Glad to see both of you together again!! We love seeing the interactions and the editing is hilarious 😂

Dr. Maxfield is such a good sport, and his freckles are as cute as anyone else’s freckles! You’re both good sports, and I love your humor and friendship. May it last forever. 🤗

So happy to see the two of you again! I missed these myth busting videos 😊❤

I love my freckles. I've had them since I was a child. Yes, I am a redhead. I can't imagine my face without them. If you have them, love them, embrace tham!

Is it a video about freckles? Is it a video about wrinkles? The world might never know!😂 love you guys

[karenguenther]

I don't think I even care what the topic is, I just love seeing you two hash it out together, laughing all the way 🥰

[sivanybunny]

48 yrs old and I have had freckles most of my life. I have been using spf and retinoid consistently for a few years. I still have them. They may have lightened up a bit, but I don't think they are ever going away. My redhead/freckle genetics are too strong! LOL

I tell people that my freckles activate in the sun. they get darker if I go in the sun or they hide a bit when I have not been as exposed to the sun. But they are always there with me, my freckle community❤ hehehe

I’ve had freckles across my cheeks and nose since I was a little kid (I do have reddish/brown/coppery colored hair). I love my freckles! They have faded a bit as I’ve gotten older, though.

I have hair that's the darkest brown (looks black when not in sunlight), brown eyes and lots of freckles. Have had freckles since childhood and would like to keep them ❤ So far I've been using Retinol for a year, but on an inconsistent schedule and my freckles are still the same.

Thank you for making content on freckles!!! There's so much content out there about pigmentation, with no mention of freckles, so I was always a little unsure if the information applied to freckles too. I have them and am happy with a small quantity, but admittedly I have more than I desire due to outdoor hobbies and harsh Aussie sun. Thanks again and keep the awesome videos coming ✌️

[darbyj]

this ABSOLUTELY happened to me. I'm a redhead, and ive had freckles on my face since i was a kid. After a decade plus of using Retin-A and spf, my freckles are GONE.

[paulalockhart]

Oh no …. 😲 sad that my freckles will fade - have always loved my freckles. my red hair and freckles are what make me unique! Don’t worry despite the possibility of fading I’ll still keep SPF in my morning routine. Love your channel and you two are hilarious! I’ve learned so much, thank you.

[Fotals]

Glad to see you guys together!! Love all the videos keep ‘em coming

[hottmasala]

Dynamic Duo together again!!! Missed you guys. I think Dr.Maxfield's freckles are adorable. Interesting think freckles are cute....if they don't go away after spf n retinol I say embrace them.

[kayrabey]

You guys make me laugh! I do t have freckles but I do have sun damage on my cheeks. I just started trentnoin at .05 percent and they have started to fade. Bye bye, it makes me happy and I won’t miss them when they are gone!

[HeritageHighlandAcres]

I’m so pale (I’m basically translucent and couldn’t tan if my life depended on it) that I’ve had to wear sunscreen my entire life and have to constantly reapply. Even with sunscreen I have freckles everywhere. My Irish genetics apparently so strong that I can freckle through any sunscreen.

[theresaiyare]

the fear of losing my freckles is the only reason i haven't started using retinol
