Pearl Cream

Maybe I'm just giggly today and that's why I was laughing about the whole gas station thing.

Over the weekend, I was enlightened as to the effects of pearl cream. Apparently my aunt brought it back from China for my grandmother and there have been amazing results. I initially googled the product name, "pearl repair and reporn cream," but there were no results. (I guess no one else wants "reporn cream" either.) But after googling "pearl cream," I found out all sorts of things.

It seems like it is supposed to be really good for clearing up skin conditions and making your skin smooth. That is what I need, considering the bar aggravation of my skin has not fully gone away yet. Maybe I'll pick some up in Hong Kong and see how it works.

But I also found some really funny things. (I'm not really making fun, because goodness knows, my Chinese is far worse than their English. But I just find the word choices amusing.)

According to this site, pearl cream prevents the skin from becoming "chapped and senile." That site also offers a product called "women's maintenance formula for appearance."

Then I found another site which has pearl cream but also offers placenta cream. This, 2 days later, is still making me laugh. The first ingredient is "placenta tissue fluid." But after googling placenta cream today, it seems like this is a pretty big thing in NZ and it's all about sheep placenta. Hmm. I think I'm more comfortable with pearl powder than sheep placenta.

I also found another product called "Reproducer Cap." At first, I didn't know what it was for, but then realized cap is short for capsules. I guess it makes more sense then? Before, I wasn't sure if it was some sort of thing where they were claiming it increases reproduction ability. Sort of like all the spam here.

Ooh, they make ginseng placenta cream too. Haha. This placenta thing is too much for me!

Alright, enough googling of pearl cream. I'm intrigued by it, and I definitely want to try it. Going to go work more on my packing list and then try to sleep.
