Not for my brown age spots on my face. I'm a 48 year old male with a couple of brown spots on my cheek and I've used these faithfully everyday. They're really sticky too so peeling them off is a bit of a pain and the edges of the patches typically curl up so I had to use scissors to trim the ends after I've placed them on my skin. The next day it sort of stings peeling them off. I didn't find these to be helpful at all and if anything my dark spots are more apparent now. I certainly don't recommend these patches.
