Re: Tibet Snow Cream…any reviews?
Good to keep an eye out for creams containing mercury, thank you. Note that most mercury containing creams claim whitening of the skin effects.
No, Tibet Snow cream does NOT contain mercury. On the other hand it contains ALUM, which makes the skin and especially the bloodvessels in the skin contract in addition to block perspiration.
I suspect - but not confirmed it also contains salt of boronic acid (same active ingredient as in “Clear Eyes” drops).
IMPORTANT:
Salts of aluminum in products (i. e. deodorants) will eventually clog sweat glands and may cause abcesses as do all aluminum-salt containing anti-perspirants.
This cream is brilliant as an SOS remedy for swollen face/eyes ONLY in emergencies and should NOT be used on a dayly base. Very occasional use should do no harm, but keep in mind as said that this product will mostly lead to minor and irritated problems anywhere on the body if used frequently.
This said I personally adore this product when I have had a late night out. It makes me look fresh and make me look I have had 8 hours sleep. I use it maybe once every three months.
EDIT: After further research it now only contains salt of boronic acid ant no alum. This is good news!!
Please note that you should never use this product dayly nevertheless as salts of boronic acid is degenerating when used over time.
