The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has been informed that the Malaysian National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) has banned the use of BB Glow Soul Cream. The product was found to contain hydroquinone and tretinoin which are injurious to health, and can cause redness to skin, hypersensitive skin as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.
Hydroquinone causes redness of the skin, discomfort, unwanted skin changes, the skin becomes hypersensitive, can prevent pigmentation (depigmentation) which reduces skin protection against harmful UV rays and may increase the risk of skin cancer.
The use of tretinoin without the supervision of health professionals can cause the skin to be reddish, uncomfortable, painful, peeling and hypersensitive to sunlight.
