Public told to stop using two cosmetics products

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The public should avoid buying and using two cosmetics products - the Bao Fu Ling Snow Lotus and Bao Fu Ling Skincare creams - which have been found to contain the scheduled poison diphenhydramine.

According to a statement issued by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) of the Malaysian Health Ministry, the use of diphenhydramine without supervision by a health professional could cause the skin to become more sensitive to sunlight, resulting in severe allergies.
