It's a very weird for the advert to change the skin colour of the people half way because if anything, it doesn't show the product making batter the SAME SKIN. So from a marketing POV it's really a bizarre decision. Show cracked skin and then smooth skin but make the person the same skin colour so it looks like it's healed the same person...

Also, I might be being stupid, but I've never heard any negative stereotype of black skin being prone to issues around smoothness - quite the opposite - that black skin is super smooth and ages wonderfully, so I'm not sure that this advert can upload a stereotype that doesn't exist unless I've missed it?

It's just odd imo.

I feel like some people do just look for any reason to complain.

I mean if we over-analyze any piece of media we could probably turn it into some sort of Prejudicial argument, or Political in some way.

I can't imagine how those two people must live their lives if they are spending it complaining about a Shower Gel Advert.

I hadn't heard of the negative stereotype either tbh.

Black skin has less fat under it than white, hence the whole swimming thing so it is prone to dryness I believe

But let's not get facts involved

Lol

…yeah black/brown skin ages wonderfully, doesn’t it…the sun is obviously such an aging thing for skin which makes for the higher melanin content skin being far more protected, so a slower aging process in general…it’s a bazaar ad, btw…
