If you’re into skincare, you know that Mario Badescu is everywhere.
Instead of being botanically-based as the company claimed, Mario Badescu products were found to be full of steroids.
And those steroids were damaging customers' skin.
Steroids like those can cause serious damage to the skin when used over long periods of time.
According toObserver, steroid use can cause enlarged capillaries and, in extreme cases, skin atrophy.
This means that skin can become thinner, causing it to perforate and tear easily.
And, it can be incredibly painful.
According toHealthline,this triggers when you stop using steroids that your skin has become used to.
Although steroids have been eliminated from Mario Badescu’s products, many remain distrustful of the brand.
