    Shirely's Cream anyone?
    I've been looking on various forums and someone mentioned a product called "Shirely's Cream." Apparently, its been around for awhile, works fast and comes in a lipstick like case.

    If you have used this product, please include the following in your response:
    1. Your initial color before using the product and if it worked, where it bumped it up to
    2. How long did you use the product?
    3. How long did it take to see noticeable results?
    4. Did you use any other products, soaps, peels along with it?
    5. Any cons (greasy, foul odor etc.)

    Btw, I ALREADY know this product contains hydroquinone [=
    Thanks

    Hey... am someone!
    Hmmm... Shirley has been in the market ever since I knew myself 23 years ago! Very old product.
    I haven't used it personally but when I was in boarding school,many of my friends used it... on their face for acne.
    What I know about it is that:
    -The smell is okay.
    -It is greasy and very difficult to be absorbed into the skin.
    Apparently,maybe its meant to be that way.My friends slept with this whitish face at night and washed it off in the mornings.
    That's all I know... NEXT!

    Please ladies be careful with using Shirley, it contains 2.56% by weight of mercury (which is an awful lot) and the company who owns the Shirley brand had to withdraw this product from the market in some placese because it was "prohibited in cosmetics by the Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC". Mercury collects in women's ovaries and is toxic to our reproductive organs and plagues risks for "infertility, reproductive organ cancers, birth defects, developmental delays in children", among other side effects.
