Some La Roche-Posay, Proactiv and Walgreens acne treatments recalled due to benzene levels
U.S. health officials are asking retailers to pull a small number of acne creams from their store shelves after government testing found they contain slightly elevated levels of a chemical associated with cancer.
Skin care products from La Roche-Posay, Proactiv recalled over potentially cancer-causing chemical
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a recall notice Tuesday for several lots of six products, including Walgreens Acne Control Cleanser, Proactiv Skin Smoothing Exfoliator, SLMD Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Lotion and La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment.
Some popular acne creams are being recalled because the product may contain elevated levels of benzene, a chemical that causes cancer, the FDA said.
The FDA tested 95 products containing benzoyl peroxide, an ingredient widely used to treat acne that can form benzene as a byproduct. It found that six products could have more benzene than usual.
