I'm always worried about freckles and blemishes every time I look in the mirror. Is there a way to get rid of them?

I used to love just taking a leisurely stroll in the warm sunlight. But then, at some point, every time I looked in the mirror, dark spots started to stand out, especially around my cheekbones and eyes. At first, I thought it was just because I was tired from a bad night's sleep the night before, but they didn't go away as time passed. In fact, they seem to become more pronounced the more sunlight I expose my face to, which is really frustrating. So, these days, I'm lying in bed before bed, diligently searching for ways to get rid of them on my phone. I try to cover them up with makeup, but applying a thick layer of concealer quickly makes my skin look cakey and heavy, so I desperately need a fundamental solution. Before, my skin looked clear and transparent even with a light layer of sunscreen, but now I'm starting to feel a strong need for a more systematic approach. Some friends say home care alone has its limits, while others say consistent application of high-dose vitamin products can help. I'm not sure which information to trust. Among the many ways to get rid of freckles I've researched, I've found that regular use of natural face masks or generous application of serums packed with specific functional ingredients morning and night are effective. I'm curious to know if anyone has actually found these methods effective. I've seriously considered going to a dermatologist for laser treatment, but the time and expense of regular visits are a bit burdensome, and I'm worried about side effects, so I haven't had the courage to do it. So, for now, I'm trying to gradually change my daily routine, starting with things I can implement myself. I'm definitely trying to drink more water and get enough sleep, but it's still difficult to see any noticeable changes in my existing freckles. Do you have any unique and effective freckle-fighting methods, or products or lifestyle habits that you've tried and found really helpful? It would be incredibly helpful if you could share your experiences, even the smallest ones, in the comments. I'm really curious to know how you all maintain flawless, clear skin.
