Alhough the internet is filled with skin lightening or whitening products whose manufacturers make all sorts of 'vague' claims, I have yet to come across a study, a review or even an objective post in a forum from a client who has successfully 'whitened' decidedly brown skin.
Many people claim their skin got a little lighter, but exactly what that means is unclear. Perhaos some of their colour was a summer tan that faded as fall progressed & not the results of a cream. I am surper curious as to whether or not it can be done! Real scientific verifiable proof (not just anecdotes) would be something to see.
On Ebay, some con artisits are hawking Nur76 (with falsified photos & extravagant claims). Another company (Unilever) makers of Fair & Flawless have produced a series of offensive ads preying on some Indian woman's fears regarding social acceptance.
I believe that it is a human's right to decide what colour they want their skin, hair or eyes to be. I only caution that people be well informed about product safety & effectiveness & have 'sane' realistic expectations. Light skin will NOT automatically make you richer, smarter, 'better' etc. that you are now. Many make this mistake with risky plastic surgery. Instead of an improved look, they expect their entire life to magically become perfect. Before you slather on chemicals, be sure of their safety, their effectiveness & your own motives & expectations.
