3. Is Chinese medicine really used to regenerate the skin as advertised?

With the advertised miraculous effects, these drugs are only sold at very cheap prices, from only 90,000 VND to 1,000,000 VND depending on the quantity and place of supply. It can be seen that the quality of these products is not uniform, the origin is not clear. The dangers are always available if you are intending to use Chinese medicine to regenerate the skin.

This active ingredient is often used in the treatment of severe and chronic cases of eczema. For some people, they can cause very severe skin irritation that causes significant flaking of the skin. More importantly, if this acid is mixed with the wrong ratio, it will cause skin damage, causing an extremely uncomfortable burning sensation.
In addition, there are cases where the skin has an allergic condition to some active ingredients in cosmetics, which will seriously affect not only the skin but also may cause systemic diseases and cancer. The skin's epidermis thins, leaving the skin unprotected, prone to bacterial invasion causing inflammation, pus accumulation which is difficult to treat in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider products before deciding to use them to optimally protect the skin.
