I know warnings are rarely adhered, but I'll post anyway for the safety of others whose desire is to avoid the steroid clobetasol propionate (as well as other steroid and mercury-based ingredients) to the sickly side effects it gives. They use at their own risk with no regrets and that Ask Me Help Desk does not promote this product or any steroid-based product (including heavy metals as well) in any form that can cause serious harm:


Doctors list the side effects of bleaching creams as:

1.Skin cancer
2.Thinning of the skin
3.Irreversible stretch marks
4.Diabetes
5.Osteoporosis
6.Infection
7.Easy bruising and tearing of the skin

8.Glaucoma
9.Rashes
10.Enlarged blood vessels
11.Cracking and fissuring
12.Cushing's syndrome
13.Excessive hair growth (Including Hair Growth Around The Mouth: Mustache & Beard)
14.Susceptibility to infection

15.Hyper pigmentation (SKIN DARKENING)
16.Numbness of fingers
17.Delayed wound healing
18.Acne and hormonal disturbances

23.Folliculitis
24.Hypertrichosis

"Dr John Meadows, the hormone specialist who treated Gina, said: 'It was a truly shocking case. Although I have seen similar cases, this was the worst. First, her skin was permanently disfigured. But most alarming was that her adrenal glands had stopped producing one of the hormones essential to life.

... An Observer reporter asked a man standing behind the till for a skin-lightening cream. He offered two: Movate, which is made in Italy, and Hyprogel from Germany. Both contain the steroid clobetasol propionate, the chemical that nearly killed Gina."

... Asked why they were selling illegal creams, the shopkeepers pleaded ignorance. 'I did not know it was wrong,' said Mohammed of MJ News. 'Our customers ask for it and we buy it from a supplier. It is very popular."

Dear members, please keep in mind that when you encourage or suggest to others to use steroid and mercury-based bleaching products (including the entire infamous Bio Claire line) that you should also mention to individuals of the dangerous and toxic health risks that can cause permanent disfigurement as well as harm to the body's organs of the individual(s). Many of these risks are not reversible.


Use Steroids At Your Own Risk

I hope people take heed to these warnings.

I have used movate in the past but never on a long term basis, it is dangerous and I have suffered from heart palpations when using it in the past and I'm in my late 20's, so if you do use movate don't use it long term and movate is not for everyone especially people that have prior health conditions

Yes, movate does contain mercury, the give is that it works very well the take is that it is very unhealthy

Love this post! Great work, GG!

Thanks Punk Chick.


Movate, along with other lightening products ending in "-vate" unfortunately contains steroids and/or mercury. I think people should really be aware that this stuff really is dangerous and can even sooner or later be fatal.
