Recently, many skin whitening creams have been legally imported but were found to contain banned substances and were forced to stop circulation. The latest batch of products White skin care – sunscreen SPF 50 – day cream (whitening cream, sunscreen) was concluded by the authorities that it did not meet the quality requirements for the limit of heavy metals in cosmetics (the norm). mercury), which contains clobetasol propionate, which is not permitted for use in cosmetics. Previously, Loptop product was found to contain clobetasol propionate – a substance that is not allowed to be used. Skin whitening cream X2, Pearl was also recalled because it did not meet quality standards. However, more worrying is the widespread sale of smuggled or homemade skin whitening products with vague product information and difficult to determine product origin. Smuggled and self-produced skin whitening creams are sold widely in the market. They have the common feature of no sub-labels and information in Vietnamese, unknown ingredients In Ho Chi Minh City, skin whitening cream is sold quite popularly at specialized wholesale and retail stalls of cosmetics in markets, with many types. In it, there are also those introduced as imported goods from Thailand such as “Kiss skin care White body SPF 45” priced at only 85,000 VND / box of 300g. The information on the product is all English and Thai, no Vietnamese sub-labels, no production date, expiry date, ingredients … How to use is guided by the seller: “Take a shower, apply moisturizer regularly. every day and the skin will be white after a week”. Kone skin whitening cream is also said by the seller that it is a portable product from Thailand, multi-functional, both facial care and skin whitening, priced at only 39,000 VND / box of 250g. Many other skin whitening creams are introduced as Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese products, but they also have no Vietnamese labels, no production date, and no expiration date. At the stalls, there are countless homemade and self-mixed skin whitening creams according to their own recipes. Due to the “own recipe”, no one knows the ingredients in this self-mixing cream, while the seller introduces all the current “hot” ingredients such as white transplant vitamins, collagen to remove dark spots. , white bath red ginseng… Due to the low price, many women still choose to buy these creams through the recommendation of acquaintances, even though the products are poorly packaged, without information or labels. The way to use these mixed creams is extremely simple, like “use the number 1 whitening bath pack first, then apply the number 2 lotion bottle every day; If you want to be quick, mix the two together and apply it all over your body.” On social networking sites, these products are promised by sellers to “whiten skin after 3-5 days of use”, the price of each cream box is only a few tens of thousands of dong. Skin care beware of harm to the body According to doctor (BS) Huynh Huy Hoang – former Vice President of Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Association – it is extremely dangerous that some strong skin whitening chemicals such as hydroquinone, mercury, and corticosteroids are also commonly used in creams. whiten skin, regardless of consumer health. Due to the risk of dangerous side effects, even skin cancer, hydroquine is banned in some European countries. Corticosteroids are “panacea” for instant beauty, but if used for a long time, they can cause skin atrophy, skin thinning, skin infections, acne, and redness. In particular, some skin whitening creams originating from China contain many toxins such as mercury and arsenic, which can be toxic to the liver and kidneys, and cause skin cancer if used for a long time. Exfoliating creams on the market with no labels, unknown origin or introduced imported from Thailand contain strong peeling ingredients such as salicylic acid, strong resorcinol, which can cause reactions. Immediate reactions such as redness, blistering of the skin, severe difficulty breathing, dehydration, can even cause death. According to Dr. Hoang, skin bleaching is mainly to reduce or destroy the melanin pigment that has formed and developed in the skin, ie trying to destroy the ugly protective layer of the skin and replace it with the white young skin underneath. The skin will temporarily whiten for a few weeks, then the body will find a way to react by producing more melanin to protect the skin, so the skin will be darker. Weakened skin can be more susceptible to abrasions, bleeding under the skin due to rubbing that breaks the small blood vessels under the skin. “The use of skin whitening cream of unknown origin, quality or skin whitening cream containing corticosteroids and heavy metals is very dangerous because harmful effects may appear after a period of use, so it is difficult to determine due to the substance. what caused. The authorities have not been able to thoroughly manage the ingredients and quality of unregistered whitening agents and skin whitening creams. Consumers should choose to buy skin-whitening products with reputable brands, and avoid buying “floating” products on the market. If you have a skin reaction when bleaching, you need to stop using the product immediately and go to a dermatologist for treatment,” – Dr. Hoang recommended. According to Dr. Le Ngoc Diep – Head of Dermatology Clinic, Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital – most of the products advertised for skin whitening contain corticosteroids. On average, every day, Dr. Diep receives 2-3 cases of medical examination in the condition of thin skin, dilated capillaries, inflammation, redness, swelling, itching caused by mixing cream, skin whitening cream containing corticosteroids. Most patients bought the cream through the recommendation of an acquaintance and did not know that they had used a cream containing corticosteroids. Dr. Diep said that it is absolutely not recommended to use skin whitening creams containing corticosteroids, “floating” skin creams, especially mixing creams and handmade creams. 100% of skin creams advertised as “fast whitening effect” contain corticosteroids and may contain heavy metals or other banned substances, which are very harmful to the body.
