Re: if you want fairer skin and rid acne scars, get this!
Fair and Lovely DID INDEED make my skin fairer. The thick gloopy cream certainly left behind a chalky white layer on my face. I looked like someone who dusted my face off with flour. At the time I was in my mid-teens........and my cousin mockingly asked me what I had done to become so gori. Ouch....the remark stung.
Apart from making me fantastically fair...........Fair and Lovely........also dried out my skin and irritated it. It was a waste of money and time.
Sometimes we think we're getting results from trying out a particular cosmetic........when in reality the skin could have cleared up because the person is using other more effective products........OR.........the individual is doing some of the basics (sleeping, reducing stress, hydration, good diet, proper cleaning) that could have cleared up the skin.
Even certain foods we eat have antibacterial properties that can flush out acne-causing bacteria from our systems.
Based on my own negative experience with F n L.........I wouldn't use it to treat any skin problems.
