Hello all guppies, I was just wondering have you guys seen that ad for skin care on desi channels. Ashe’s skin whitening cream. Someone I know is from India and has very dark pigmented skin and was asking me if I know anyone who has used the cream.
Let me know if any one of you know anything about this product line.
Thank you!
Re: Ashe's skin care products
Only one way to find out!
Re: Ashe's skin care products
I know someone who works in the field and is in Houston where this Ashe-inventor is located.
This source of mine found out what the formula of the creme is:
Literally, its a mixture of 3 creams:
Fair and Lovely (yep, the one you get in Pakistan).
Stillman's cream - its an American product
Archie's cream - Chinese product - it has pearl shimmer in it.
The combination is supposed to really make your skin lighter, due to the potency of the bleaching and lightening effects of each cream.
My source also found out where in Karachi this lady is getting her supply of creams from. The store owner sold this source Fair and Lovely, and asked if she would like Archie's to go with it - as a joke.
Re: Ashe's skin care products
PCG= Thank you so much for the information...............I am in shock:) okay, now here is another question, do they really work???
Re: Ashe's skin care products
Supposedly, many women in Houston are claiming wonders about it. Well, those that haven't heard the rumours being viciously spread by my jealous source. I swear, hairdressers - they are very catty people.
Re: Ashe's skin care products
i agree about the hairdressers. If you want to get all the gossip, that is a good place to go. Okay, well thanks, I will let my friend know.
Re: Ashe's skin care products
i knew there was sumthin fishy about this cream..
Re: Ashe's skin care products
Deviliciousss: have you used it??
Re: Ashe's skin care products
Mahru-- double check with someone please because I've heard that the combo mentioned above is carcinogenic in the long run (esp with UV rays -- ie: Pak)
Re: Ashe's skin care products
^ eek.
You know, I wondered how this Ashe girl is getting away with this combination (if its indeed true) - for more legal reasons. Aren't you not permitted to just combine a few already existing products?
:o
Re: Ashe's skin care products
I dont know about Ashe's ingredients ..but the threesome combo is very common at beauty parlours in Karachi.
Re: Ashe's skin care products
no way!
Oh the scandals of beauty parlors!
Re: Ashe's skin care products
just a side, they (meaning people in Pakistan) have been combining a bunch of creams and bleaches and using it to get gora gora. apparently my cousins have used it and they are firm believers of that. i wonder what would happen by mixing just random creams like that.
Re: Ashe’s skin care products
Well back in the day when I used to look like a Klingon (Star Trek creatures with bumpy foreheards), I combined one acne cream with another and it did the trick. :k:
Dried my skin though.
Re: Ashe's skin care products
i actually did some research on this school project which was based on the skin lightening craze in asian countries (india and pakistan for example). and well..most skin lightening or bleaching creams..contain hydroquinone. atleast 2% of it is concentrated into the solution. stillmans contains that. hydroquinone has disfigured countless women in africa, parts of the middle east, and asia. hydroquinone is only meant for those people who have pigmentary problems..not those who just feel like lightening their skin..and cannot be used for more then 6 months at a time. tell ur friend that she shud just stick to the basics (eat right, take vitamins, exercise, and wear sunblock spf45 all the time!) if ashe contains stillmans..it contains hydroquinone. avoid it!
Re: Ashe’s skin care products
So it’s alright to use on dark undereye circles and other dark areas of the face for a limited number of time?
Re: Ashe's skin care products
^ dark circles and patches can easily be covered up by concealer and foundation. I don't why girls go to the extent of bleaching.
Re: Ashe's skin care products
eh, i dont want to use concealor n foundation.. they dont work for me, or maybe Im not using it right..
Re: Ashe’s skin care products
NoWayyy!! I wouldnt trust these whitenin creams.. However Vit C is good for brightenin up complexion
