Step 1

Apply a vitamin C serum or lotion that contains at least 10-percent vitamin C as part of the composition. Otherwise, you might not see results. Apply as directed on the label, usually once or twice a day. Avoid products with no amount indicated on the label, as these are likely to be too weak to improve the age spots.

Step 2

Wait for the lotion or serum to dry, and then apply sunscreen if you’re going outside. The combination of vitamin C and sunscreen will provide better protection against the damaging effects of the sun.

Step 3

Dab lemon juice, which is rich in vitamin C, directly on the spot, using a cotton ball. Wait for 15 minutes before rinsing off with cold water. Repeat twice a day until the spots lighten up.

Step 4

Take up to 500 mg of vitamin C daily. Because vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, it will help improve the health of your skin and keep it looking young and supple.
