The document advises caution when buying overseas cosmetics, especially those with false medical claims, as they may lack safety inspections. Consumers are urged to buy officially imported products, check labels carefully, and seek specialist advice for skin issues. Cosmetics are not medicines, so avoid products falsely advertised with medical effects. Ingredient lists can vary by country due to different bans, so consumers should verify ingredients on the official website or the “Pharmaceutical Safety Country ‘Cosmetic Use Restricted Raw Materials'” site. Store products properly, avoid using on wounds, and keep them out of children’s reach. Harmed consumers can seek help via the ‘International Trade Consumer Portal’ and review past cases.
