The appearance of age spots¹ can be annoying.

H-Age Spot Formula is a homeopathic solution that promises to ‘Diminish & Fade the Appearance of Age Spots and Dark Spots Naturally*.’

We studied their claims, website and reviews to determine if their promise was accurate.

Keep reading to see what we found out.

Amoils H-Age Spot Formula is an all-natural, topical oil created that combines a homeopathic formulation with essential oils known to be very effective skin lighteners.

The combination works together to even the skin tone and diminish age spots in a matter of weeks.

It is manufactured by a company called Healing Natural Oils, located in San Diego, CA.

The main active ingredient in H-Age Spot Formula is Thuja occidentalis 12C.

Thuja Occidentalis 12C

Thuja occidentalis² is also known as eastern arborvitae or northern white cedar, is a coniferous evergreen tree belonging to the cypress family.

Oil is derived from the leaves and used as medicine.

While Thuja has multiple uses, there is very little mention of its use as a skin lightener.

The official Healing Natural Oils website simply states that the use of Thuja is indicated for the removal of brown spots in the Homeopathic Materia Medica.

These Materia Medica are encyclopedia-like texts which list homeopathic ingredients, what they should be used to treat and how they should be prepared.

The 12C after the name indicates that the Thuja extract was diluted with water in a ratio of 1 drop of Thuja to 100 drops of water.

One drop of that solution was then taken and again diluted in 100 drops of water.

The 12 means the dilution process was repeated 12 times.

Other ingredients in the formula include:

Corylus Avellana Nut Oil

Also known as hazel nut oil³.

It is loaded with vitamin E.

Vitamin E has been shown to help hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production by melanocytes and tyrosinase.

Citrus Limonum Peel

Lemon peel⁴ is loaded with an array of vitamins and minerals.

It has powerful skin lightening properties.

The active ingredient is limonene which both lightens skin and exfoliates.

Daucus Carota Seed Oil

Also known as Wild Carrot⁵. It is one of the most effective skin lightening oils.

Loaded with beta carotene which inhibits tyrosinase production.

Lavandula Officinalis Flower Bud

Lavender oil⁶ is anti-inflammatory and when used on a regular basis, can improve hyperpigmentation.

Rosa Mosqueto Seed

Rose Mosqueto oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids needed to produce the prostaglandins necessary for cell regeneration.

Sesamum Indicum Seed oil

Sesame oil⁷ provides many skin-healing benefits. It is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and skin-regenerating.

Powerful ingredients contained in the essential oils are absorbed deep into the layers of the skin where they inhibit the production of tyrosinase, promote more rapid cell regeneration and act as exfoliants.

The formula should be applied topically to the affected areas 2 to 3 times a day.

The product formulation is all-natural, safe and gentle on the skin.

The company essentially claims there are no side effects.

However, while unlikely, some of the individual ingredients have been known to have negative side effects.

Thuja is generally considered very safe, however, too much may cause some people to experience queasiness, vomiting, painful diarrhea, or asthma.

Hazelnut oil is generally safe but may cause issues in people with nut allergies.

Lemon peel is one of the most effective skin lighteners, however, it tends to make the skin photosensitive. It should not be applied when going out into the sun.

It is advisable to apply it only at night and to wear sunscreen consistently when using or hyperpigmentation may worsen.

Some people may be allergic to sesame seeds and application of the oil may lead to anaphylaxis.

Other than allergies, this ingredient is quite safe to apply topically.

It is possible that those with sensitive skin may experience irritation and redness due to any of these ingredients.

The product warns that it is not suitable for those who are pregnant or nursing.

Healing Naturals Oils is a company that uses homeopathy to create natural formulas that address multiple health issues.

The company maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

There is some controversy over the effectiveness of homeopathy in general.

The explanation for how the process works is not compatible with current scientific knowledge.

However, even without scientific evidence to back up their claims, homeopathy has a long tradition of anecdotal effectiveness and has existed for hundreds of years.

The Healing Natural Oils company offers multiple products that are well-reviewed and appear to be effective.

There are several reviews for this product.

Of 20 reviews on Amazon, 60% are 4 and above giving it a 2.8 rating overall.

Here are some samples that may be helpful.

Some customers were very satisfied:

SWilliamson writes:

I received the smaller bottle. I have malasma and have tried everything and was very pleased to see the spots starting to decrease in darkness within a couple of weeks.

This does sting just a little when applied but it doesn’t last long and it lets me know that it is actually doing something. I can;t wait to see what it does in a couple of months.

It is all essential oils which I love and is all natural. I like the smell and the consistency. Would certainly recommend to anyone searching for natural ways to rid yourself of age spots without chemicals. I was provided this product at a discount for my honest review.

Barbara L. Clouse writes:

As usual I would have liked it more if the results were instant. I knew they wouldn’t be but, I still wanted them to be. Regardless, the oils work.

I’ve been using the oils twice daily almost religiously for several weeks now.

The spots aren’t gone yet but, they are significantly lighter in color and fading. I would definitely recommend this this product in lieu of a chemical-based option. It works! …probably just as quickly, and with no side adverse effects.

A few customers saw no results.

Tara Hummel writes:

Did not reduce the darkness of age spots one bit. Used faithfully for weeks. I’m sending it back.

Amazon customer writes:

I am using this product twice daily for the past few weeks and have not seen any changes. I don’t think I’d recommend this product.

The H-Age Spot Formula by Healing Natural Oils is an excellent formulation.

Not only is it all natural, safe and gentle, it contains several of the very best essential oils for skin lightening.

Although the active ingredient is Thuja occidentalis, which has been shown to have many benefits for both skincare and other health issues, there is no strong evidence that it is effective as a skin lightener specifically.

On the other hand, the effectiveness of Thuja may not influence the effectiveness of the product since the remaining ingredients used in the formula are well known and researched potent skin lighteners.

This formulation is a good option for anyone wishing to avoid the harmful effects and harshness of hydroquinone.

Or, anyone desiring all natural ingredients that work quickly.

This may not be a good option for anyone allergic to sesame seeds or nuts as these ingredients may lead to anaphylaxis.

It may also not work for anyone with a lifestyle requiring frequent and extended sun exposure as some of the ingredients increase the skin’s photosensitivity.
