Question

I am a redhead with natural freckles that I love and don’t want to lose

Thank you for your question and photograph. Retin-A is a great product that helps with the cell turn over and helps diminish mild discouloration. This won't get rid of any freckles that are meant to be there. I advise you to use sunscreen daily to avoid sun damage or sun freckling from occurring. If there are any sun freckles then Retin-A can help to lighten these, sunscreen and sun avoidance will prevent further sun freckling from coming up. 
I hope this helps.
