Fairness Creams
Review of Literature
No one knows beauty products better than women, who are always trying something or the other on their skin. From Banana to Rose water yes they have tried it all to look younger and for a fairer complexion. But apart from all these natural products is there a product in the Indian market which can make a women or man fairer in fewer days, we will find out by reviewing these fairness creams. Since nearly every product in the market claims to making you fair from Shahid Kapoor to John Abraham and from Katrina Kaif to Kajole selling Olay products. The market for beauty products is vast but the market for fairness creams I think occupies 90% of the space.
Long from the days of Britisher’s have always loathed dark skin thinking the white is always right, because of the hot climate in India most of us are dark skinned. And no matter what we try the colour pigmentation in our skin doesn’t seem to be responding to these products easily. Ever wished could just wash off the colour of your skin just like those Tide washing powder ads, where dirt vanishes instantly?
Fair and Handsome: - Shockingly the Indian fairness cream market never saw the males as their potential customers, until the Emami Fair and Handsome cream was launched. It can be said as the first cream to focus on Indian males. It is priced around 37 Rs for a medium pack. And yes I must say it works, atleast on my complexion it did show some positive results. But it has drawbacks the cream is sticky and does not spread over your skin. May be a gel base formulation would make it more effective. The ingredients have not been shared by the cream makers but they claim it to be Ayurvedic and natural.
Garnier for Men Power Light:- Garnier is a well known brand among beauty products, it has recently launched its popular Garnier for Men Powerlight cream, with a gel based cream Garnier Powerlight seems to be effective for all skins. It also provides with SPF15 sun screen. Though it is not for people

    The last anti-aging product for women that I researched is Burt's Bees Radiance Night Crème which retails for 14.99 for 20oz at CVS. This product claims to use powerful ingredients found in nature, such as Royal Jelly, which will stimulate cellular renewal in skin and also diminish fine lines. Royal Jelly is what worker bees feed their queen and consists of several essential amino acids and vitamins such as A, C and E. There was no target audience listed within the product description so I went to ww.burtsbees.com to…

    Indian ads that are used to set up dowry and marriage proposals usually look for women that are fair to light complexion and women that are darker try to make themselves look as light as possible. There are many stories in which Indian men that are seeking marriage with these women will not meet the woman if she appears to be of darker pigmentation. One prime example of this is an advertisement that mimics the Bollywood film and it is an advertisement for Fair and Lovely, a very popular skin bleach in India. The scene opens up to a family that is struggling with their finances and the father exclaims that if only he had a son then their troubles would all go away. His daughter feels saddened to hear this so she escapes to her room where her mother gives her a large tub of the Fair and Lovely cream.

    Both Estēe Lauder and Dermalogica as well as other beauty companies claim to prevent signs of ageing to produce excessive amounts of money every year. As ageing is an inevitable process for everyone, there is a huge market to sell these sorts of products. The beauty industry is so successful as it sells on emotion. Men and women with low self esteem constantly seek out various products in order to gain self confidence and feel accepted in society. Skin care ointments are commonly aimed at middle aged women who are desperately trying to escape the unavoidability of ageing. The advertisement for these ointments are always cleverly placed so that the aimed audience can discover and purchase them.…

    For this application paper, I chose to write about personal care products as they relate to sex and gender. I chose this topic because I think that separate personal care products for men and women are, for the most part, ridiculous, and I also wanted to see what sort of differences there were between the two genders’ answers to the questions.…

    Bad Body Image

    In the “late-19th century and early-20th century, skin-lightening became increasingly popular among black women in America” (Scherker). For lovelier and lighter skin, women of color could lighten their skin to be appealing and maybe find someone who likes the “new them.” Instead of being comfortable in the skin they were born in, they used a cream that contains chemicals that are banned in major countries, like Australia and Japan. It shows that being natural is not good enough. People buy these products to alter themselves to look pleasant in public. However, it doesn’t promote a positive body image. The ads and products are not showing people in their natural skins. They are photo shopped and airbrushed, because they are in the industry, where you must look attractive to the public. A normal person on a normal day doesn’t look like a model in a photo shoot. These beauty products aim to achieve that goal, but in reality, it is taking away from the naturalness that every woman should be comfortable and confident…

    Broadly we can categorize this into 4 phase – Product Evolution phase, Promotion of brand phase, Price rationalisation phase & Targeting different group of people and product diversification phase. The phase I (1986 – 2006) is basically the Product evolution phase wherein the effort through the advertisement was made to Re-script Destiny by first fairness product. The cream assured to provide fairness within 6 weeks as a guarantee for marriage. Hence the product was sold on Need, Want and Demand. The 2nd phase (2001 – 2006) emphasized on Promotion of the product through brand expansion. It targeted the young college going women, rural women etc. In the 3rd phase (2006 – onwards) there was aggressive competition among various companies producing similar products. The different players adopted various modes to capture the share of market through Price rationalization, Extra 50 – 100gm within the same price, cream in sachet etc. The 4th phase (2010 – onwards) emphasis is on product diversification and targeting new group of People i.e. Men. In this period the companies started producing fairness facewash gels, fairness soap, fairness talc and the effort is also to target men through fairness cream for men etc.…

    According to my opinion it is not ethical to sell the product that is at best, only mild effective because at a spur of the moment the consumer one feel it is the best but as the time goes on one understands the difference and realizes that their trust and loyalty with implicit understanding have been impeached and this may affect the brand in certain ways like pricing, promotion and may be distribution. The product fair and lovely lightens the skin which is called the miracle worker and provides the result within the four weeks of the use but dermatologist have already explained the reasons that it is never going to last forever but on the contrary it is going to have a temporary effect because of bleaching. No consumers want to buy a product that is only showing minimal changes as result. No consumer wants to buy a product that shows only a slight change as a result. buyers will think twice to buy this product, because they feel that bleaching will not be eternal if they stop using this product. if the user thinks like this, then the company should look for another alternative to keep the buyers and make his company to survive in the market share.…
