Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Depiwhite cream has hydroquinone which when used unsupervised for more than 4-6 months could cause side effects like ochronosis. ( darkening of skin) . under the supervision of a dermatologist it is safe. For freckles, more importantly you will need to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 and above every 3-4 hours. You could also do chemical peels.
Hope this helps you.
Take care
