Priceline is a pharmacy chain that began operations in 1982. The company started out as a beauty retailer. In 2004, Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (API) acquired the New Price Retail chain and concentrated its retailing strategy on the Priceline brand. The company underwent a brand repositioning in 2008, changing the livery to a magenta pink. Today, the retail chain sponsors the Western Bulldogs, an AFLW team.
The company has issued a warning to customers about fake products, which are made from the same chemicals. The brand has taken steps to make sure that its product ingredients are safe for the general public. For instance, it has halted the sale of two cosmetics that contain AHA and BHA. These ingredients are illegal in Australia, and if you have sensitive skin, you may need to start using a lower concentration before attempting to use them on a daily basis.
The company has discontinued the sale of four products – AHA 30% +BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, and Alpha Arbutin 2%+HA. The company also announced the recall of six other ingredients, including AHA 30+BHA, EUK 134 0.1%, Resveratrol 3%+Ferulic Acid, and Argireline Solution 10%. These products are mainly intended for oily and combination skin. However, they may be used on sensitive skin if the user isn’t able to tolerate high levels of acids.
AHA is a water-soluble acid made from sugary fruits. It can remove the outer layer of the skin and encourage the production of more evenly pigmented skin cells. It can also smooth out skin texture. AHAs are more suitable for oily and combination skin types. AHAs may be more effective for rosacea-related redness, while BHAs can be more suitable for sensitive or dry skin.
AHA and BHA peeling solutions are often marketed as being safe for all skin types, but if your skin is sensitive to them, it may need to be diluted. AHA and BHA peeling solutions should be used only after consulting with a dermatologist. The products sold in Priceline are highly concentrated and not recommended for everyday use. They should be applied to the face once or twice a week. The products are best suited for oily and combination skin.
There are six products sold in Priceline that are prohibited in Australia. AHA 30% +BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Azelaic Acid Suspension, and Alpha Arbutin 2%+HA are prohibited. These products are not allowed to be sold in Australia. Some people with sensitive skin should not use these products daily. AHAs are usually best suited for combination to oily skin. In some cases, they may be less effective for sensitive skin.
