A Nigerian woman experienced severe facial irritation after using a skincare product advertised as a miracle solution on TikTok.
Influenced by the product’s popularity, @reallyher001 shared a video selfie showcasing her flawless skin before the drastic change following the use of the skincare item.
Another video features @reallyher001 experiencing significant facial discomfort, including dark patches, acne, and skin discoloration, after using the skincare product promoted on TikTok.
