I am a caucasian in nature and have a little bit of freckles in my face. I want to get rid of the somehow and I really envy my brother because he have a fair skin. I used so many products by now and good to say the most effective soap I used is the DOVE beauty care. It has moisturizing extract leaving your skin with soft complexion and whitier fair tone.

Hello! I also have freckles on my face, mostly on the nose area. It's 'in-born', runs in the blood. I don't know why I have them coz I'm a Filipino and I'm not sure if we have Caucasian blood but perhaps my previous generations have. Anyways...I think that if it's in-born then there really isn't much that we can do about it. Except maybe to prevent further spread. Don't get exposed to the sun too much and always use sunscreen if you do so that you won't get sunspots and you won't intensify your freckles. You may also use whitening soaps such as papaya or milk enriched ones but if you ask me, I've tried all of those but to no success. I've also tried using lemon + rice vinegar as my toner because I've read that they're natural whitening agents but I haven't really seen the effect of it on my freckles. Maybe because I've stopped using it coz I became too lazy to prepare and sometimes don't even have the time to apply toner on my face Anyway, I've long given up on my freckles. I do get annoyed of it sometimes but I still like it. Even other people like it and would say that it makes me look cuter. Hehehe! Sometimes our 'imperfections' can be our asset.

don't you think you're good just the way you are? God must gave you the best body, balanced size and perfect tone. you look so cool in your profile picture so you don't need any cosmetics to make you cooler. I just can't imagine, how it could be if you have fair skin but only your face but not all for the surface of your body? I think it would be bothering to see..LOL..just be blessed on whatever you ahve today..

Thanks for the thought by the way. You are right. God gave us are unique features and natural beauty. We have to accept and deal with it.

What's wrong with freckles? I think they're gorgeous! My mother, who was darker than I, had then liberally sprinkled all over her nose and cheekbones. I'm beginning to see more and more myself, but it works. Any skin lightening or bleaching cream is going to have some potential risks - why chemically alter yourself when you're already as you were intended?

I'm not a skin expert I maybe wrong but I guess you need papaya soap. I should have suggested for you to use whitening cream but it seems that you're a boy. If you use papaya soap or whatever whitening soap be sure to use it all over your body so that you can have even skin. It's not good to look at a person with whiter skin on the face than on his body. I have been using papaya soap for over 5 years already and I have an unblemished skin.

I would suggest you try rubbing a lemon on your face. I've tried it on various spots and it takes a while, but it does lighten my skin a bit. Don't do it too often though because it might burn. Also, the lemon juice will make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so don't do this before you go outside.

maybe you don't scrub your skin, because the dirt in your skin if it doesn't being remove it became the layer of your skin. :D
