Can you recommend some skincare products to help with freckles, which are becoming increasingly noticeable these days?

Last weekend, the weather was so nice that I went to a cafe with a pretty outdoor terrace with a friend for the first time in ages. The sunlight was so beautiful, we took selfies and had a great time. But when I got home and looked at the photos again, I was shocked. I hadn't noticed it under indoor lighting, but under bright natural light, I noticed a lot of dark spots around my cheekbones. I feel so bad that I've been neglecting my skincare routine under the guise of being busy. I want to start using a proper acne treatment product and take care of it consistently, but there are so many options, it's hard to choose. How do you choose acne treatment products? I've heard that you should carefully consider the ingredients, but I'm curious if products with vitamin derivatives or niacinamide are truly effective. Are there any acne treatment products that are gentle on the skin and absorb well? A formula that I can apply every morning and evening without any burden would be ideal. I've considered laser treatment at a dermatologist, but I think it's best to start by changing my daily base. If you've personally used any products that helped brighten your skin tone, could you share them with us? I'm really curious to know what other people are using these days.
