About early generation Fair and Flawlesss - earlier known as PURE PERFECT and Sold in SOUTH AFRICA

Pure Perfect skin-lightening cream being tested after users complained cream “destroyed” their skin

Also read the testimonials where Fair and Flawless side effects have been stated.

Pure perfect and Fair and Flawless are sister companies and people have faced problems with this cream in the past. Obviously they have changed their ingredients now. Some other steroid possibly

My Point is PEOPLE WHO ARE COMFORTABLE USING SUBSTANCES LIKE STEROIDS ETC. for LIGHTENING, ITS COOL

Just don't go around saying that Fair and Flawless is made up of NATURAL INGREDIENTS.

A company which previously came under scrutiny for illegal harmful ingredients being used, went bust and relaunched with a new name - Please?? You think they are using ALL NATURALE products ?

Then my TROPICANA bottle of Juice which claims ALL NATURAL NO PRESERVATIVES MUST ALSO BE RIGHT ?

Another Logic is : When LEGAL creams like FAIR AND LOVELY have to use minuscule amounts of mercury to create a difference, we are talking about a crazy in HIDING , NO MARKETING product like FAIR AND FLAWLESS solely made for COSMETIC reasons, with a BAD NAME in the past under the brand name PURE PERFECT, to be ALL CLEAN??

Wake UP and SMELL THE COFFEE.

Yes, Fair and Lovely contains mercury which collects in the ovaries and can cause damage...

And golden do you honestly reckon , fair and flawless which gives people results in a week or less is ALL NATURAL?

Which natural product has ever created significant lightening ever?

This needs to be read by ALL THOSE people INCLUDING the person who asked for proof about Fair and Flawless especially PARTY GOD!

No, not all natural. Some also perceive that "all natural" = all safe or gentle, in which some natural or synthetic ingredients can be gentle or safe, or toxic and harmful to the body.

Ingredients: "Pure Aloe Vera Extract, Purified Sea Water, Sorbitol, Glycereth-26, Corpus Crispus (?, no data on it unless also misspelled), White Tea Extract, Allatoin (misspelled word of Allantoin), Lemon Extract, White Ginger Extract, Carbomer –940, Wild Chamomile, Alpha Arbutin, SepiWhite Msh (undecylenoyl phenylalanine), Glycolic, Lactic and kojic Acids, tamarind extract, Malic Acid, Apple extract, Horse Chestnut, imidazolidinyl Urea, methyparaben (misspelled word of methylparaben), Fragrance.

From the ingredients that were publicly listed:
1. Sepiwhite MSH (aka Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine) is very synthetic and isn't natural. Skin lightener

2. Sorbitol, although this sugar alcohol derives from certain fruits and is produced naturally by the body. Yet it is a highly processed sugar most likely not found in whole foods/natural health stores. Also, too much sorbitol in cells can cause damage. Thickener and humectant

3. Fragrance, in skin care products fragrance is mostly are synthetic and it takes several amounts (sometimes hundreds) of different chemicals to make a cosmetic "fragrance".

4. Allantoin comes in both natural and chemically synthesized form. Moisturizer

5. Carbomer 940 is synthetic. Used as thickener

6. Imidazolidinyl Urea, synthetic. Also classified as toxic, immune toxicant, and a harmful impurity. It can instigate the immune system response that can include "itching, burning, scaling, hives, and blistering of skin, or severe respiratory reaction". Imidazolidinyl urea may cause contact dermatitis in some individuals. Preservative

7. Methylparaben, part of the paraben family, synthetic, and classified as a "human skin toxicant, endocrine disruption, Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), Irritation (skin, eyes, lungs), biochemical or cellular level changes. Parabens are very synthetic and considered harmful preservatives due to it being considered a cancer hazard. Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), Biochemical or cellular level changes. Natural ingredients such as vitamin E and vitamin C can help preservatives, but skin care and hair products need stronger forms to preserve the product for a longer periods and prevent them from going rancid.

Wake UP and SMELL THE COFFEE. !

You seem to have the Pure Perfect/Fair and Flawless lines strangely mixed up:confused: Fair and Flawless came first, then Pure Perfect.
Pure Perfect is not a bad name from the past, they are simply private labeling the F&F products and neither of these products have ever contained steroids!

The product that received complaints was not a F&F/PP product but Sorisha's own compounded product which did not yield the same results as the F&F/PP parfait that is why they just brought back the original because it worked so well.
