LED, microcurrent, radiofrequency and massage: what at-home skin devices can realistically do for crepey skin.

What causes dark spots, the ingredients with the best evidence, how long fading takes, and why sunscreen comes first.
Skin changes with age in ways that are easy to notice: it becomes thinner and less firm, fine lines appear, dark circles under the eyes look deeper and uneven skin tone or dark spots become more common, mostly because of years of sun exposure. Our beauty and skin guides explain why these changes happen and which approaches actually make a visible difference.
We start with the habits dermatologists agree on: daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, gentle cleansing, moisturizing, not smoking and getting enough sleep. From there, we cover the ingredients with the strongest evidence for the look of dark spots and fine lines, such as vitamin C, niacinamide, azelaic acid and retinoids, and how to use them without irritating your skin. Our guide to fading dark spots is a good place to begin.
We also review at-home beauty devices and targeted products. MyoGlow is a handheld device that combines red LED light, gentle warmth and sonic vibration with a peptide serum, designed to improve the look of firmness. Dr. Melasmin is a calcium-based stick for the under-eye area, with collagen, glutathione and adenosine, made to improve the look of dark circles and fine lines. Our at-home skin tightening guide compares devices and what to realistically expect.
Every review summarizes the information published by the manufacturer and the seller, with prices, subscriptions and guarantees dated. Results vary from person to person and take consistent use. If you have a skin condition, a changing mole or any spot that bleeds or grows, see a dermatologist.
