Has anybody use Arche pearl cream? I am about to use it, but I heard it has mercury in it. Does it really? Is it safe on my skin? Does it have any side effect? How about Yoko whitening skin?If you know any cream similar but safer and more natural, please tell me. Thank you

I heard it works best with stillmans.. I tried using stillmans.. a big time flop .

Don't know how well it works with arche pearl though.

But in south asia I know that pearl powder is used as a skin conditioner. I remember my friend used to use it Lucknow.

He used to call it Moti Pissi. Or Pearl powder.

And he had magnificent complexion and green eyes. :) ( green eyes have nothing to do with the powder lol) but it just laid an impact on me that's all .

Please read this thread form a past askmehelpdesk thread.

ArchePearlCream

@iamgorgoes:Thank you for replying. I am so lost. There are just ton of them out there and it is so hard to figure out which is the one for me. The funny thing is that Arche cream don't list their ingredient so it is kind of hard to trust, although it has been bought buy a lot of user. The only pearl cream I found that actually list their ingredient is Yoko pearl and gingseng cream. They said it is made all from herbal and natural ingredient. Has you ever heard of it before?

@nikkicute:So you mean it does have Mercury? Do you have any recommendation for a safer and no side effect cream? How about Yoko or Promina?

I just linked to a thread where the product has been discussed before. If a product does not list it's ingredients I'd say it's a sign to stay away from it.
I'm not familiar with Yoko or Promina, they sound like Asian products to me.

Here is a discussion here on the cream some have used it.
YOKO

I see it being sold on eBay and they list the ingredients.

Some articles in the net and local newpaper says that it does contain mercury but others at the sametime say otherwise.it is really unknown which is true,therefore the presence of mercury is still debatable. But the results r very visible.it works on most skin types although some take up to 2 months to show any difference n onle 1 in a 1000 has zero effect and rarely 1 can b seen with negative effects.some also say it works best as night cream via their own experience.
There has not been any specific test done to see what skin type gives what reactions thus it is unknown what result you would get by using it.

check out the website above, it tests many foreign cream and Arche Pearl is one of them. It is free of Mercury.

This cream did get rid of my skin rashes. I love it. Just apply a little and it will stop rashes and whiten dark spots. Try it for about 4 weeks.

The only pearl cream that is most safe is one manufactured by large companies in the USA.

Arche and Stillman have been confirmed to contain mercury, as have many pearl creams from Asia, Africa, Middle East, Pacific, all over the place so it's just too risky to use foreign pearl creams or tiny brands.

Note sellers are importing Arche and selling it on Amazon, Ebay etc with fake claims that it tested clear of Mercury. Lies in order to make a profit for this tiny pot of cream the size of a quarter.
