If you seriously want to get rid of your freckles, find a doctor's office that offers Intense Pulse Light Treatments. Two to four treatments will do wonders to even out your skin and improve your complexion, but you will have to be rigid in applying your sunscreen everyday. Since sun exposure is what caused the freckling in the first place you will have to be very guarded with the sun. Using a prescription strenghth hydroquinone for a few months will give extra mileage in keeping the freckles at bay.

Although lemon juice is mythed to help some, it won't drastically change anything. You'll still have freckles. I don't think there is any way of getting completely rid of them except through surgery. You should stay out of the sun, because sun exposure will cause more freckles to appear.

Freckles are just a part of life. Make sure to stay out of the sun. Freckles will get darker and bigger. Use lots of SPF>. Freckles are just hyper-pigmentation, increase pigment in your skin, which could be caused by the sun or hormones. Try this product called Ambi, It could be found at your local pharmacy's or drug stores. It's about $5.00 or so. Ambi is the name brand, and they have different products to treat your skin. Make sure you get the one with "Hydrquinone" in it. Hydroquinone- is the only FDA-approved skin lightener, it has a bleaching action on excessive, clumped abnormal melanin(dark pigments) in the skin. Ambi has 2% hydroquinone in their product, any more has to be prescribed by a Dr. Just spot treat your freckles and only use at night time, and during the day make sure you put on the SPF, After your freckles lighten up, use Ambi about once a week to maintain. It is very important though during this process to stay clear of the sun, because this area where you want to treat, will be more prone to get darker if you go right back in the sun with out any SPF. So SPF is so important o.k.

Freckles are cute but I've heard lemon juice works.
Stay out of the sun to prevent more!

Sunscreen wil not help. The most you can do is put foundation over your face or go drastic and bleach your skin. I don't recommend the latter.

Stay out of the sun... I believe you cannot remove them unless you bleach your skin like M. Jackson

They might. Freckles are pretty fickle.
