I have been getting age spots...I really don't know what to do and I'm 20 and all my dermatologist wants me to do is get me to get expensive surgery.

@LUVYRSKIN Get them wearing sun screen ASAP and have it be a daily routine. I use a suncreen in place of or mixed into my daily body lotion and it helps a lot (I'm extremely pale and burn easily, even indoors.)

I've heard some nasty things about hydroquinone being toxic. If it is, is it enough so that regular use of a product containing it could have health detriments?

I wish my mum had knowledge about this, she had no idea. I never used protection only cheap and tacky moisturisers. But I use them now but I stil have loads of age spots and am thinking about chemical peel now. Its not only to do with the sun, its also the type of skin and the hormones, diet etc.
