The freckles on my cheekbones are getting darker. Is there a sure way to get rid of them?

Now that I'm in my mid-30s, I can really feel my skin changing every day. Even though I've been diligently applying sunscreen, I've recently looked in the mirror and noticed a lot of dark spots under my eyes and around my cheekbones. ㅠㅠ

At first, they were mild and could be covered with concealer, but now they're difficult to hide with makeup, so I'm seriously looking into ways to get rid of them. I saw on YouTube that vitamin ampoules and whitening creams can help. Has anyone seen any success with cosmetics alone?

Honestly, I'm thinking about going to a dermatologist and getting something like laser toning. Even if it's a bit expensive, would getting a procedure be the fastest and most effective way to get rid of freckles? If anyone, like me, has struggled with blemishes and has found a treatment or home care method that has been very effective, please share it with us.

I've been searching all day for ways to get rid of dark spots, wanting to get my skin back to its clear, clear state. Looking forward to your advice!
