Are we looking for the most-widely cited claims, or are we looking for an accurate translation. While adverts will promise to make you look gorgeous, that is stretching the meaning of the term. Eddie's suggestion is the most precise; mine is accurate, but a bit more 'effusive', while Diana's is IMHO a reach too far. Advertising doesn't give too much credence to accuracy, but we translators ought to. "makes skin look gorgeous" would IMHO be more along the lines of "membuat kulit tampak sangat cantik"

Duel @ Google skin look gorgeous - 235.000 hits
skin lovely to look at - 10.100 hits
skin pleasing to the eye - 1.360 hits

Varian (contoh saja):
skin look lovely - 77.500 hits
skin look exquisite - 21.100 hits.

Sekarang, berpulang ke iklannya. Apakah ingin memakai bahasa tersering terdengar (agar cepat nyambung dengan pelanggan) ataukah ingin keluar pakem (agar lebih berkesan beda/istimewa)? Atau di tengah-tengah (tidak terlalu banyak digunakan tetapi juga tidak unik-unik amat)?

lovely to look at

'sedap dipandang' means 'nice/pleasant to look at', but not necessarily 'gorgeous'. I think 'lovely to look at' might be a bit more conservative advertising claim, yet still convey the message that the cream will improve your looks. (Ah, if only! I have a whole drawer full of such creams, but so far, they're not working!)
Example sentence:

Pakai blus model baru supaya kamu sedap dipandang. Please wear a blouse of new fashion so that you are pleasant to look at.
