How do you remove freckles on an asian skin?
Unlike light skinned people who have ready answers to remove freckles, I am asian. Most asians do not have freckles. If some do, it is not prominent since the dark spots don't seem too dark as most would simply blend in their brown skin.
Many of the women in my family have it. I happened to be the 'lucky one' whose face is now almost covered with it. No they're not birth marks–they weren't there when I was younger. You could clearly see the small spots. But now, they have multiplied on both sides of my face. So from afar, it will look like I have big dark marks on my cheeks.
I am still 28. I am assuming that this will get even worse as I only had light spots when I was 18.
I really need them removed. Please don't tell me they're cute coz they're not.
So how do you remove freckles on my type of skin? I have heard of glutathione. Any more suggestions?

Use a home peeling kit to remove the superficial dermis and reveal the new, whiter, even toned, smoother skin underneath. A chemical peel will effectively remove your freckles.
There is a wide range of safe and effective peels to choose from: AHA/glycolic, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. These are also available in cream and lotion preparations if your skin is sensitive. It is not for daily use but can be applied as often as every other day depending on the concentration.
