Re: do whitning creams really work? my mom want to use it…
I don’t know what pearl cream is…I’m assuming this is a whitening cream sold in Pakistan? Either way…I will repeat…please don’t focus on the “getting white” part. There are creams out there that will make skin lighter…BUT in the long run, they do a lot of damage b/c the ingredients are not property measured.
What’s the active ingredient in pearl cream? And what’s the % of that ingredient? If the cream contains a high amount of hydroquinone…then it should not be used long term. B/C eventually, it can have a reverse effect (ie. the skin will turn darker!). Google hydroquinone and you’ll see all the horror stories/pictures associated with the MISUSE of this chemical b/c people didn’t take the time to learn about it before using it.
Personally, I wouldn’t take any chances with my mom’s skin. And by giving her a cream without researching the ingredients…you’re taking a chance b/c at the end…you really don’t know what you’re asking her to put on her face. Yes it works for your friend…but this is your MOTHER’s face, and she’s trusting YOU to ensure that the cream is safe.
And yes, sunblock is a MUST for any women who wanted to get rid of and/or prevent fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots etc. All these treatments/creams are pointless if she doesn’t apply a good stable sunblock everytime she’s out in the sun.
