Experts suggest that if spots appear on the face, one should seek treatment at a dermatology department in a regular hospital. Cosmetics, skincare products, and beauty items are best purchased under the guidance of a doctor because many consumers do not understand their own skin conditions, let alone the ingredients of the products. Moreover, consumers lack the ability to authenticate these products. Dr. Sun also wants to tell female friends through this newspaper: "When purchasing beauty products, never use yourself as a guinea pig!"
After reviewing the promotional materials for the "Zai Qingchun Smart Repair Mask," the expert said that this product is at most just a "physical therapy device," and its "true nature" cannot be verified. What kind of achievement does the statement in the promotional materials say, "The latest global research results show?" Where does it come from? Furthermore, the sentence that looks like medical terminology, "The size of the energy supply capacity of mitochondria in cells determines the synthesis and division of cells," is also incorrect.
When Miss Tang negotiated again, the distributor said that if she agreed to return the goods today, they would refund 900 yuan; otherwise, if delayed until tomorrow, only 500 yuan would be refunded. After careful consideration, Miss Tang ultimately decided to sign the so-called "ineffective return" agreement with the merchant. Reprinted from Bailin News
Customer: Difficult to achieve ineffective refunds
"The efficacy of 'Zai Qingchun' has been questioned by consumers"
On the packaging of the "Zai Qingchun Smart Repair Mask," the reporter did not find the registration number of the medical device, which raised doubts about the legal status of the product. Subsequently, the reporter went to the Yangzhou Food and Drug Administration. After learning the situation, Director Lü Xuehua of the Medical Device Management Department of the bureau said that since the product claims to be a "low-frequency facial treatment instrument," it indicates that the product is a medical device, and medical devices must be approved by the drug supervision department, obtaining a medical device registration certificate and a production license. The medical device registration number and production license number must be printed on the outer packaging of the product. Director Lü also took out the No. 10 Order of the State Food and Drug Administration - the "Regulations on the Management of Instructions, Labels, and Packaging Identification of Medical Devices." Article 8 of the Regulations clearly states: The packaging of medical devices shall bear the registration certificate number of the medical device and the product standard number.
Expert: Difficult to cure the pathology of spots and acne
A senior expert in cosmetic surgery at a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province told reporters that what is commonly referred to as spots are collectively known in medicine as "pigmentation deepening lesions." Their pathology is relatively complex and has a great deal to do with genetics, sun exposure, daily living habits, endocrine functions, and the use of cosmetics, hence there are many treatment options. However, according to the current medical technology in our country, there is no special method to completely cure them. Acne, medically called 'acne,' is mainly caused by active hormone secretion and excessive oil secretion leading to infection. Laser hair removal costs vary. Currently, the most advanced treatment method in our country is through the "Photon Acne Treatment Instrument," but all of Yangzhou City does not have such equipment yet because the treatment effect of this method is not very ideal, and no one can guarantee that it will not recur after being cured. Therefore, those beauty advertisements on the market are unreliable.
Can the "Zai Qingchun Smart Repair Mask" really remove spots and acne and achieve a beautifying effect? Reporters interviewed relevant experts on this matter.
Recently, Ms. Tang, a reader in Yangzhou, came to our newspaper claiming: She bought a set of "Zai Qingchun Smart Repair Masks" at a mall in the city, and the result was not only no beautification effect but also full-face acne. When she asked for a refund based on the merchant's promise of "ineffective refund," she encountered numerous obstacles.
Ms. Tang told reporters that on April 8th this year, she spent 1800 yuan to buy a set of Zai Qingchun Smart Repair Masks (Low-Frequency Facial Treatment Instrument) at a mall in Yangzhou, which claimed to remove spots and acne. But after using it according to the instructions, there was not only no beautification effect but also acne all over her face. Based on the salesperson's commitment of "refund if ineffective" when she initially purchased it, Ms. Tang approached the distributor to request a refund. Initially, the distributor only agreed to refund 800 yuan, but after Ms. Tang's strong insistence, the distributor agreed to refund 900 yuan.
No Effect from Beauty Mask, Ineffective Refunds Hard to Achieve
Doctor: Don't Use Yourself as an Experiment
The reporter showed the promotional materials of the "Zai Qingchun Smart Repair Mask" to the expert, who thought after viewing that this so-called beauty method is not within the scope of medical aesthetics but uses the banner of medical aesthetics to attract consumers. If it could really achieve the claimed effects, it would certainly apply for medical device registration and promote it to clinical use. This expert also raised such doubts: Since the product is merely a beauty care product, why are there so many medical terms in the promotional materials?
