Product Overview
Fair & Handsome is Emami’s men’s face cream range and one of the best-known in South Asia. This is the Advanced variant in a 100gm tube, imported from the UAE.
As a product it is a men’s daily face moisturiser: it hydrates, it is formulated for thicker, oilier male facial skin, and it absorbs without leaving a shine. Those are its real merits and they are worth having.
About the Whitening Claim
This deserves saying plainly rather than being skated over.
No cream changes your natural skin colour. Melanin production is set by genetics and by sun exposure, and a topical cosmetic does not alter it. What creams in this category actually do is a combination of three things: they hydrate, which makes dull skin look brighter; they often contain a mild sunscreen, which prevents the further darkening that sun causes; and some contain ingredients that fade uneven patches and marks over weeks. That last effect is real but it evens out tone — it does not lighten you.
Two practical points follow from that. First, if you want visibly brighter, more even skin, daily sunscreen does more than any whitening cream, by a wide margin. Second, be wary of any product promising a dramatic change in weeks; some unregulated skin-lightening products contain mercury or high-strength steroids, both of which cause real and lasting harm.
Bought as a good men’s moisturiser that helps even out tone and protects against further darkening, this is a sound product. Bought as something that will change your complexion, it will disappoint.

How to Use
- Wash the face and pat it dry.
- Apply a pea-sized amount and massage it in until it disappears.
- Use twice daily, morning and evening.
- Use a separate sunscreen during the day. This is the step that actually protects tone.
- Avoid the eye area.
Patch Test First
Apply a small amount to the inner arm and leave it 24 hours before putting it on your face. Stop using it if the skin stings, reddens or breaks out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long before I see a difference?
Hydration and a brighter look are immediate. Any evening of tone takes four to eight weeks of daily use and is modest.
Can I use it under sunscreen?
Yes, and you should. Moisturiser first, let it settle, then sunscreen as the last step before leaving the house.
Is it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
It is formulated for men’s skin, which is generally oilier, but reactions vary. Patch test, and stop if it causes breakouts.
