first, we use FAIR& LOVELY, but now, we use PONDS WHITE BEAUTY. FAIR&LOVELY cream stays in the skin sometime, but PONDS WHITE BEAUTY does not like this, it getting absorbed into the skin. It brightens the skin.It has a strong and nice fragrance. The packing is also very good with a small box.
Both creams come in tubes which are travel friendly. However Ponds is more reliable because the list is twist-open instead of Fair & Lovely which is pull open. Both claim to give whitening effect, Ponds says “BB+ fairness cream” and Fair & Lovely says “Foundation + fairness cream”.
In most cases, the fairness creams come with chemicals like Mercury, Hydroquinone and even steroids. If you expose your skin continually to these chemicals it may, in the long run, cause lethal skin damage giving rise to problems as serious as skin cancer even.
The main ingredient here is niacinamide. It is a form of Vitamin B3 which naturally occurs in the skin, but can get depleted. Applying niacinamide topically curbs melanin, which gives skin a darker colour. This means it lightens spots and makes the skin whiter.
Fair & Lovely offers its consumer a high definition glow - which comprises skin clarity, more radiance and skin that is free from imperfections. Infused with Multivitamins - Vitamin B3, C, E and B6 and Niacinamide, it brightens your skin, reduces inflammation and hyperpigmentation and smoothens overall skin texture.
Unilever will rename Fair & Lovely, a skin-lightening cream which has been criticised for promoting negative stereotypes around dark skin tones. It will also remove references to "whitening" or "lightening" on the products, which are sold across Asia.
Product description

Fake fairness product
Here I want to share my personal experience with "Fair and Handsome" cream. Product claims that it gives you fairness in just 3-4 weeks. Honestly, I used this product from last 5 months and doesn't see any improvement on my face. Instead of fairness on skin it gives you a pimples.
Now available in two shades – 01 Original: For light to medium skin tone and 02 Medium: For medium to deep medium skin tone. Formulated by the Pond's Institute, this cream helps cover spots and dark circles to give you an even skin tone with a natural coverage and finish.
The Fair and Lovely BB Cream is a glow cream with a make-up finish. This expert product brings together the benefits of foundation and advanced multivitamin glow cream. Its suitable for all Indian skin tones. Use it daily to hide dark spots and blemishes, and achieve a bright and fresh look every day.
As cosmetic dermatologist Michele Green sums it up: “CeraVe is the best overall body lotion. It is safe for all skin types and packed with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and humectants to keep the most sensitive skin hydrated.”
Glow & Lovely (formerly Fair & Lovely) is an Indian skin-lightening cosmetic product of Hindustan Unilever introduced to the market in India in 1975.
It works good as a normal moisturising cream but needs more massaging on the face than normal creams. It does not absorb very well on the skin. It keeps my skin moisturised for 6-7 hours. Overall, the fairness (brightening due to the white elements) lasts only as long as we have it on our skin.
Our experts recommend that Fair And Handsome Radiance Cream for Men should be used twice daily - once in the morning and once in the evening or night, just after cleansing or shaving your face.
Aloe vera has antibacterial properties that can help control and reduce acne-causing bacteria. Two other ingredients that have been studied and found to have this same effect are cinnamon and honey. By combining all three for an at-home spa treatment, you'll be upping your chances at smooth skin that's acne-free.
