　　Citizens reflect

　　So depressing!

I bought an ordinary mask for the "mechanical name"

　　Whether it is a micro-business in the circle of friends, or a "grass planting" app (referring to software that recommends a certain product), various videos and pictures of "medical beauty mask" are coming.

Ms. Huang, born in the 1990s who just finished photorejuvenation, bought a box of medical beauty masks, "I heard from a beauty blogger that medical beauty masks have medical effects, and they are all 'mechanical brand' products that can touch damaged skin. So I bought a lot." After using it for a while, she felt that it was not much different from the ordinary mask she used before.

　　"From the circle of friends to the medical beauty mask, the effect is fast, and it is helpful for sensitive skin. I always think it is better than ordinary masks." Yao Nan, a post-00s student in school, has not done medical beauty projects, but the purchase of masks has changed from basic moisturizing masks. For medical beauty mask.

After getting the medical beauty mask she bought, she found that the record number was still the same as the moisturizing mask she bought before. It was the makeup number (the record number of cosmetics). "I thought it was a medical product, but I didn't expect it to be a cosmetic."

　　"Medical Beauty Mask", "Mechanical Mask", "Repairing Mask", "Cold Compress"... All kinds of product names with medical effects make people dizzy.

　　Wu Xiufang, a staff member of the Pharmaceutical Machinery Division of the Nanjing Yuhuatai District Market Supervision Administration, told reporters that as early as January 2020, the State Food and Drug Administration issued "Cosmetics Popularization: Beware of the Trap of Mask Consumption", clearly pointing out that there is no "mechanical brand mask" concept. , Medical device products cannot use "mask" as their name, and "makeup brand mask" cannot claim "medical skin care products".

The so-called "mechanical mask" is actually a medical dressing, which belongs to the category of medical devices.

　　reporter survey

　　too messy!

It is difficult to distinguish the product packaging of "makeup size" and "machine size"

　　In a supermarket in Huacai Tiandi, Jianye District, the reporter saw that in addition to ordinary masks, there is a "Kefumei Sodium Hyaluronate Repair Patch" on the shelves. The method of use is to apply 2-3 times a week, each time 20-30 minutes.

5 pieces per box, the price is 128 yuan.

The reporter noticed that although the word "mask" does not appear in this product, it is also a cosmetic product, and its production license number is "Shaanzhuang 20160024".

　　Another "Fuerjia Sodium Hyaluronate Repairing Mask" has the application scope of "suitable for all types of skin, especially sensitive skin, acne-prone skin and skin after special beauty care. There is also no word "mask". , the manufacturer is Harbin Sanlian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., but the production license number is "Black Makeup 20180001", that is, makeup brand cosmetics.

　　In the Watsons store next door, the reporter saw that Fuerjia has another "medical sodium hyaluronate repair patch", which is a "mechanical brand" product.

The packaging of these two products looks almost the same at first glance, and it is difficult for consumers to see the difference if they do not pay attention to the words.

In terms of price, the price of repair film is 118 yuan/box, and the price of repair sticker is 128 yuan/box, and each box is 5 stickers.

　　Be careful!

Many companies have filed record "edge balls"

　　Are "Mechanical Brand" products really better than ordinary face masks?

Wu Xiufang said that, unlike cosmetics, medical device products do not need to indicate all the ingredients in the ingredient list, nor do they need to be labeled in descending order of ingredient content.

This has led some companies to opportunistically record products such as medical dressings as medical devices and promote them as cosmetics.

Behind the prosperity of the market for this type of product is the false propaganda of "fighting the edge" and the loopholes in the filing management requirements of enterprises.

　　"On the one hand, if the consumer purchases a 'XiZhao' product that claims to be a cosmetic or a facial mask, then there is an illegal act of publicity. On the other hand, the 'XiZhao' medical dressing is not like a cosmetic mask that can be used every day. Consumers should use makeup safely and use equipment scientifically." Wu Xiufang proposed.

　　Don't use it often!

Dressings are only auxiliary

　　"This type of mask, which we call 'dressing', is mainly used in two cases, one is to repair the skin barrier after photoelectric medical treatment; the second is to treat some skin with damaged skin barrier. Diseases play a role in assisting the repair of the skin barrier." Zhang Xiaorong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology, Nanjing First Hospital, told reporters, "Under normal circumstances, when patients with skin problems come to see a doctor, the first choice must be drug treatment, and dressings mainly play an auxiliary role. The role of treatment. However, according to the specific situation, the main components of most dressings are hyaluronic acid and collagen-like proteins, which still have a certain effect on skin moisturizing and barrier repair. "

　　Can that dressing be used regularly?

　　"For daily skin care, it is not recommended to use it frequently, at most once or twice a week." Zhang Xiaorong suggested that you can pay more attention to the maintenance of facial skin in peacetime, such as moderate cleaning, avoiding excessive and deep cleaning; scientific moisturizing, Reasonably choose skin care products that are suitable for you, consult a professional doctor when necessary, and choose according to your skin conditions; be careful about sun protection, choose products with excellent quality and appropriate sun protection index, and pay attention to the safety and importance of physical sun protection.
