Such home remedies actually serve no purpose in removing or dimnishing them. Infact some home remedies may do more harm than good in such cases.Freckles are also called as EPHELIDES, and actually these dark pigmented spots are not due to the increase in the number of melanocytes which are colour giving cells or melanin forming cells, but are due to melanocytes which have the tendency to form melanosomes ie melanin granules. Freckles should be differentiated from lentigines and moles.

Cauterisation, fractional lasers, some detanning creams and chemical peeling may help many in getting rid of these freckles or sunspots. Multiple peeling session may be needed along with proper home regime for proper treatment of these dark spots. Sometimes surgical laser or fractional laser along with IPL laser may be used by dermatologist to treat these spots.
