Mercury is a very common component of these products and since they are not regulated by the FDA as strictly as medication, they can induce serious side-effects and even death. Mercury is a very potent element that is so easily absorbed by the skin it can cause immediate health problems.

Steroids are also quite prevalent in skin care products which can belay diagnosis of many skin problems that shows more serious health issues internally. Steroids are very harmful for they can mess up the body’s natural hormonal balance which can be seen on the many health risks we see regarding the use of such products.
