CeraVe is being sued AGAIN?! This time its over claims that some benzoyl peroxide acne products may form benzene, a known carcinogen, under certain conditions. But what actually happened, what did the studies find, and should consumers be worried?
In this video, I break down the original claims, the lawsuits, the FDA's response, how the story spread across social media, and why the reality is far more nuanced than many headlines suggest.
So much credit goes to @LabMuffinBeautyScience Dr Michelle Wong for her years of coverage on benzene-related product scares and for helping bring important scientific context to this discussion. I highly recommend checking out her channel and videos on this topic.
