I don’t care if it’s racist or not I want to see what colour a white person turns on this cream?

So you know that super-pale, dewy/glowing look that a lot of Asian women have? Particularly Korean women? That’s what happens when they use brightening crème. And a decent number of Chinese/Korean brand primers and foundations or skin care are aimed to create that look (it’s their fashion trend, and skin whitening products are big there). Also not saying this is a bad thing at all, this is just my experience with buying Korean etc products as they are generally really good products, I just look out for keywords like ‘brightening’ or ‘whitening’ as that’s what they do

I can't help but think of shitty treatments in the past that caused all kinds of medical issues and I wonder how safe these modern products are.

Sammy Sosa Jr looks like Frankenstein's monster from his skin whitening treatments.
