Are you aware that most acne treatments on the market today could potentially kill you?
Yes, even ones which are “FDA approved” could contain ingredients that are harmful to your health.
Most companies out there (especially name brand ones) fill their products with toxins and poisons to lather up on the largest organ of your body: Your skin!
It’s extremely important to be careful of what you put on your skin, because your skin absorbs it, and it goes into your bloodstream, which then starts circulating all through your body.
Although instant death is rare, many of the chemicals and ingredients found in facial scrubs, washes, cosmetics, and acne treatment products are known to cause a number of health problems. Almost all are known to be carcinogenic (cancer causing) and others are often associated with heavy metal toxicity or can cause lung and asthma problems, as well as a number of neurological and reproductive disorders as well.
