Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Eb5 Corporation is recalling 4,632 units of eb5 Skincare that Works Age Spot Treatment, a skin lightening cream containing 2% Hydroquinone. The recall was initiated because the product failed stability testing, showing measurements for viscosity, pH levels, and specific gravity that were outside of required specifications. These defects can impact the consistency and effectiveness of the medication. The affected products were sold in 6 fl oz (177.4 ml) tubes inside cartons and were distributed nationwide in the United States. Consumers are advised to stop using the product and consult a healthcare professional.

Risk

The failure to meet stability specifications for pH and viscosity can lead to skin irritation or the active ingredients becoming less effective over time. While no injuries have been reported, using a product with incorrect pH levels on the skin may cause unexpected reactions or dryness.
