Product Info
*SuperFade Treatment Cream is a medicated, pharmacy strength skin treatment to help fade pigmentation, age spots, freckles and brown skin blemishes on the hands and body.
Proudly owned and made in Australia, SuperFade Treatment Cream is designed with the harsh Australian climate in mind to address common skin complaints that are a direct result of over exposure to the sun. As the sunburnt country, it is no wonder most Australian women have unwanted pigmentation. It is not just limited to the face, many women find the sun loving years of youth have caught up with them, and are now showing pigmentation on their hands, arms, and décolletage.
SuperFade Treatment Cream for hands and body and SuperFade Face Treatment Cream are the only non-prescription pharmacy medicines in Australia that contain the powerful active ingredient Hydroquinone (2%).
Hydroquinone is the gold standard in pigmentation fading and works by disabling the damaged melanocyte deep in the skin that produces excess melanin which then forms the brown pigment on the surface of the skin.
SuperFade Treatment Cream should be applied to the affected area only as it is specifically formulated for fighting pigmentation at the source. Results should begin to appear in just 6 weeks of regular and consistent use.

FAQs
Many women suffer from some form of hyperpigmentation. This can take the form of age spots on the backs of hands and dark marks on the face, hormone marks, or just uneven pigmentation. These marks are usually distinguished as flat, brown marks on the surface of the skin.
SuperFade Treatment Cream contains hydroquinone, which disables the damaged melanocytes that produce excess melanin which moves to the surface of the skin to produce pigmentation. The disabling action stops the movement of melanin and therefore can fade flat, brown marks on the skin's surface.
SuperFade Treatment Cream should be applied only to the area to be treated to reduce sensitivity reactions on surrounding skin.
It is best to use a gentle, soap-free cleanser.
SuperFade Face Treatment Cream and SuperFade Cream have the same level of active key ingredients.
SuperFade Cream is in a 60ml tube as it is for use on the hands or body.
SuperFade Face treatment Cream is in a 40ml tube for use on the face.
SuperFade Face Treatment Cream is also available in a 20ml applicator tube which is perfect for small marks and post acne pigmented scarring
As pigmentation has formed over the years, the fading action also takes some time. It is important to use as directed.
SuperFade Treatment Cream and Face Cream work gradually and results should be evident after 6 weeks. SuperFade De Pigment Accelerator Serum can be used to increase the speed of treatment (apply first).
SuperFade Treatment Cream should be used 3 times a day (morning, afternoon/evening and before bed). As the pigmentation has usually developed over a long period of time, and hydroquinone works by disabling melanin-producing melanocytes deep in the skin, treatment usually takes 6-8 weeks to be effective.

Fading is gradual and can take several months. If fading is not evident after 3 months, ask your doctor for advice.
SuperFade Treatment Cream can be used across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones. The SuperFade Treatment Cream should be applied only to the affected pigmented areas. We do not recommend SuperFade Treatment Cream for lightening the overall colour of the face as this may result in uneven darkening rather than the desired skin lightening. It's important to always read the label and follow the directions for use.
SuperFade Treatment Cream is white. However, it may darken on exposure to air, but this does not affect its efficacy. All SuperFade products should be stored under 25 degrees C in a cool, dry place.
Freckles can be very stubborn. We have found that the best results occur when SuperFade Treatment Cream is used 3 times a day for at least 6-8 weeks. SuperFade De Pigment Accelerator Serum may also help. Accelerator Serum prepares the skin by exfoliating the dead skin cells allowing SuperFade Treatment Cream to penetrate more easily and can make the treatment time of SuperFade Treatment Cream shorter.
Since pigmentation and freckles can be caused by sun exposure, it is very important to protect your skin against further damage by using an SPF30+ sunscreen.
Although SuperFade Treatment Cream is not primarily designed for scaring, we have seen some results from facial pigmentation scarring.
SuperFade Cream is a Pharmacy Medicine. While there is no specific instruction regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding, we recommend that application of the cream should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is always best to consult with your health professional.

Hydroquinone is a potent active ingredient that helps fade unwanted pigmentation by disabling the damaged melanocytes that produce excess melanin (the brown colouring in your skin). Unfortunately, sometimes hydroquinone can irritate skin, and this is more likely on the delicate facial skin. Mild irritation may occur (mild stinging of treated skin; or - mild itching, dryness, redness, or other irritation). Stop use if it becomes severe. You should always test your skin by doing a small patch test on the inside of your arm, to see if you get any irritation. Many people do not do this first. If the test is okay after a couple of days, then start applying SuperFade Treatment Cream to the affected area.

SuperFade Treatment Cream should only be applied to the dark, age spots, not the surrounding "normal" skin. We understand that this can be difficult, but it sometimes results in the surrounding skin also becoming a little lighter and the age spot appearing darker before it fades.
SuperFade Treatment Cream assists in fading brown skin blemishes including freckles and age spots and contains the powerful active ingredient Hydroquinone.
Sunspot Cream helps treat solar keratosis (sunspots) which are raised, rough, red or white marks and uses the active ingredient Salicylic Acid.
SuperFade Treatment Cream is an S2 pharmacy medicine as it contains the powerful active ingredient Hydroquinone. SuperFade Treatment Cream is a spot treatment and so should only be applied to the spot or area to be treated and is for use on moderate & hyperpigmentation.

For faster results SuperFade De Pigment Accelerator Serum can be applied before spot treatment of SuperFade Treatment Cream.
