THE WHAT? A disgruntled shopper has launched a class action lawsuit charging Sephora with deceiving consumers by selling products containing synthetic ingredients under its Clean at Sephora banner, according to a report published by Top Class Actions.
THE DETAILS The suit was filed in a New York federal court and is seeking damages, fees, costs and a jury trial for alleged violations of state consumer fraud acts, breach of warranty, fraud and unjust enrichment.
THE WHY? The complainant states that consumers understand ‘clean’ in the context of cosmetics to be free from synthetic chemicals and ingredients that could be harmful to the user or environment and a ‘significant percentage of products’ sold under the Clean at Sephora program contain ingredients inconsistent with this understanding.
Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
