1. Got Freckles?
As you may know, freckles are nothing more than spots on your skin where melanin (skin pigmentation) has gone pigment-happy. They are common in children and usually fade as one grows into adulthood. Usually.
2. How to Get Rid of Freckles
While many people find freckles cute or attractive, some of us just want them gone.
While there are several available ‘invasive’ methods, I would urge you to see your doctor rather than reading an arbitrary web site. Among the more popular medical options are laser freckle removal and the cryogenic freezing of freckles. Over-the-counter bleaching creams are also available.
Freckle Removal & Minimization Tips
- Stay out of the sun whenever possible and wear sunscreen when you do go outside. Your freckles will tan just like the rest of you, causing them to become more obvious.
- Apply lemon juice directly to your face twice a day and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. You can also apply it at night before retiring and wash it off in the morning after rising. This will also increase your sensitivity to sunlight so wear sunscreen when you go out.
- Rinse your face with sour milk.
- Apply sour cream over your entire face, let it sit for 15 minutes and then wipe it off with a towel or tissue, but don’t rinse.
- Use a cosmetic cover-up.

Freckle Removal Cream Recipes:
Use the following home remedies by mixing them with yogurt, your favorite cream, or by applying directly to the skin. Most of these concoctions will make you more sensitive to sunlight, so be sure and use sunscreen when you go outside.
- Lemon juice
- Parsley juice
- Onion juice (Or crushed onions) - not a very pleasant solution…
- Cucumber juice (you can also crush a cucumber into paste and use the resulting material)
- Fenugreek oil (Dilute in cream or yogurt)
- A mixture of 2 oz. Lemon juice, 2 oz. rum, 1 tsp. glycerin, and 4 tbsp. buttermilk - let the mixture set on your face for 30 minutes and wash, no more than twice a day.
- A mixture of 1 tbsp. yogurt and a dribble of honey. Apply this directly to your freckles and it let set for 30 minutes before washing.

i am not alergic to it btw.
i have a massive thick line of freckles going across the centre of my face they really get on my nerves and make me look really ugly lol

Seriously, just because you have freckles doesnt
mean you arent flawless. Thats an insult to everyone
out there who has freckles and loves them.
Just because you have freckles doesnt mean guys
will think youre ugly, Ive had them my entire life,
and since high school, Ive yet to not have a boyfriend
or guys saying that Im beautiful, and how different I would
look without them.
You just need to toughen up and grow some confidence in
yourself. I dont even notice mine anymore, until someone
points them out, which no one ever does. Ive even asked
all of my friends, and they even say they dont even notice
them when looking at me, and trust me, my face is covered.
They are apart of you whether you like it or not, so my
advice is to learn to love them.
Hey you guys! I went on this site a long time ago to see if I could find any home remedies worht trying. I found out that lemon juice does work a little bit. It made my freckles less noticeable. But if you really want them to fade dramatically, Meladerm is the way to go. I’m telling you, I’m not kidding. I wouldn’t lie about it. I was in the same boat as all of you and I hated them just as much. I ordered some fo the Meladerm Pigment Reducing complex and it worked miracles! It’s a little pricey($50), but worth it. I also ordered the face toner as well, which I believe contains Kojic Acid, which is an awesome bleaching agent. So both together have made great improvements. My acne is also completely gone. I highly recommend this. I applied twice everyday for about a month, and BAM! They are really invisible.
Hope this helps
Peace!
I’m 13 years old, and i hate my freckles.
When i was little they were adorable, but now i have them all over my arms, legs, you name it.
My friends think it’s funny when they try to count them, but it’s not.
It’s embarrassing and frankly, all guys care about are looks at my age so the freckles don’t help me here.
I think i’m pretty underneath my mess of freckles, but i’ll never know because all of these “home mad remedies SUCK and DO NOT WORK.”
(lemons work a little)
The yogurt and honey thing is a total lie. It just makes your face sticky and the rum one i can’t do because where the heck am i supposed to get rum?!!?!?!?
NONE of my friends have freckles and yet i do.
PLEASE HELP!
ANYONE AOUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. I’m 16, female. I really don’t mind my freckles. It dosen’t effect my life and my boyfriend likes them. My only thing is that they style that I like dosen’t work with freckles. That’s the only reason I want them gone. Then angain I don’t because they make me who I am.

Hi im 12 and i have tons of freckles! If you wear a lot of sunscreen it really helps! Im wearin bluberry yogurt and honey on my face right now and it feels like its working. This site rocks!!!!
i dont have as many freckles, but theres this one annoying one on my body that never fades! its been there for about 3-4 years!
i will try the lemon juice remedy, but its so hard getting rid of freckles. i used to just squeeze them, itd make a scab, then itd be gone. but to my surprise, the freckle popped up again in the SAME EXACT PLACE.
i know their annoying, but sometimes its apart of your personality. if you relly hate them i suggest the christian dior method my friend tried it and for her freckles allll around her face it worked well.
Just stay out of the sun… my freckles multiply as soon as the sun is out, even if i have sun cream on andn it seems to stop me from tanning. they’re a real pain in the back side but what can i do!
when u say it only took 4 times do u meen u put it on 4 times or it took 4 days using it twice a day
I absolutly hate my freckes! They’re a pain in the butt. I try covering them like, every day, but I can’t like swim or do anything “water-like.” I am sooooo tired of my freckles, and I’m positive I’m not alone one this!
& I’ve read that lemon juice works the best (plus, it’s like almost free) so I’ll try that!
-Thanks!!!!!!

i’ve only used the lemon technique 4 times and its worked! squeeze one lemon into a cup, dip a towel in lemon and apply it to your face, its a bit stingy but its okay, then i added a face cream over it and it works so well!!

Hi!I’m 29 I have freckles on my face,when I got pragnent freckles started grow on my face.I don’t know why!but I tried used cream but not works.I just red and knok many people take about Lemon juice.I’m gonna try it.
Hey guys,
Does any body know more about this “fade out”? I believe it may be worth checking out
After doing some research, I have found that lemon juice can be very effective, HOWEVER, it is only effective on a very small percentage of people.
I find that the best solution is to simply apply sun screen. If you are in the sun on a regular basis,then you may notice straight away that your freckles begin to fade and not to mention the fact that we should care for our skin and should be doing this any way lol
cheers
