Greetings Annabel. I too have a lot of age spots on the backs of my hands...I am 60. I have been told that I too look young for my age. My dermatologist has prescribed Tri-Luma@ Cream which takes about 8 wks. to lighten age spots. The cream is $$$ and doesn't work for everyone. Another option is OTC Black Opal advanced dual phase fade creme with sunscreen used 2x daily applied to dark areas only. Good luck.

Hi annabel,

I use Results by Joan Rivers bought off of QVC. It contains hydroquinine, and it really works. You just put it on you hands a couple of times a day, especially when going to bed, so you don't wash it off. It's a hand cream. She also has one very similar product called Results, but its for the face. She has a whole line of products on QVC.
