John Plunkett’s Superfade Treatment Cream 60mL (S2)

John Plunkett’s Superfade Treatment Cream is a Schedule 2 Pharmacy Medicine formulated to fade the appearance of brown marks, age spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and uneven tone. It targets excess melanin at the source with a dermatologist-trusted depigmenting agent while gentle exfoliants help smooth skin texture and enhance penetration. Ideal for spot treatment on the face, hands, and body, the fast-absorbing cream layers easily under sunscreen and makeup for a simple, twice-daily routine.

Consistent use alongside strict daily sun protection helps prevent new darkening and supports visible results. The 60mL tube offers excellent value for a full treatment course.


Active Ingredients

  • Hydroquinone 2% w/w (20 mg/g) – inhibits tyrosinase to reduce the formation of new melanin, helping lighten existing hyperpigmented spots.

  • Keratolytic/exfoliant system (e.g., salicylic acid) – helps lift dull, surface cells and improve evenness of tone.
    Always refer to the product label for the complete and current ingredient list.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I use Superfade Treatment Cream?
A: On clean, dry skin, apply a thin layer directly to dark spots twice daily (morning and night). Allow to absorb fully before moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen each morning.

Q: How long until I see results?
A: Many users notice lightening in 4–8 weeks with diligent use and sun protection. If no improvement after the recommended course (often up to 12 weeks), seek professional advice.

Q: Do I need sunscreen?
A: Yes—essential. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily and reapply when outdoors. UV exposure can worsen pigmentation and reverse progress.

Q: Can I use it with retinol, AHAs/BHAs, or vitamin C?
A: Introduce combinations cautiously to minimise irritation. Avoid layering strong actives on the same area unless your clinician directs you.

Q: Is it safe for sensitive skin?
A: Patch test on a small area for 24 hours. If redness or irritation persists, reduce frequency or discontinue and consult a pharmacist or clinician.

Q: Can it be used on large areas?
A: Superfade is designed for localized spots, not for extensive application. For larger areas or melasma, seek personalised medical guidance.

Q: Can teenagers use it?
A: Use only on pharmacist or clinician advice. Always follow the S2 (Pharmacy Medicine) directions.

Q: What if my dark spots get darker or I develop irritation?
A: Stop use immediately and seek professional advice.
