In the consumption of skin care products, the concept of "source code" has gradually been mentioned by some merchants and consumers.

However, from an industry perspective, so-called "source code" skin care products are often a fuzzy area with many risks and misleading, and consumers must remain vigilant about the many hidden problems.
Is the source code of skin care products really leaked from the factory?
Many merchants selling "source code" claim that their products come directly from brand OEMs. Also, packaging and marketing costs are eliminated. However, the actual situation is that formal brands have strict contracts with OEMs. The contract prohibits the factory from selling products privately. A large part of the "source code" circulating in the market is likely to be defective or expired products that have been eliminated. Or a complete imitation of the product. Its ingredients, hygiene standards and production environment cannot be guaranteed. The risk of use is extremely high.

What are the possible risks of using source code skin care products?

Products may have bacteria that exceed standards, contain prohibited ingredients or heavy metals, which may cause skin problems such as allergies and facial skin ulcers.
