AMBI

Using an instant turnoff, AMBI claims to be for “women of color.” Yes, there is a difference between the hair, skin, etc. in women of different colors. But there are also women of the same race who have sensitive skin, oily skin, dry skin, tough skin, wrinkled skin, etc. In some ways, women of the same race vary more than those of different races in theory. It is, in a way, only aggravating this idea that people who are not white should expect different treatments, whether it be for something as basic as skincare or something as serious as heart palpitations. That aside, AMBI may very well have some valid ingredients and components to their formula.

Product Details:

The closest thing we found to wrinkle creams in the AMBI line were fade creams. The only active ingredients are hydroquinone 2%, and octinoxate 2%. In essence, hydroquinone is used as a skin whitening agent, and octinoxate is used as a sunscreen to protect whitened skin. For those in certain Asian countries, this is an appealing alternative, because white skin is looked on as a sign of rich class. But for the women AMBI describes, is this really an appealing item, or should it be? Aside from that, there are no active wrinkle fighting or age fighting ingredients. The whitening agent could potentially dry out skin and cause an increased rate of aging instead of slowing it.

Overall Impression of AMBI:

AMBI is largely a company that relies on stereotypes and mistaken impressions of the common population. They use no really useful active skincare ingredients, and their active ingredients may actually accelerate the process of aging and damage the skin, perhaps beyond repair at some point. If you have any questions about our impression of AMBI, we don’t like it. We don’t like anything about it, and it’s really not worth you wasting your money.
