How to spot a whitening face cream - a whitening cream mixed with steroids​

Dangers of creams containing steroids​
1. Steroids are illegal substances if used without permission from a doctor. If used improperly as an ingredient in creams, it may cause the user's skin to become thinner and more sensitive to sunlight.​
​
2. If used continuously for a long time, it may cause the blood vessels under the skin to rupture easily, causing stretch marks and causing chronic acne that is difficult to treat.​
But how can we tell which creams may contain steroids, which are the cause of deep wrinkles and acne that is difficult to treat? Let's take a look.​
​
1. The product must clearly state the following information:​
Cosmetic name and trade name​
Name and location of the manufacturer, if produced domestically, Name and location of the importer, and the name of the manufacturer and country of manufacture, if imported​
Quantity, how to use, recommendations, warnings, month and year of manufacture and expiration, batch number or letter, and the names of all substances used as ingredients in the production, and other text to protect the interests of consumers, such as the notification number, which is a 10-digit number​
(xx-x-xxxxxxx)​
​
2. There must be no advertising or text that may cause misunderstanding of the essence of the cosmetic and must not use text that is against morality. Or the good culture of Thailand​
​
3. The cream must not separate into layers when left for some time.​

​4. The cream must not change color in a short period, such as 1-3 months after purchase, such as changing from white to gray or yellow.​
​
5. The cream used must not show results too quickly, especially if the skin is clearly brighter within 7 days, because a good cream should gradually exfoliate our new skin slowly, taking several months or even a year.​
​
6. The cream must not have a strange smell. In addition to the strong chemical smell, it should not have a strong perfume smell because it may mask the smell of dangerous chemicals that are prohibited from being used in cosmetics.​
​
7. If you want to be sure, the Department of Medical Sciences sells steroid test kits, but before buying, consult the seller first to see if the cream can be tested for steroids, because there are many types of steroids, and it may not be possible to find the type of steroid in the cream.​
However, the way to avoid steroid creams and whitening creams sold on the internet is to buy products from trusted manufacturers only. Do not fall for the tricks of scammers because if your skin is damaged or ruined, these people will not be responsible for you.
