Hiya!
Just been reading the reviews of the A'kin Rose Hip Oil with Vitamin C (yay paragraphs!) and a few of you ladies mentioned struggling with sunspots.
Sunspots are caused by excess melanin produced in your skin so a melanin inhibiting ingredient such as alpha arbutin, AHA's such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, BHA's such as salicyclic acid, licorice root extract or hydroquinone (which I've heard some comments about this not really being a good option) and then of course you have your Vitamin C gold standard L-ascorbic acid (which is a lot stronger than the one used in the A'kin Rose Hip Oil).
Once you have sunspots, they never really go away and if you are caught out in the sun, they will darken again. You can definitely get lighteners for them to make them less obvious though.

L-Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbic Acid are indeed the same according to Paula Begoun's Ingredient Dictionary so rest assured you're in good hands there. Do be careful though because this ingredient is unstable and can oxidise quickly but you'll know it's oxidised as it will turn a coppery orange colour. Don't use it anymore if it does this.
If you have the Drunk Elephant Vitamin C serum I believe that this is a stable formula and the reason it is an orange colour is due to the pumpkin used in it.
Let me know how you get on with the Alpha Arbutin Tannygirl. I also have this product and have been using it rather infrequently on sunspots on my neck. It's not perfect but it seems to be diminishing them a little.
