Fair & Lovely - Fairness cream.
I have been using this cream for over 1o years but it has not made any changes to my skin colour.
The only reson I am using this is because my mom gets it in the canteen at a subsidized rate.
Good= The only good thing about the product is that it makes your skin look matte and not oily, it keeps your face oil free for the whole day. If you use twice a day you would end up looking decent.
Right now I am having Fair & Lovely - Total Fairness Cream with Biovita complex, multivitamin. 64 /-Rs for 50 g.
Key ingredients: Niacinamide(vit B3), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate( Provitamin C) Tocopheryl Acetate(provitamin E), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride(Provitamin B6), Sunscreens, Allantoin.
Bad= I dont like the fragrance of the product it is over powering, if you would have read my other reviews then you would know that I have a threshold limit for products high on fragrance. Fair & Lovely is like Talcum powder paste. You need not massage it into your skin so much like other sunscreens it does leave a white tinge on your face. If you look like a dead corpse that means you are applying too much of the product. On the other hand if you dont massage it at all, the cream would dry off and leave white visible lines like tissue paper stuck on your face.
After few months the cream in the tube(if you dont properly close the tube) dries off then you’ll see it looks just like talcum powder.
I have seen the Ad of F&L promises sun and the moon - Fairness in 7 weeks - Bulshit . If you believed that stuff God save you. I am even more perturbed that the Ad links "Skin colour to Success in Life" Maximum it would do is even out your skin tone and make you look less oily.
