Freckles are the brown spots that appear around your body, including face, hands, shoulders, and legs. You can see freckles clearly after 30 years old, especially women before and after giving birth.

When your skin produces too much melanin, it will form freckles, dark spots and brown spots on your skin^[1].

Depending on the body of each person, the freckle level is different. If you don’t know how to eliminate freckles fast, this problem has a negative impact on women’s beauty and confidence as well.
