... no, it's not being made up ...
Busted for illegal sale of steroid ointments
THREE people have been convicted of selling illegal steroid creams from a town centre beauticians.
Hassan Akhtar, 49, Mubashir Akhtar, 25, and Nasira Akhtar, 46, sold the unlicensed items from Ace Afro Hair and Beauty in Brixton.
The creams are supposed to be used for the treatment of eczema and acne, but health bosses warned they are made from unlicensed chemicals.
The three,who are members of the same family - of Woodfield Avenue, Streatham - pleaded guilty at Inner London Crown last week to the illegal sale and supply of steroid creams.
They were arrested after trading standards officers and medicine regulators swooped on the shop in February.
Mubashir Akhtar and Ace Afro had previously been fined £14,000 plus costs in November 2005 for similar offences.
A huge stash of the creams was also found when trading standards raided an Ace Afro premises in Peckham in July 2004.
The Akhtars will be sentenced on October 25.

nothing these people do (to make money) surprises me. still, anyone stupid enough to buy these creams from them deserve for their skin to bubble up and peel off. these creams are meant to be able to bleach the skin and that is why some people buy them.
anyone with sense goes to their doctor for acne or ezcema treatments, or at least a reputable pharmacist... not their local asian trader.

Here's mine...Ignorant people buy Poison because they were to lazy to investigate the crap they were putting on themselves.... I mean really how long would it have taken people to just read the label or investigate the sourse of the Chemical.... Were we duped or were we gullible?

Why am I notsurprised?These people don't have any respect for us and frankly I wouldn't even buy a piece of granite from them let alone products that I'm actually going to put on my body. Black people just don't learn. What idiot actually goes to a beauty supplier, and an Asian one at that,tobuyproducts to treat eczema without first consulting a dermatologist?

I haven't noticed the acne and excema creams, but I definitely noticed some of the other creams sold in African hairshops. Definitely a problem that needs to be resolved, but not entirely sure if it will ever be...

Our muslim 'brothers' have selective hearing. But don't you dare accuse them of being arabised. That would shatter their delusion.
