Whitening products that promise miracles have a dark side, so be careful what you take or apply on your skin. (Better yet, ditch the white skin obsession ASAP!)
“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning to the public against Luxxe Whitening Enhanced Glutathione, an unregistered whitening product being sold online that also claims that it could destroy free radicals that cause cancer,” reports Jenny F. Manongdo in Manila Bulletin.
This is contrary to what is posed on a Facebook account that supposedly belongs to Luxxe Whitening Enhanced Glutathione. The Facebook post claimed that “the product is FDA and halal approved.”
However, the FDA said that Luxxe Whitening Enhanced Glutathione is not registered either as a food or drug supplement.
The report revealed that “the online advertisement of the product also violated FDA Memorandum circular no. 2013-030 (released on August 20, 2013), which prohibits the use of the FDA logo or the initials ‘FDA’ or the words ‘Philippine FDA’ in any commercial activity.”
