My experience with it:

I love it!! I was actually on the fence about buying it because usually these 'fairness' and 'glow' creams don't work and turn out to be awful products. But I gave into the ads and it's packaging and just bought it. I'm so glad I did. (By the way,  this one's from 'Philippines')
At first when you apply it, it gives you a white but matte & clean look. Like you would with other cosmetic creams (e.g. Fair & Lovely.)  But don't worry if you don't like the fake-whitening effect cause it goes away after a little while. It seems kind of heavy when you take it out but it's not. It doesn't feel heavy on my face even though I have oily skin. After using it for over a week, I noticed a difference. First of all, the oil control was awesome!! Not only when I have it on but even when I don't. Also, its claim to reduce dark spots and perfecting skin tone, I would say, is spot on. Yes, I noticed the difference.

Pros:

1. The packaging!!!! (No, I'm not shallow. I don't only buy the products because of their packaging. I actually researched about this product before I bought but you've gotta admit the packaging alone should be enough to convince you ;) lol )
2. Awesome oil-control and matte look.
3. Effectiveness. Actually does what it claims to a large extent.
4. The smell. That rosy kind of creamy smell. (This one depends on person to person, though)
5. The texture. I mean, it's PINK!! Lol.
6. Doesn't break you out. Score!!

Cons:

1. I don't believe there are any cons. But just for the sake of it, I guess the price. But you know, it wouldn't be fair to a product this good to be cheaper than this!

(And yes, I don't count the 'jar' packaging a con, some people would. But I always use a clean Cotton-bud to take it out.)

So I would definitely recommend it!!

It's available at Naheed Super Market for 875 Pkr (50 g) [Almost double than its actual price listed below].
It costs 249 PHP in Philippines.
I don't think it's available in the US but if it is; it's really hard to find.
