Is age 32 too early to do a TCA peel?

I would like to do something about my age spots. They are light in color, but they are noticeable without make-up. (I thought they were freckles until my deratologist said I should get a photofacial!) Anyway, I don't know if my skin really needs to be peeled off. I use great products, and my skin isn't terrible, but I would like to do something about my age spots. Maybe Retin A will help? I ordered some today. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi, yes the retin A should help, but there are tons of products out there that can help.
Neo strata, la roche posay both have good dark skin spot removers that work amazingly well!

Just thought I should say that a photofacial does not in volve peeling the skin off. Here is a link to explain what a photofacial is. Photofacial: is it worth it? Before & after photos, results, cost
I had this procedure done and it worked wonders.
Apparently Retin-A, AHA and patience also can work.

Yes you could totally benefit from using TCA. You don't have to do your whole face, you can order the samples and spot treat the areas you need too.

Using both Vit C and RA could also help with lightening. But I had to use TCA on my age spots and as daily maintenence I use Vit C and RA. Just remember using a good SPF is very important!! Afterall that is where the age spots are coming from-
