Product Info

SuperFade Face Treatment Cream assists in fading brown skin blemishes, including freckles, age spots, melasma and hyper-pigmentation.

Brown skin blemishes, freckles and melasma occur when excessive pigmentation has resulted from the influence of sun exposure, hormonal variation, or skin type.

SuperFade Face Treatment Cream and SuperFade Treatment Cream for hands and body 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 Face Treatment Cream should be applied to the affected area only as it is specifically formulated for fighting unwanted 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 Face 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 Face Treatment Cream should be applied only to the area to be treated to reduce sensitivity reactions on surrounding skin. SuperFade Face Treatment Cream is also available in a 20ml tube with a soft silicone applicator tip for easy and precise application to small areas. This applicator helps to avoid unnecessary irritation of the surrounding “normal” 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 Treatment 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 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 Face 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 Face Treatment Cream can be used across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones. The SuperFade Face Treatment Cream should be applied only to the affected pigmented areas. We do not recommend SuperFade Face 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 Face 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 Face 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 Face Treatment Cream to penetrate more easily and can make the treatment time of SuperFade Face 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 Face Treatment Cream is not primarily designed for scaring, we have seen some results from facial pigmentation scarring. SuperFade Face Treatment Cream can be used for Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). SuperFade Face Treatment Cream should only be used post-acne on the pigmented acne scar.

SuperFade Face Treatment 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.

No, this product does not contain any fragrances.

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 to the affected area.
