Almonds and almond oil are full of vitamin E. When applied topically, vitamin E lightens scars and stretch marks. Age spots will disappear when using vitamin E topically. However, when taken internally vitamin E can help prevent the formation of these marks in the first place.
(Note: if you take vitamin E and are having surgery anytime soon, you will want to ask you doctor about the correct to take. Taking extra vitamin E will make people bleed more, so you should probably stop taking supplements for now)
