*ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE.Description Superfade Face Treatment Cream is a medicated, pharmacy strength skin treatment that assists in fading brown skin blemishes, including freckles, age spots, post-acne marks, hormonal patches and hyper-pigmentation.
Brown skin blemishes, freckles and hormonal patches 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.
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: (PIH) occurs after an injury to the skin. It is a discolouration of the skin that follows an inflammatory wound such as a rash, scrape, or pimple. Popping a pimple increases the chance of PIH as it is increasing the inflammation. As the skin starts to heal, the skin overproduces melanin, and this excess melanin darkens the skin. Unlike acne scaring, PIH is a type of pigmentation.
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.
Suitable For: Suitable for most skin types with brown skin blemishes and freckles, which occur when excessive pigmentation has resulted from the influence of sun exposure, hormonal variation or skin type. A patch test is advised before initial use.
