A woman was left with ‘bulging eyes’ and skin that felt like it was ‘on fire’ after using a popular spot-bust treatment.
Neasa Mcgrattan, from Newcastle Upon Tyne, claimed that she had used the salicylic acid two percent solution serum through the beauty brand of the budget of the ordinary budget years before she bought a new bottle in March.
But a week later, the 27-year-old said she noticed a new result on her forehead and discovered that her eye lids were itchy.
She initially rejected the symptoms as a sign of stress, but was delivered after spotting extreme swelling around her eye area and visited her doctor for help.
The doctor prescribed hay fever tablets and told her that she had to stop using skin care products.
A break of using her beloved £ 6 product saw her skin clean up that she applied it again.
The next day she woke up ‘terrified’, with her face feeling that it was ‘on fire’ and her eyes were ‘doubled’ in size, she claimed.
Mrs. Mcgrattan said she was taken to the hospital where doctors suggested that the serum could be the cause of the reaction.

She has now warned others to test every new bottle of cosmetics they buy, because “the allergic reaction is not worth it.”
Reminding her first symptoms, she said: ‘After a week [of using the new bottle] I had a pretty small rash in the middle of my forehead, which was similar to a mild sunburn.
‘I started to get a itchy eye and eyelids and I got a dry patch to the right of my lower lip. It was similar to psoriasis or eczema, which I am not susceptible to. ‘
The next wave of symptoms that appeared the morning after using the serum was even worse.
‘I felt terrified when I woke up because my face was so hot that it was on fire and it was burning. I didn’t even get lighting from ice cubes, “she said.
“My eyes doubled in size and they were swollen. It looked worse than when I was beaten up, I could only open my eyes for a crack. ‘
Hospital doctors told her that she had an allergic reaction and prescribed her antihistamines and eye drops.
Once the swelling went down, she claimed that she was left with ‘outdated, red, flat and dry skin’.

“It just seemed like I had psoriasis on my eyelids, which was terrible.”
She added that doctors told her to ‘her bottle of salicylic acid’ as soon as she came home.
Regarding why she had not experienced such an extreme response to the product before, a change of formula could have taken place that eye specialists could have taken place.
“Ophthalmologists told me that products can be infected by other things or maybe it was not sealed correctly,” she added.
The normal website proposes to first apply the product in a small area, which states: ‘if you develop, rinse, rinse, use the use of use and a doctor immediately, if you develop serious irritation, hives, blelling, blistering or difficulty breathing.
Mrs. Mcgrattan advised: ‘You must patch every new bottle you buy, even if you have used that skin care product for ten years.
“I think every time I buy a new bottle of everything, even if I have used it a million times before, I will test every time, because it is not worth the reaction that I have.”
