What is the best product to fade these brown spots?

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.

Age spots are brownish blemishes that develop on the surface of the skin as a result of sun exposure. The best process of reducing brown spots is really dependent on the individual. What works for one person may not work for another. Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant which helps with the reversal of sun spots. When used properly, Vitamin C acts as a barrier to the skin and a environmental shield. A great product to try is: The VitaLift-C HA Serum by Nelly DeVuyst, it is specifically formulated to reduce the appearance of brown spots, dull complexion and visible signs of aging (wrinkles, fine lines, etc.). Made with biphased liposomes of glow-boosting and radiance-enhancing ingredients such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, this serum is ideal for people wanting a revitalized and even-toned skin. Perfect to incorporate in an anti-aging skin care regimen.

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.

I’m very fair skin, blue eyes, but I’m debating if it is actually rosacea that I’m suffering from or just a natural rosy Irish complexion. I’m so confused and don’t want to be wasting more money on rosacea products that won’t even be effective for myself because the statistics say sufferers are usually 35-40 when they do develop the condition but I’m only 16. I just want to get to the root of this very frustrating problem.
