I have freckles under my eyes, I used AHA lightening gel & sun screen, it was effective but after I stopped using it, they came back again. Are there more effective, safer and durable products?

Because medical products failed, you can resort to removal by laser or surgery.

Freckles are known to recur after sun exposure. So far there is no definitive treatment. Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen every 2 hours when exposed. At end of summer you can re-use the lightening gel to make them whiter. Lasers can make them fade faster however they will keep on recurring so we just do lasers for those who can afford it financially or before an occasion when you want a fast response.
