Popular Acne Treatments Actually Harm The Skin
As consumers, we seldom feel that any product that we use will actually be the source of additional problems in our skin, unless we have an allergy. It is not normal to think that with the FDA and a competitive marketplace we would be presented with harmful products, especially in this day and age, but that is exactly what one acne cream company has done. A leading acne cream company, one that you are very familiar with, uses active ingredients known to cause long term damage to the skin, ingredients so harmful that even the FDA is conducting the test needed to stop consumers from using this ingredient all together. The author examines this acne cream company, the ingredient it uses and just what consumers can do to protect themselves from companies who choose to prioritize profits over the well being of their consumers.
Now you may be wondering just what company would do such a thing, and the answer is that many acne creams use this active ingredient will full knowledge of the damage it can do to the skin. This ingredient causes tumors in the skin and actually generates free radicals within your skin cells causing serious premature aging. Any company that uses this active ingredient is required by the FDA to publish the concerns to consumers on the label of the product. While many of the products that use this active ingredient are sold in most retail locations across the country, there are a few companies who’s volumes of sales is so concerning that experts have begun to publicly speak out against this company for poor morality. If you are required to publish the damage your products will do to the skin, you are fully aware of the problem, you should not exploit consumer ignorance, and one company just takes this too far.
Have you ever seen a commercial where the latest youthful celebrity or recently matured celebrity comes on the screen telling their tale of battling acne and how this particular product changed their lives. While most of us know better than to actually believe that a celebrity used such products and that the manufacturer is simply paying for the endorsement, that type of misleading advertising seems acceptable when you consider the alternative. But this celebrity endorsed acne system uses Benzoyl Peroxide, an active ingredient that has proven in clinical studies and studies performed by the FDA to cause the development of tumors within the skin. The FDA has known this for almost 15 years and has forced acne cream companies to disclose these facts to consumers.
But when consumers see celebrities claiming to use an acne cream, they actually believe that it helped save their career. They do not take the time to research the product, or investigate the FDA approval of the active ingredients used. Consumers simply want to treat their acne with what Jessica Simpson used or what Alyssa Milano wiped away her acne with. And this company knows it. They know that in the long run, the FDA will not allow the continued use of this ingredient, and as a result they are trying to make as much profit as they can before it all falls apart. While no one is saying that a company should not make money, or that taking advantage of the last few gasps of profit while they last is wrong. But there should be some level of professional courtesy extended to consumers. After all, it is consumers who are seeking out the treatments, it is consumers who are trusting companies to provide them with quality and effective products, and that trust should not be betrayed.
