The cosmetics giant stuck a 'do not use' alert on its dermatologist-backed acne treatment and moisturiser Effaclar Duo in the US following talks with American health chiefs. It is feared the product, which costs around $35 (£27), is contaminated with benzene, a known carcinogen. The US formulation of Effaclar Duo contains the ingredient benzoyl peroxide (BPO), which kills bacteria to help treat acne. The recall does not affect the UK as the substance is not present in the products on British shelves.
