THE WHAT? A consumer has launched a class action lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson-owned Neutrogena alleging that its SPF50 sunscreen for babies is identical to the adult equivalent but being sold at a higher price, according to a report published by Top Class Actions.
THE DETAILS The baby version is said to carry numerous label statements but is basically identical to the product targeted at adults and being sold at a dramatically different price, the suit alleges. The baby version contains avena sativa, whereas the adult version does not, but this is not sufficient to justify the price difference, the plaintiff claims.
THE WHY? Federal lawmakers are working to prevent companies charging a premium for products aimed at women or children – a so-called ‘pink tax’, the suit alleges, and amounts to unjust enrichment, the plaintiff claims.
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.
