Brilio.net - A woman's facial appearance is the most important thing that must always be maintained. There are many ways that women can do to ensure that their skin's beauty is well maintained and free from problems, such as acne. One way is to carry out routine treatments at a beauty clinic.
Even though you carry out treatment in a place labeled with experts, not all clinics provide reliable services. Sometimes there are clinics that provide concocted creams with dangerous ingredients. These skincare products are usually called blue labels. Blue label is a term used among the public for cosmetics that use additional ingredients, namely hard drugs. Usually this blue label skincare is labeled blue which indicates the product is only used on the outside of the body.
Usually skincare, such as blue label cream, is easy to get without a doctor's prescription. You can even find it on the marketplace. Not only that, Blue Label Cream also provides fast visible results. Therefore, many people use blue cream.

Even though it can make your face glow instantly, using this blue label cream can pose risks to its use. As recently experienced by TikTok user @intanayulaksmi. By uploading several videos on her TikTok account, the woman named Intan discovered the problem of acne that almost filled one face.
The appearance of this acne started when Intan experienced dermatitis last year. Experiencing problems with her face, Intan decided not to use blue label cream anymore.

Two days after using the blue label cream, her face started to be haunted by pimples that appeared one by one.
"After recovering from dermatitis, I returned to Blue Label with a different brand," explained Intan.
Not stopping using the cream, Intan bought blue label cream at the TikTok shop and used it for six months. Through an unnamed TikTok shop, Intan felt confident because the product was under the supervision of a doctor.
"I don't know if the consul online is true or not. For six months I have been prescribed blue labels continuously," he explained.

After using it for quite a long time, it turns out that the blue label cream is not recommended for long-term use. Knowing this information, Intan finally stopped using the cream without consulting a doctor.
Women who used blue label cream from 2019 to 2022 are starting to switch to facial care such as using base skincare. Starting from using a moisturizer that can relieve irritation due to acne. Then use a serum containing salicylic acid, niacinamide, and centella asiatica which can treat acne. Intan even diligently uses masks, whether in the form of products or made from natural ingredients.

Apart from using basic skincare, Intan also cares for her face from the inside by using herbal medicine. That's not enough, he also takes supplements. Consistently doing facial care both from the outside and inside, Intan's acne-prone face gradually recovered. Meanwhile, the video upload attracted the attention of netizens, leading to comments on several of the videos.
"There's a misunderstanding about Blue Label. Blue Label cream is a concoction cream. It's like you buy Paramex which contains various ingredients but it's BPOM. Well, Blue Label is a cream that is tailored to your needs and complaints," wrote the account @nurpalupi.
"Next time, don't underestimate the doctor's consultation. Blue label cream is medicine. If you want to stop, you have to taper off, you can't just stop suddenly," commented the account @blooms.
"I recovered from perioral dermatitis in 2 months, stopped not using any cream, only used thick facial soap, moiz, sunscreen, I also took medicine for acne and ointment for dermatitis," commented the account @Asih Kirana.
"You.. take dermathib medicine.. It's herbal medicine and it's suitable for everyone, including me..." added the account @ini_Mila21.
