Fairness Cream Side Effects: You will get a fair complexion, but your health will have to pay the price – know the dangers of fairness cream.

Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the sale of Gori Beauty Cream made in Pakistan, because toxic amounts of mercury were found in this cream in lab tests. The surprising thing was that there was no expiry date written on this cream, due to which questions were raised on its safety and compliance with the rules.

This matter came to light when complaints from some women came from Nagpur. These women had applied this cream continuously for about two years, after which they started suffering from kidney related diseases. Investigation revealed that most of the women had ordered this cream from online shopping websites. Lab testing confirmed the presence of mercury in this cream, which is considered a poisonous substance.

All these things raise a big question on online shopping of skincare. Also, experts say that despite so much awareness, people’s desire to get fair skin is not decreasing, whereas the truth is that healthy skin has nothing to do with color. He also tells that one should rely only on skin-lightening medicines given on doctor’s advice.

It is believed that if a person uses such cream for a long time, the protective layer of his skin gets damaged, due to which instead of making his face glow, problems like spots, acne etc start appearing. The matter is not limited to just this. According to experts, using these products can affect the entire body.

Let us tell you that the creams used without doctor’s supervision and sold without rules often contain dangerous ingredients like strong steroids, hydroquinone and mercury. Their misuse for a long time can cause problems like thinning of the skin, frequent acne, pigmentation problems, infections. Creams that contain mercury can cause serious harm to other parts of the body.

This case highlights a big problem related to online shopping. Many people assume that everything sold on e-commerce websites is safe, whereas the truth is completely different. Doctors advise that before buying any face cream, the information about its manufacturing company, list of ingredients used, batch number and expiry date should be checked. He says that skincare products should always be from trusted brands or those prescribed by doctors.

Ultimately, doctors believe that good skincare does not mean following social media trends, but choosing products that are scientifically proven and suitable for your skin type. According to dermatologists, the identity of healthy skin is not its being fair, but its being healthy.
