John Plunkett's Superfade Treatment Cream 60mL

General Information 

SuperFade Face Treatment Cream is a potent, pharmacy-strength formula designed to reduce pigmentation, including brown skin blemishes like freckles and age spots on the face. Its active ingredient, Hydroquinone (2%), effectively targets pigmentation at its source. Noticeable results can be expected within six weeks of consistent use.

Pigmentation concerns such as freckles and melasma often arise due to sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, or genetic skin type factors. Hydroquinone is recognized as the gold standard in skin-lightening treatments, as it works by deactivating the overactive melanocytes responsible for producing excess melanin, which leads to dark spots on the skin’s surface.

SuperFade Face Treatment Cream is specifically formulated for localized application to affected areas, ensuring targeted treatment of unwanted pigmentation. Regular use over six weeks should yield visible improvements.

Suitable For: Assisting in the fading of brown skin blemishes, including freckles and age spots.
