Lemon. It "brightens" and feels refreshing. You can add a few drops of the juice to water in a spray bottle and mist it on your face.

Or, just get a new concealer that "brighens". I like Benefit Erase Paste $26

I have heard, too, that lemon juice works.  However, I got a prescription from my primary care physician for Retin-A, and it is fading a spot.  I filled the prescription with generic Retinoil,, and it cost me $83.00 at Walgreens.

I also use Benefit Erase Paste.  Apply with a small makeup brush and blend the edges and go easy on the Erase Paste blending of the dark spot.

Also, I just bought Royal Jelly cream, and that is supposed to work, too.  Buy it from the Vermont Country Store - www.vermontcountrystore.com or call them at 1-802-776-5700 Mon-Fri, 7 am to 12 am, Sat-Sun8am - 10 pm EST.

Be sure to ask for their catalogue.  It's check full of goodies that haven't around since the 60's.- like Evening in Paris Perfume, my mother's favorite from way back when.

Good luck

I dont know of anything 'natural', but when I worked at a cosmetics counter, Clinique was the counter across from me and I cant tell you how many people bought their Dark Spot Remover.  People swore by it, and I saw very happy customers come back all the time.  Maybe worth a try?

I haven't tried anything DIY for this issue either, but I have been using the Kiehl's photo corrector line (spot deminishing) and I definitely see results on some of my darker sun-kissed areas. Check out my review of the line here. 

Lemon juice, mixed with water and in a spray bottle.  Put it in the refrigerator so you'll also get a cooling spray on your face.  For direct contact  on a brown spot, just keep putting lemon juice on a cotton ball and put on on the spot(s).

Thanks for the tips, friends!  I'll definitely try the lemon idea and if that doesn't work to my liking, maybe I'll try out the Clinique option.  Thanks again!

You're welcome:)
