    Default brown spots on face..

    Looking for an inexpensive (preferably) for those damn 'freckles' or sun-damaged skin. Thanks. I've been using samples of Kinerease (sp) serum & moisturizer. I don't think they address this issue. I know they have a newer product out, but it's like $140.00

    the least expensive route will be to get a product with ~2% hydroquinone in it. I believe Avon even makes one. You must use sunscreen with it!

    If you've got more money to burn, I'd recommend a higher strength hydroquinone product (such as obagi) mixed with retin-a. Some other products to look for would contain kojic acid, or licorice extract. There are several more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

    Yeah, well, good luck. I spent most of my childhood trying to erase my freckles but it just wasn't happening. I became a much happier person when I listened to the people who told me they were cute and embraced my spots.

    I don't think there's anything out there that actually erases freckles.

    Hydroquinone is not necessarily safe; it has been banned in Africa, most of Asia, and Europe already. Most people have better results anyway with retin-a(prescrip) or retinoids (OTC=over the counter).

    Please read:

    www.smartskincare.com

    lots of info and a minimal fee for an infopack that tells you how to make your own effective skin creams...I saved major money doing this.

    and do research on makeupalley.com - look up retinoids and vitamin c.

    I LOL'd. The first thing I thought of was playing "freckles' with British soldiers.

    I lighten my skin with Fuller's Earth... and it has lightened up a birthmark I have... it might work on freckles?

    There's a difference between regular freckles and plain old brown marks. I have some on my face (from being at the beach all my life) and I'm getting them lasered off! Two seconds each with a laser and they're gone forever!

    Well, I believe they're spot from the sun, not freckles, athough I guess they could be. I did catch a lot of sun, I wear sunblock now.
    Thanks a lot everybody. I am on MU alley haven't checked it out lately. There's so much skin care out there.
