Some are looking to reduce the appearance of sun damage and diminish or eliminate signs of spots and discoloration. While there is an abundance of over-the-counter (OTC) remedies accessible for repairing sun damage and addressing prevalent skin issues such as acne, these products often fall short of meeting the specific skin care needs of patients.
