Superfade Face Cream 40mL (S2)

Superfade Face Cream is a pharmacy-only (Schedule 2) medicated cream clinically formulated to help fade brown skin blemishes, including freckles, age spots, and pigmentation marks on the face. Containing a targeted skin-lightening agent, Superfade works by gradually reducing excess melanin production, helping to even out skin tone and restore a clearer complexion.

Unlike cosmetic brightening products, Superfade Face Cream is classified as a pharmacy medicine because it contains a medically active ingredient that acts on pigmentation at the source. It is recommended for adults seeking to reduce unwanted pigmentation caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or ageing.
