Cream to fade freckles?

I don't do products for that.. but here's a couple methods.

Use an egg white mask every night for three weeks, then every other night as needed because it removes blackheads, redspots and everything else too. It's like a mini toner.

Use lemon juice. If you mix this with witchhazel it makes a really awesome toner and just apply

before bed.

Any toner will lighten your 'blemishes' if it works.

I have freckles and I haven't used these because of this affect, but it does it anyway.

Hydroquinone is the gold standard to fade sun spots. You can find 2% in over the counter products (i.e. Ambi, Nadinola, Alpha Hydrox) or 4% in prescription creams. Other ingredients that have lightening abilites (that don´t seem to live up to hydroquinone though) include Vitamin C, kojic acid, licorice I believe and I´m sure many more. Some people use lemon juice, but I don´t know if it may make your skin more sensitive to the sun or not.

But I´d go with 2% hydroquinone and a sunscreen with sufficient UVA-protection. But any lightening agent will need a couple of weeks to work, so don´t expect fast results.

hi there! i've been using Metaderm for the freckles on my face. they're lighter now than before. the cream doesn't have hydroquinone so it's not really harmful to the skin.

shiseido's got a serum that targets pigmentation, i haven't tried it but I heard review from others, works for some... dont' for others. though my friend is using it...she told me after going thru the whole bottle her sunspots were gone!
