  • because dark is very beautiful, just like paler skin tones are to some people. more just perfer the darker complexion and so do i.

  • White has been in for thousands of years. I see you slow at keeping up with the news....

  • @happygamestvfun1

    No it has'nt. Many have been pulling AWAY from white skin tones. Thats why the majority, especially in the states, crave a darker complexion. Tanning shops are in almost every city across the country.

  • @AllanAngela09 In recent news: Africa now makes their theeth go black becuase it is the new style, so america do away with your tooth brushes and whitning products, black is the new black!

  • WHITE skin has ALWAYS been treasured in MANY parts of the world because it WAs a sign of WEALTH and PRIVILEDGE as you did not have to work in the fields like everyone else and get turned into shoe leather over the course of time. Thats all. It has nothing to do with wanting to be anglo or caucasian. Same thing in this country..why do u think women had PARASOLS? to keeo their skin as fair as possible...only poor girls worked in the field...duh!

  • wrong wrong

    they not trying to look like white people.

    this has been going on way before white people have been in asia

    paler skin has always been considered upper class. because nobles never have to be out in the sun doing hard labor.

     because if you're tan, you're more likely seen as a second class citizen like a farmer or something

    just my general knowledge. im not an expert.

    To all the other comments!!!!!

    all the asian countries must be like "OMG WHY DO AMERICANS WANT TO BE DARK?!" lol...

  • @shawn00 Americans don't want to be dark. Fag filled California is not America.

  • funny how they like pale skin their and we like tan skin here maybe i should move to china huh?

  • Lolz that's a bit.. too pale xD; BUT!! I'm asian n I think pale is pretty? lolz well the skin color you're born with is beautiful. For me, I was born lighter but during my middleschool age I went swimming almost everday n my skin color changed dramatically lolz to be honest I just want to look my ethnicity again xD; but I can't find a way to get back to pale.. :/

  • why is china, japan, north/south korea so obsessed with light skin??

    i'm half Japanese and Dominican and i have olive complexion like jessica alba and i don't fight everyday to make it lighter!! actually the asians that go to my school beg me to tell them how i get my tanish skin tone.. i tell them it's genetics but they think i go to a tan salon >.> BE PROUD OF YOUR SKIN COLOR!!!

  • Who the 4uck wanna be pale? These ppl's skin look like 4ucking cadavers. Disgusting.

  • i know this might sound contreversial but i think i need some of this stuff.. what is it called?

  • @uraharafkedme if you found out whats its called, TEL ME,TOO :D :D i need those stuff, too

  • We have this in America too, it's called makeup and good lighting...

    Bleaching ur skin and laying in tanning beds all day are all bad for ur skin. Love the skin ur in jeez.....

  • Pale and homely

  • They look pale and homely!

  • wow, india and china r da places to go if u want some real potent stuff... LOL, oh dont forget a quick trip to japan to bag some of this priceless merchandise!!! ... hmmm theres an idea...

  • What are they using?

    What website would I be able to find and purchase that?

  • whats the name of that product/

  • but.... most east asians such as korea, japan and china have white skin anyway. what is the point with this XD

  • omg, i'm asian and naturally white, it doesn't mean that all white asians bleach their skin lol.

  • i've seen this commercal while i lived in china.. this commercial is NOT true

    most things sold on t.v. in china don't work..

    if it worked so well and sold for such a low price, evryone in china would have ivory white skin like in the commrcial :P

  • talking about skin "color", most Chinese born white or almost white.

    White skill is considered as undamaged skin. That's the reason they want to be white! not because they want to be white people

  • whats the name please??

  • what was the website at the bottom of the add?

  • where can i get this ?

  • whites set these standards and u are going along with this shit. they tell themselves that they skin is superior when the evidence point otherwise. white control the media what do expect to see darker people as better ni. free your mind people

  • the funny thing is that its usually black people who post or comment on these kind of videos/products. i guess it makes then feel like they aren't the only ones who don't like themselves because people wear fake hair, only have light

    'skinddeddddd" people in their videos/movies, always complain about ghetto/BET and all that other shit. dam just accept your self and you aren't really solving the problem by saying the whole world is trying to be white(which is false).

  • you are just allowing the white people to rule you and continue their racism. thats the reason no one wants to associate themselves with black people. and why is it that black people always complain about rap music, BET, weaves & relaxers, black men dating white women, black people not owning bussinesses, crime by blacks, babby mommas and all types of crap.

    stop complaining. shit just accept that every group has flaws. and try fix the flaws. ex. If BET is bad, make another station.

  • if people wear weaves and use relaxers then find a better solution to the making hair more managable. if there is crime, then support police in arresting criminals si they don't affect the normal folk. if there is less education, then promote education by setting up scholarships and stuff from CHURCHes.

    black people also complain about churches taking their money. then become athiest. shit why the fuck is there so much nagging. you can do thigs now, slavery is over. stop talking and take action

  • How do I buy this product?

  • OMG asians aren't trying to be white. Most asians are natrally pale. My sis is only 4 and she is more way more plae that that stupid bleached girl anyways...and no she does NOT bleach her skin u.u

  • theres nothin 2 hate abt this if youll feel better then go on!!! wats the skin product

  • I'm Asian, and the reason why ASIAN want to have white skin, it's because it means (in Asia.. duh~ T_T), that you're not poor and etc. And if people don't understand why asian girl (or boy) want to have white skin and have product for it, then why don't you think: Why somes people want to be tanned and have "brown" skin? xD, and use Tanning salon (that's very harmful)?

  • i just wanna know what the product is ppl ! xD

  • I know right!

  • Why are there so many angry people on you tube!!!?? Everyones ( a lot of people) always making rude comments to one another, lifes too short-live it up!

  • what product is that??? :D

  • what product is that? :)

  • demm motha fukka'sz gonna die yo..|!!!|

  • ahh aesthetics... we all have different perspectives.

  • dang, let me have some of dat!!!!

  • you're so bored and discussing about a single simple issue complicatedly..

    i think you should be more liberal.

    people have different ideas about BEAUTY. some believe natural is beautiful, some believe white is beautiful... it doesn't matter at all.

    how can you relate this video to racism. . i can't understand.

    and it's just an ad. it's not what chinese real thought about being white and beautiful.

  • you cant be a model in China if your dark skinned, you have to be white... just... white. but tbh, it really doesnt matter, if they chose to be white or black or tanned or whatev its their bussiness. i dont get why its a surprise to you, or why it even concerns you much.

  • This is normal in Asia - From china down to Pakistan. They want to be caucassian

    Chinesse - Japs - koreas - are ashamed of their identity they bleach their skin white and have eyelid surgery to make them more white.

    How pathetic!

  • No, you're quite stupid.

    It's not that they desire to be Caucasian. According to traditional Asian traditions, fair-skin colors represent wealth because they are rich enough to be able to stay out of the sun, versus the more poor who must stay out working all day long, thus resulting in a tan.

    What about Caucasians who spend so much money to tan. They want to alter their appearance.

    Pale complexions for Asians represent wealth whereas tan skin represents health for Caucasians.

  • Dont be silly! How does Tan skin represent wealth to white people! All this talk about lighter skin meaing wealthfor Asians is so outdated! Give me a break!!

    Oh pls explain why Asians bleach their skin, change their eyes, dye their hair and make their nose narrower to be like white people?

    They want to be white full stop!

  • I said HEALTH.

    Read muthafucka, READ correctly.

    Just because it's "outdated" to you doesn't mean it's outdated for them. They STILL KEEP their beliefs and still continue to follow the traditions they've followed for YEARS.

    They don't exactly follow with the latest trends of breast sizes, hair styles, or the latest lip plump, or vaginal rejuvenation products. It's a cultural thing, just like how every other country has their own cultural tradition they follow.

  • Oh so just because its cultural makes it right? Stop trying to justify it. You should condemn this self hatred. I guess you love the white skin, bigger eyelids, thinnner nose look too. Western media have screwed so many Asians up they want to be white.

    Represnt girl!!

  • @teewoods fuuuck you that shit aint true bitch

  • @jayrcuh562

    lol! You know jack! You ist down there in USA being ignorant! You dont know shit about what really goes on in Asia, just another American Asian being ignorant

  • i saw this it isnt bleach just makes it "healthier" with "nutrients"

  • @yao1994 what is it? where can i get it?

  • @jayrcuh562

    how come no one's telling us what they're using and where we can get it? Why are people so racist? Can't they just answer our damn quesitons?!

  • @cherrychapstick7 really tho right,

  • thats strange chinese are the lightest skin in the world

    they r lighter than german or swedish

    i mean they r usually ivory skin like a doll so i dont understand this ad

  • lol we tan alot easier too. its mainly people who have worked outdoors and have tanned that wanna lighten their skin

  • Well technically "Chinese" isn't really a race, there's "enough" historical evidence that there were multiple races with slightly different skin color/facial bone structure existing in ancient China and that interracial breeding became common after the Qin dynasty

    then there's the mongol invasion... the skin color of modern Chinese really varies, some are brown while others lighter than Caucasian/Slavic

  • why would you want to have white skin.

    im white and i always tan..'white is out..

    pale makes you look like you have some fucking medical problems ,,..

    tan !!

  • its a cultural thing. white people want tan skin, but chinese want white skin. i am chinese and i have quite dark skin and i would like to have lighter skin for a change! pale doesnt necessarily make you look like u got medical problems anyway. i could say the same to you if you tried to tan and had an ugly tan colour, moles, and sunburn marks

  • its up to a person what colour they want their skin to be. all you are doing is forcing ur opinion toward others. i bet ur just a miserable person who just wants to look good but cant.

    yes i am proud to have tan skin so i dont get sunburnt but i would like to see what having white skin is like. however, chinese white skin is different to the tone and shade of white white ppl have.

    i have read some comments on ur page and iut seems that not many ppl like you...

    i never wantd to b white neway

  • I'm white but I tan really easily. I like being pale so winter is good for me. But in the summer when I get dark I don't like it, I look weird and my makeup doesn't look as nice because I like to wear light shades. And if you tan too much you can get skin cancer and who wnats that? Cancer is out and healthy is in. Atleast for me.

  • I don't bleach my skin I just said I like being pale rather than being tan. And I'm not Asian but I have nothing against them. I love every race and I think everyone is beautiful. You are just disgusting with your hate and racism.

  • Very well said!

  • perfect!!

  • The stupid fucking american girls and their tanning booths oughtta be deported too, according to your idea.

  • shut up u stupid batsrd ass asians wanting to come to MY country bitch

  • America is NOT a white country

  • shut up bitch u stupid asians should be going to hell with ur dumb ass beliefs and ur stupid skin bleaching no good ass.

    fuck u ..

    thats why china and japan make Americas stuff cuz without America ur ass would be unemployed.

    how bout them apples??!!

  • Hurrr America is da greatest bcuz it pays 5 cents an hour for poor chinese kids to work themselves to death derp.

  • okay well stop trying to justify your stupid chinese shit

    okay and america is the best country

    and if it wasnt to your over spilling population growth we wouldnt have to pay you that.

    and so you can thank your lucky stars.

    (the dumb asians that cant afford shiet)

  • why dont you shut the fuck up, you racist bastard, if american was so great why does every country hate america, because of you mother fuckin racist people

  • WTF !

    if we have stupid product for skin bleahcing, than how about your Tanning salon?? O_ô If you AMERICAIN were that smart, than why don't you go outside and be tanned for free?

    Men, you are a REAL RACIST MOTHER FUCKER.

  • HAHAHA, first, i dont bleach my skin Duh~

    and if you say that person don't like themself if the bleach themself then what about people who go to the tanning salon?? hahahaha,

    And you say that tanning salon don't damage yourself in long term??hahah, yess in long term, because YOU can tann by yourself at the sun. And YOU are too stupid too put sun protection. (:

  • hahaha, don't trust me, if i say that i dont xD

    Products for bleaching skin are shit :P, and i know that, i'm not that stupid, (like someone here~ )

    Then how about the point that u said that "WE" (because you put everybody in your shoes ^^) have low confidence thant that's why some people do that to please other?

    People who tann theirself do i t for who? HOOO!!!! MAYBE!!! i just said MAYBEE that they have too loww confidence, so they care bout what others think? (:

  • damn, you don't have arguments thats why you just keep insulting people?

    Try to say somethings inteligent.

  • tell your fucking american companies to get out of China and Japan. That's the only reason stupid america is making money

  • This is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this commercial is really weird.

  • l-glutathione pills make your skin whiter

  • stop lieing you do not have natural white skin

  • what do you mean?

  • stfu

  • Poor quality video. What the heck is it saying?

  • well some timez skins get burnt and darken coze of excessive exposure to sun in this case ppl have their right to whiten their skin as been before......

  • people use tanning lotion all the time, so how is this any different? again, NOT A BIG DEAL

  • chinese have natural lighter skin

  • That's awesome but where do they sell it? I just read the book Twilight and I want my skin as pale as possible.

  • Naturally Chinese skin is in white complexion since they were born but when they exposed to sun too long, they get tanned easily and take longer times to get back their original skin color. You can see the different when you compare their hide area skin such as below armpit (white) and the exposed skin (tanned). Totally two different color. Therefore to make it glow, they just need to bleach it or use sunblock lotion.. whatever.

  • I love being pasty.

  • I'm white.

  • I was gonna say...most chinese ppl i know are the same skin color as whites...

    Why do they need bleach???

  • LOVELYSiT -

    yet whites like to look orange. how about that...that's not even a natural skin color for any race in this world

  • aliens?

  • we are what we are. live with it.

  • whatever floats the boat. whites like to tan and tans like to bleach. that doesn't necessarily mean its racism or anything. i think its about time we call a truce on this subject.

  • why do whites have a problem with it when other races whiten their skin?? whites also tan their skin and whitening and tanning is the same thing to me so just shut up lovelyslt

  • as a white girl i can say

    some chinese women are as fair as some russians (pink skin) naturally

    even white ppl dont have this skin tone

    so stop saying they do that to be white

    i just think this makes them feel better

  • lol as a chinese girl,

    i'd have to say i prefer the peachy cream complexion.

    when you get to dark it doesn't look as attractive and it's not as healthy.

    so staying a lighter complexion is not only healthy but it gives off a pretty sensible glow.

    and no..we're not trying to be white haha.

  • So what are you saying? I guess other races with brown skin ( indian/black/some latinas) must be ugly in your sight. All skin shades are beautiful.

  • She's not saying other races are ugly. She's talking about her own complexion. That is a almost like a fare skin tone to where if exposed to too much sun it is unhealthy and not attractive(but, that's her opinion). Dark skinned races are beautiful.

  • I think I understand what animereborn means. I would say most East Asian people have yellow skin tones, but there are some that have white skin tones--I have two Chinese friends that have skin color whiter than most Caucasians I know. I have a yellow skin tone, and unlike Caucasians, when my skin tans too much, it turns a sickly shade of yellowish-brown. o; I assume my skin color would more natural if it was very dark or a bit lighter than that. (I hope no one takes offense from this post.)

  • It looks the commercial is pitch a product that get out tan lines, but rather than making them all dark, it turns them all white. The solution is of course: don't where any cloth during the summer (for girls), cloth = tan lines.

  • whoah there. no i'm not saying other races with brown skin are ugly. i'm saying i don't look good with dark skin. what are you talking about, indian/black/latinos are really hott. i couldn't pull of having dark skin like them and still look good is what im saying. so im sorry if i offended? lol.

  • Look if people want to bleah their skin sooo WHAT!! It is the same as TANING!!! both have risks it's not a race isue!!!

  • of course I know that if somebody wants to that they have to consider putting yourself in a higher risks,you have to protect your body all the time and you can't stay at places with lot of SUn.

  • I am of Chinese decent and it really pissed me off why those chinese wanna look like Europeans i.e want lighter skin, sharper nose, wider eyes and blonde hair. Stupid retards who are not proud of themselves and their own culture

  • hey, wherd ya find this?? an howd they do that whas the product called where can u even buy it plz let me knoe

  • did you ever find out what the product was called?

  • YEAHHHHH ME TOO

    I don't know why people think is stupid,u want it u get it and if u have to survive with somebody who decided to that wether if it has to do with culture or not,DEAL with it. SOme peopl WANT TO BEDARK SKINNED WHICH IS REALLR GOOD LOOKING TOO AND SOME OTHERS WANT TO BE WHITE AS THE MOON. the world's full of people and different tastes. If u don't think the same ,then fuck you!!!!

  • The North Chinese have very beautiful, radiant light skin because the climate there enables them to. It's still curious though that there aren't lightening adverts like this for the South Europeans who also have brown skin

  • because not everyone is as stupid to think that only fair skinned people are beautiful

  • no one of our chinese will buy it, stupid ad

  • its just like people who like getting a tan, asian people like being whiter. there is no racism involved, its just like saying why wear lipstick for, are u being racist to ur lips natural skincolour LOL of course not

  • are they crazy? i can't believe people buy things like this, that is a big influence 4 racism 'round the world...that's a shame!

  • it has nothin to do with racism. im an asian girl and i would love to have white skin like that, us asian grls look at white skin differently, its a cultural sort of thing. we look at white skin as a graceful, pure, and elegant apperance

  • you guys do know that the melanin that make your skin dark, is for protection from the U.V. radiation from the sun.

    so if these idiots want to bleach their skin let them, only darker people will survive with the ozone going and global warming. survival of the fittest

  • LOL! I guess black people will be the first and the last.

  • you are sad!

  • can that product be purchased here?

  • No one seems to be happy with how they look these days...

  • i know guy; shit!

  • No matter how hard the chinese try they will never look like a westerner they will always have slanted eyes, black eyes and black hair. plus don't they know that many western countries are trying to get tan.

  • The chinese aren't trying to look like white people, but like a lot of the asian female celebrities who are 100lbs, 5'7, fair skinned, long straight dark hair, etc. The average white american female doesn't even meet those standards, much less their own which is blonde, busty, tanned, blue eyed Pamela Anderson types.

  • 5'7 and 100lbs?

  • Err, more like

    Westerners - white

    Chinese - YELLOW

  • yeah your right

    Chinese are-yellow

    and westerners-white.

  • Naturally chinese skin is getting whiter. Euporean are pinkish and some are white. Micheal jackson is a good example.

  • I have no problem with people putting stuff on themselves if it makes them feel better about themselves. I mean around here, females dye their hair just because or when the first sighs of white hair appears (I have white hair on the sides so I dye my hair). I have a problem with hypocrites, who think it's ok to buy oil of olay to get rid of wrinkles, but get upset over creams that get rid of discoloration on ones skin. BS I say. People ought to do what they want. Fuck everyone else.

  • There is a difference between getting rid of spots and getting rid of your natural skin color.

  • Most chinese worship white people and habour intense resentment againt brown and black people.

  • what is it about brown and black people the Chinese resent?

  • no really pale skin is the nicest.

  • She makes u feel insecure, more like

  • dark people want to whiten thier skin, white people want tans. Doesn't anyone realize the problems?

  • they look sick. That couldnt do good for there skin. But i guess its an edgier look and pale is more "interesting" i guess. They look pretty after. But i think its a LITTLE TOO WHITE. I mean they want to have white skin, but that is like extreme white. There isnt even any pink or anything, and im sure that contains hydroquinone which will damamge their skin greatly.

  • Maybe the Chinese should be taught that their skin is brown for a reason - to protect them from skin cancer in their sunny climate.

  • Right. Lack of melanin puts you at higher risk for cancer not to mention the carcinogens in those bleaching products. The FDA has been working to have OTC bleaching products banned for this very reason.

  • wow that is sad( look up the first dynasty of china and discover who they look ) yoou might be surprised

  • what did they look like?

  • Actually Americans tan themselves to skin cancer so they aren't a good example either... But I do agree it's dangerous...

    I guess everyone just wants things that they can't have despite of all the consequences...
