Unraveling the Real Concerns Behind EU's 0,3% Retinol Ban

The EU is restricting retinol concentrations in products to 0.3% or below, primarily due to concerns that the combined intake from various sources could exceed recommended limits and pose health risks. This is essentially a ban on concentrations of retinol over 0.3%.

However, from my perspective, the underlying issue is the widespread misinformation about proper retinol usage, especially concerning higher strengths. Many doctors on social media, acting as salespersons, neglect proper usage guidelines. This leads to misuse, misinformation, and a flood of misguided comments in their sections. Such behavior, in turn, influences other influencers who replicate this flawed information, resulting in the propagation of misleading usage guides. Consequently, people end up overusing the products.

The real solution lies in better education on product use and not more regulation!
