When it comes to buying skincare products, don't believe all the hype you read online because some might just turn out to be DEADLY!
Recently, the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Division (NPRA) of the Health Ministry made a shocking discovery on the following Malaysia-based "cosmetic" products:
- BL Skincare Day Cream 1
- Biela Beauty Glowing Night Cream
- BL Skincare Day Cream 2
- BL Skincare Night Cream
As noted by the Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, each of these were found laden with lethal subtances namely mercury, hydroquinone and tretinoin- all of which can result in numerous life-threatening effects!
Exposure to these hazardous contents not only contribute to skin cancer, but even kidney failure and nervous dysfunction.
The awful discovery has since prompted the BAN of each products from being manufactured and sold nationwide, effective immediately.
