FAQ about Actifade

The Actifade program consists of the Actifade targeted skin-lightening cream and the water-resistant concearler. So how is the actifade cream to be used/applied to achieve maximum results? On the affected area, for example on the sun spots that are on your face, apply a small amount as a thin layer directly onto those spots. Do so twice daily or as directed by your physician. After you have applied the Actifade cream, you should wait at least 15 to 20 mins before you apply the concealer which comes in medium shade to cover up the spots.

It is recommended that you stop using Actifade should you not experience any improvement after 3 months of use because it would mean that the product will not work for you.

A common question users ask is what can Actifade actually do for my skin? What sort of skin improvements will it provide? Actifade will gradually help with the fading of dark (brownish) discolorations in the skin such as freckles, age and liver spots, and pigment in the skin that may occur in pregnancy or from the use of oral contraceptives. Remember that Actifade is to be used by adults, children under 12 years of age should not be used. Also, avoid sun exposure by using a sunscreen agent, a sun-blocking agent, or protective clothing to cover bleached skin.

What is Actifade?

Actifade is both a cosmetic and a medication that is supposed to fade sun spots, age spots and dark discolorations. Actifade contains vitamin C and shea butter which helps to reduce appearance of free radical damage as well as soothe & soften the skin.

What are age spots? They are actually not caused by age but by the sun. Age spots are most common in older people but can be seen on younger people as well if they are exposed to the sun a lot. Age spots are a result of the overproduction of lipofuscin, a dark substance produced by our cells.

Sun spots are lentigines. They are harmless, flat, brown discolorations of the skin which usually occur on the face, neck and back of hands. These spots may start appearing when your are about 40 years of age. Sun spots are a sign of sun damage.
