I was out in the sun all last summer and I wore sunscreen usually but I still ended up with these freckles from the sun.How can I lighten them?

IPL, we can use the laser to literally zap the freckle away, microdermabraison is amazing for fading out scarring and blemishes, or you could look into a fading cream.

I work for a plastic surgeon and our nurse says a product with high vitamin C content helps to reverse damage from the sun! Try searching for Redermic C by La Roche Posay that's what we sell at our office.

Totally agree with Heather and Brittany. Right now is the time to treat them since their not too old. They will fade in a shorter time.

There are plenty of dark spot treatments for sun spots but I agree with heather on the vitamin c serum.

I was thinking about a light glycolic peel but it sounds kind of scary.

If you have sensitive skin it may be too much for you - but I use a Mario badescu glycolic acid foaming cleanser about once a week to exfoliate and I find it's good for that as an AHA exfoliant.

If you don't normally have freckles they'll go away on their own. but I think they're actually pretty! I get freckles only in the summer when I tan a lot and I like them.

Hyperpigmentation may he treated with a combination on treatments (there are several) any consistant home care. Start by finding an experienced aesthetician with good references, that uses medical grade products... not cosmeseutical... that a made up term to sell over priced product. Medical grade products are made under strict regulations and have higher levels of actives, no filler... they are less likely to cause irritation. Itscwhere youll get result.

I use a combination of glycolic,aha and of course vitamin c serum to fade mine. If you can afford medical grade products as suggested by a few of the beauties above then its great but none of the items I used at the beginning were med based. Took me about 3 to 6 months to see major results but prevention is best route to go long term so arent trying to spend a ton of money trying to get rid of them. Relying on a stablized form of vitamin c/antioxidant serum to be applied every morning followed by a moisturizing spf. You really have to be careful using medical grade skincare and be under watch by an experienced aesthetician or dermo because that stuff is no joke. I would start with something that you can easily find at Sephora or ULTA and use the med grade as last resort.
