I just wanted to inform everyone about what I've seen going on here:
Sometimes, when people ask questions about skin problems that they have, advertisers will try to recommend their products to the OP (original poster) under the pretense of a fellow poster.
This has also occurred on another skincare forum in which a poster, who was later discovered to be a sales representative, tried to push another poster to buy Fair and Flawless.
So, if someone seems overly enthusiastic about a beauty product, then you may want to check things out first before buying. It's okay to recommend a product or brand, but if you see that all of someone's posts consistenlty recommend the SAME product or brand, then red flags should fly.
