Aesthetic enhancement kits with prefilled syringes, as well as prescription-only acne treatment gel, were among the illegal listings of health products removed by the Health Sciences Authority. SINGAPORE: Do-it-yourself beauty injectable kits, dermal fillers and antibiotics – these were among the over 3,000 illegal health product listings removed by the Health Sciences Authority from online platforms in a month.
The remaining listings included contraceptives, antibiotics, antifungal or antiviral medicines, contact lenses, sexual enhancement and male vitality products, hair loss products and painkillers. "In particular, do-it-yourself aesthetic beauty injectable kits comprising dermal fillers or Botulinum toxin injections are health products which require HSA’s approval before they can be supplied and should be administered by qualified medical practitioners."
In August, a 48-year-old woman was jailed for two weeks and fined S$19,000 for supplying unregistered health products during her home-based aesthetic services and for promoting her services on social media. HSA tested the cream and found it to contain clobetasol propionate, a potent steroid, and ketoconazole, a medicine for fungal infections.
