I\flaybe somebody told you they were “liver spots' But they’re most likely age spots. Do you have to put up with age spots? Ttie answer is no. You can fade age spots with Esoterica Medicated Cream.

If you use Esoterica daily as directed, you should see a clearer, more youthful-looking skin tone in six weeks.
