Recently, it was revealed that these whitening creams include include harmful and poisonous chemicals like hydroquinone and mercury which can cause organ failure and cancer.

While highlighting the harmful effect of skin whitening creams, Masarrat Misbah called upon the government to take an action against the manufacturers of such products, many of which contained potent steroids and high concentration of toxic metals.
