Originally to beauty and whitening, but because the use of "toxic" spot removing cream and tragic, CCTV ended the weekly quality report "column recently disclosed the Guangxi Nanning Yang teacher and Ms. Xie Hubei suffered two fake spot removing cream" poison "case. Both were mistakenly believed the advertisement of false publicity and devoured, Miss Yang as the lost beloved work, Ms. Xie in continuous use for more than a year after the spot cosmetics lead to mercury poisoning, triggered a nephrotic syndrome, life-threatening.

The culprit of all this is hidden in the spot removing cream — mercury toxic heavy metals. Mercury this belongs to the banned substances in cosmetics, do not allow people to add. However, due to the use of some of the production of cosmetics ingredients itself contains trace amounts of mercury, the national standards for mercury content clearly qualified, limited to 1mg/kg. Exceeding this limit may cause harm to the human body. Zhejiang quality engineering supervision Bureau on 200 batches of speckle-removing products for the detection of cosmetics, results 171 batch mercury, 115-million times, up to 9.3 million times. Our spot class beauty products annual sales exceeded 100 billion yuan, the huge market attracts some unscrupulous traders reset quality and honesty, and violation of production mercury spot cosmetics, even falsified relevant production license.    The survey found that "the US" and "spring is," and "gold leaf Aloe" and "clean" and "the characters on the spot", the value of these exquisite packaging expensive speckle-removing products actually exist mercury issue, for people who are accustomed to beauty, is a no-compromise "disfigurement of the unseen hand". "The beautiful" speckle-removing to blame Jiangsu market 【 typical 】 speckle-removing class beauty products-free market, in the case of the province are also available, the province's Association staff to reporters to produce such a case. On 16 July 2003, Ms. Jiang consumers come to huai'an city chuzhou quxiaoxie complaints, she in early July, from the Department of urban management Jiajie cosmetics buy a bottle marked by Harbin GE Li Dai ni cosmetics co., Ltd. production of "the beauty of rejuvenation in lightening milk", the price of 12 RMB/bottle.    Use a week after not fade spots on the face, but a number of inflammatory, facial, yellow water flow like rubbish put on face, to their physical, mental brought to healing wounds. Quxiaoxie admissible complaints, investigations, and immediately brought to the attention of health supervision departments conducting a site survey evidence. According to the Business Department Jiajie cosmetics distribution "by American huichun-lightening milk", belong to has not obtained the cosmetics production enterprise health license products. To this end, the district health supervision departments to business units make the administrative penalty. In early November, Ms. Jiang consumers been treated face has dramatically improved, under the auspices of the quxiaoxie mediating, pursuant to article 11 of the xiaofa, article 41 and the measures for implementing <消法> in Jiangsu Province "provided for in article 25, by operators to pay medical expenses, health care consumers jiangmou costs and working time costs amounted to $ 4100.    Comments: consumers look from the present case, first, the sales managers of cosmetics no approval number, in violation of the cosmetics health supervision Ordinance section 13; and second, the operators on the sales of cosmetics does not check the acceptance, in violation of the product quality law "provisions of section 33; and third, under the xiaofa law the provisions of article 10, where consumers are entitled to a quality security, chuzhou quxiaoxie law mediation, by operators on the consumer to pay compensation is reasonable and lawful. Informal channels speckle-removing products Maoni 【 market visit 】 reporters yesterday visited Nanjing of several major shopping centres and the Watson's and other chains, lightening products, including summer selling well in Sun protection products also have a lot of spot function is added. In addition to spot product brand class manufacturers, and other information, health permit, production permit, there is a special-purpose cosmetic approval number, which is the guardian of makeup-font size. Journalists saw several spot removing cream, raw material ingredients include Jesse fruit and components, mainly through these natural ingredients to serve to dilute the colour effect.    But as far as consumers reflect that in some small spot product on the packaging of information often, even the origin. According to Wei prison is located in Jiangsu province during the period immediately before the announcement of the 2005 provincial special cosmetics, inspected the cosmetics business units in 1770, selective cosmetic 5333 batches, 222, cosmetics enterprises identified do not meet the standard requirements of the cosmetics company has 37, including Shenzhen company production of certain varieties of hydroquinone cream 7 different batch of product mercury content seriously exceeded. According to experts, the market through the regular channels of whitening products of mercury content is generally less than 1mg/kg, in line with national standards.    While some informal channels of lightening "three free" product, a serious situation of mercury, even over 100 times over. Don't believe the speckle-removing products "absolute" commitment 【 expert bottom tearing 】 market various spot-removing products is there one?, Nanjing in the cosmetics industry to Miss yesterday revealed to reporters in private, some spot-removing products consumers to profiteering hoodwinked. In accordance with State regulations, sunscreen, whitening products must be subject to inspection and approval, there is a special-purpose of the approval number of cosmetics, otherwise can not be on sale. Some cosmetic companies to other varieties of cosmetics product counterfeiting as a spot to reduce cost, but this spot product effect is normal skin care products, or just joined the low cost of prohibited constituents, not the normal natural ingredients. Sometimes, the cost is only a few dollars of product profit can achieve more than hundred times.

From the price, she said, cosmetics own pricing includes a variety of factors, such as branding, promotional costs and material costs. General international brand price positioning is five $ 600 a bottle, second-line brand 200 Yuan, the more general domestic brand is $ 100, this is an industry practice. And four $ 50 a bottle of speckle-removing products, although a simple look at the prices you cannot determine the true and false and creditworthiness, but what is certain is that for his "× × days spot" commitment is best not to believe.

P > Miss Yu said, basically, cosmetics for skin just played a maintenance function, instead of treatment, because the skin is a dynamic environment, the cause of acne is complex, and ultraviolet radiation, endocrine disorders. Therefore the general international brands are less likely to say that "spot" but just saying "fade color spots." There is no absolute speckle-removing products, general product role are relative, so don't believe the absolute spot products.    If you are really in the number of days-and certainly the skin damage. Spot and not all cosmetics 【 tips 】 industry describes, in General, large shopping centres and other channels of beauty products relative norms, consumers should to formal channels to purchase regular brand. Notably to some street shop and beauty salon, cosmetics buy spot-removing products, the careful identification, see outer packaging is marked with the "special character" Wei makeup. Then you can visit the official website of the Ministry of health, enter the approval number, to know the product is true or false. Industry insiders to miss that, if you want to really play an ongoing role, or stain fading must rely on the long-term maintenance of the skin, use formal desalination splash products, rather than just relying on temporary use of the so-called "special products".

In addition, experts warned consumers not only of different colour, and formation mechanism of different treatment methods. As a comparison on such as Melasma snowflakes to approval by the national production of dispelling the cosmetics or pharmaceuticals gradually improve, desalination, birthmark, Pigmented Nevus, and other artifacts you need surgical removal by laser or means for treatment. Get rid of stain do not rely completely on cosmetics, different treatment of acne and needs.
