I just found out that the FDA recently put out a warning against some cosmetics from abroad that contain mercury. According to Charles Lee, M.D., a senior medical advisor at FDA, “It can damage the kidneys and the nervous system, and interfere with the development of the brain in unborn children and very young children.” The FDA encourages us to check the label of any product marked as skin lightening and anti-aging used to treat age spots, freckles, blemishes, and wrinkles for the words “mercurous chloride,” “calomel,” “mercuric,” “mercurio,” or “mercury,” and to stop using them immediately if you see them. There have been several cases across the country of mercury poisoning from foreign cosmetic products that have unacceptable levels of mercury.

Concerned about what I'm using, I immediately grabbed all the skin care products I use to check for mercury when I heard this. I have used so many different products... to remove dark spots, to firm collagen, to clear breakouts... all in my journey for beautiful, flawless skin. I've finally found something I love, have seen results, and it DOESN'T have mercury! I found Jeunesse. 






Let me know what you found that works for you!!
