Whenever you are considering purchasing a new product, it is always best to do a little research to ensure that they are the right one to buy. That's particularly the case if those products could hold potentially dangerous chemicals.
Even for something as seemingly mundane as a makeup removal wipe, if you have never tried a particular brand, then you need to look into it first so that you can make an informed decision.
Otherwise, the results might be disastrous.
Sadly, many people don't look into online reviews (which only takes a few minutes) and, as a result, some suffer.
Facebook user Jaimie Potts is well aware of how specific products can mess with the skin, and potentially your overall health.
"I saw there any reason why these are still on the market? Did you change the formula? I am really concerned with all the reactions I'm seeing here. I thought it was just me, but apparently, I'm not alone."
Another wrote:
"Omg did they change the formula? Been using this for years. Picked up a new pack and used it this morning (work night shift) went to bed, woke up looking like I had the measles! My skin feels rough, it hurts, I'm slathered in aloe... god I hope my patients don't think I'm contagious."
The rest of the views continue in this critical vein:
Neutrogena has responded by asking some of the users to contact their emergency helpline trying to resolve the issue. In a lengthy response to a customer, the company wrote:
"Thank you for reaching out about this! We're very sorry to hear about your experience, and we’re here to clear the air about our beloved Makeup Remover Wipes. We’ve heard and seen the passionate conversations that have recently taken place about potential skin/allergic reactions.
