Without naming any product or company, I am curious to know, if the fairness products really work? I mean how can a black person become fair with the use of just creams?

Skin color is natural. The very idea of changing this is disgusting. The fairness creams may make some changes in look. But color cannot be changed. Also there may be some harmful substances in these creams.

I know that the complexion is natural and almost impossible to change it as well (except for plastic surgery, may be). But I always wonder how these products claim to increase the fairness levels. Aren't these false promises?


I find that many individuals especially women's faces are fairer than rest of body. This is because they apply fairness and other creams to face only.

Yes, that's good observation ;) hahaha. Women give more importance to only their facial beauty, it seems. But then does this mean the fairness creams do work in fact?


Mot necessarily. The creams and other make up have very temporary effect. Just see a woman early morning when she has not used any cream or make up. she will look blackish as she really is. But after bath and make up, her face will be brighter.

It does work since it contains bleaching elements so with regular use one can see the skin tone lightening, but what other negative effect it can have is anybody's guess - Cucumber juice and tomatoes too help in lightening the skin tone and are better for skin and less expensive..
I don't think any fairness cream as claimed by any company can make skin fairer if they do they do it for promotion/sail of their products and ultimately making consumers fool. :blink:

Yes it is making consumers a fool and scapegoats of great marketing. But I still would like to question again as to how people get caught by the marketing techniques and start believing the so-called false promises.

What spelling mistake, Sandhyaji and where is it exactly? Is it anywhere here "Do faireness products really work?" Should it be "fairness"? Please clarify.
Some product works definitely but many are some advertisement to sell.

Yes, let's be fair to some fairness products. Though all promise, only some of them deliver. So, I guess, if the technicalities are taken into account, some products would be working too.

But as Sharmistha said, some home made products are good.
Natural ingredients do work in improve skin complexion and if the skin fairness product is completely free from chemical and harmful substances then maybe we can test it to see the results. I think natural ingredients like saffron, aloe vera can increase complexion.

Obviously, 'faireness' needs be corrected as 'fairness'. I shall correct this. I agree that certain products containing natural herbs are good for skin health and may also bring some fairness.

Ok, thanks for correcting this one. I have also heard about natural remedies to augment the fairness. But the chemical substances in the modern creams can harm the body. One needs to be careful about this.
Fairness product just works for only some hours.After some time we used to get our normal skin color.So useless.

That's right. The effect is pretty temporary. However, the makeup isn't washed, it can last longer than before. Ultimately, we get back the skin complexion as you rightly pointed out.
skin color , bald and grey hair are from our genes. it has no medicine. the weak area is exploited by market products. have moral and ethical code, it will improve your aura. graceful look is a gift.

I didn't understand what moral and ethical code you were talking about? Did you mean that the companies should be abiding by the moral and ethical code and not advertise their creams?
