Fawlty Removal Lotion

It's good to see that the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) has gotten tough with a Scottish skincare firm that was claiming to have a lotion that caused tattoos to dissapear in as little as twelve months. According to the Daily Record, the firm was making false claims that they had tested the product in two studies when in fact, they had not. False advertising aside, most tattoo removal creams are ineffective and in some cases dangerous - the ones that use the same sort of acid that topical wart removers do can cause permanent scarring as they "work" by taking the ink out while taking off thick layers of skin along with it.
