I'm 43 and have a few small brown spots on my jaw line and one on my cheek. I can't afford to have a chemical peel- what is the best cosmetic product to fade these spots? I would like to improve the look of my skin in the next 7 months.

I like using glycolic acid products to fade the brown spots. Be sure to wear your sunscreen everyday.

Any product with hydroquinone in it will usually work to fade brown
spots. The problem with this solution is that it is not permanent. A
chemical peel will not help and we would suggest saving your money for a
treatment or two with q-switched lasers. They will remove the spots
permanently.

You can use a strong hydroquinone with other bleaching agents such as
Kojic acid and vitamin C. This is only available by prescription. HQ
2% is available over the counter but will not make any meaningful
difference.
