FDA CAUTIONS AGAINST BRAND OTC PRODUCTS FOR ACNE

FDA has warned against use of many over the counter (OTC) products which claim to treat acne and similar skin disorders.  It has expressed concern that such OTC products can cause “rare but serious and potentially life threatening” allergic reactions, or severe irritation. These products are being marketed by big companies under various brand names such as “ProActive”, “Neutrogena”, “Max Clarity”, “Oxy”, Ambi”, “Aveeno” and “Clean and Clear”.  FDA has warned that these products are sold as gels, lotions, face wash, solutions, cleansing pads, face scrubs and by other names. FDA says it is continuing to monitor and evaluate this safety issue and will be working with the manufacturers for possible changes in the labels of such products so that consumers are protected from potential risks.  Healthcare professionals have also been advised to stop using these products and seek quick medical attention if consumers experience any hyper sensitivity reactions like swelling of the face, eyes, lips and other parts. In order to capture of the growing acne products market, big companies have begun to focus their marketing efforts on such products. The global market for acne products is estimated to reach $ 3.02 billion by 2016. Dr. Paul Mouser, of Ashland, has observed “consumers are forever seeking to perfect the look of their skin, but so many have to struggle with acne on a daily basis. Over 90% of the population will at some time during their lives be affected by it.”
