In fact, any combination of drugs may have a certain impact on the skin and internal organs, and the consequences vary from person to person, so we should choose carefully. Before choosing Chinese herbal skin care products for external use, it is recommended to try them on the back of the ear and other parts. If there are no allergic symptoms such as redness and itching, then use it on your face.
