Release time: 2020-01-03 08:46:34 Source: National Drug Administration
As the public consumption upgrade, medical beauty is getting closer to our lives, and various laser treatments and skin care projects are sought after by consumers. After medical beauty, consumers are often recommended to use various so-called "mechanical masks", "medical beauty masks" (usually marked product registration certificate numbers are "× machine-referenced" or "× machine-prepared"), or makeup masks that are called "medical skin care products". These products are claimed to be higher standards, stronger, safer, and more suitable for consumers than ordinary facial masks. Are the so-called "mechanical masks" and "medical skin care products" better skin care options for consumers?
. There is no so-called "mechanical mask"
The so-called "mechanical mask" is actually a medical dressing and belongs to the category of medical devices. Medical dressings can be directly or indirectly in contact with the wound surface, and have medical effects such as absorbing wound surface exudate, supporting organs, preventing adhesions, or providing a suitable environment for wound healing. According to medical dressings managed by medical devices, they can be divided into three categories: surgical dressings (divided into absorbable and non-absorbent dressings), contact wound dressings (divided into acute wound dressings and chronic wound dressings), and bandaging and fixing dressings.
According to the " Medical Device Supervision and Administration Regulations ", medical dressing products are divided from low to high according to the degree of risk, and are managed according to the first, second and third types of medical devices. Any medical dressing that is claimed to be sterile shall have a minimum management category of Class II medical devices; if it is exposed to wounds that are damaged in the deep layer of the dermis or below the tissue, or used for chronic wounds, or can be absorbed in whole or in part by the human body, its management category is a third medical device. Before the market is launched, domestic second-class medical device products must be registered with the provincial drug supervision and administration department; before the market is launched, the third-class medical device and imported second-class medical device must be registered with the National Drug Administration.
The naming of medical dressings managed by medical devices shall comply with the requirements of the "Name Rules for the General Name of Medical Devices". shall not contain declared words such as "beauty", "health care", and shall not contain exaggerated scope of application or other misleading or deceptive content. Therefore, there is no concept of "mechanical font mask", and medical device products cannot use "mask" as their name.
2. "Makeup Font Mask" cannot be claimed as "medical skin care products"
The so-called "Makeup Font Mask" is a mask product managed according to cosmetics. It refers to cosmetics that are applied or applied to the surface of human skin, and after a period of time, they can play a nursing or cleansing role. Facial mask cosmetics include not only facial masks, but also eye masks, nasal masks, lip masks, hand masks, foot masks, , foot masks, cervical masks, etc. In recent years, they have been favored by consumers and have become an important cosmetics category.
According to the pre-market supervision method of products, facial masks and cosmetics are divided into two categories: the first category, special purpose cosmetic masks that need to be registered with the State Drug Administration before they are launched, mainly products that claim to have special effects such as freckle removal and whitening; the second category, non-special purpose cosmetic masks that need to be registered with the State Drug Administration or provincial drug supervision and administration department before they are launched, mainly products that claim to have moisturizing, cleaning, moisturizing and other effects.
According to the provisions of the " Cosmetics Health Supervision Regulations " and other laws and regulations, cosmetics shall not claim to have medical effects, and their markings shall not be marked with exaggerated functions, false propaganda, etc. Some facial mask cosmetics claim products as "medical skin care products" and "pharmaceutical cosmetics" products, etc., which are explicit or implied that the product has medical effects and are illegal claims.
3. How to use facial mask correctly
Medical dressings should be guided by a qualified doctor and used in accordance with the correct usage and dosage. They cannot be used as daily skin care products for a long time.
Facial mask cosmetics should be used in accordance with the requirements of the instructions.Although there is no clear dosage limit for cosmetics, the more frequently the mask is, the better. For some consumers with sensitive skin, using facial masks every day may aggravate the sensitivity of the skin, which is not conducive to skin health.
2. The market chaos of the "mechanical font" product must be accurately hit
"This 'mechanical font' mask has a stronger beauty effect than ordinary masks. It not only has strong soothing ability, but also a 'medical beauty-grade' repair mask." This is a beauty anchor's speech when introducing facial masks, and said that this is about the same price as ordinary masks and can also be used every day. It can be said that "the investment is not a loss." Fans did not disappoint their responsibilities, and within a minute, 300 items were sold out.
It is worth noting that almost no one on the public screen raises questions about this "mechanical font" mask, and more people care about the price, benefits and usage effect. You should know that not everything can be called "mechanical font size". "Mechanical font size" refers to medical devices that implement conventional national management and can ensure their safety and effectiveness. Obviously, this mask is known as a "mechanical font" with a lot of moisture.
According to Science and Technology Daily, with the rise of short videos, e-commerce platforms and live streaming, "mechanical font" products have gradually entered major live broadcast rooms and have successfully won the recognition of most consumers. However, the reporter found a common phenomenon: . Many consumers do not know that "mechanical font size" products are medical devices, and they do not know that such products cannot be used at will. Moreover, if the merchant sells it at will without business qualifications, it will directly disrupt the market order.
Interestingly, as early as early as 2020, the State Administration of Drug Administration had issued an announcement entitled "Cosmetics Popular Science: Beware of Facial Mask Consumption Traps". The announcement clearly stated that there is no "mechanical font" mask now. As the name suggests, the "mechanical font" mask is a medical dressing and belongs to the category of medical devices. What's more, in the management of medical devices, medical dressings also clearly state that their special effects and scope of application shall not be exaggerated during publicity, nor shall they contain deceptive content, nor shall they use words such as "beauty or health care" to promote.
"Mechanical Font" mask is just a concept created by merchants in order to better sell themselves. What's more, medical device products cannot be named after "Mask". In addition to the "mechanical font mask", there are also contact lenses, medical beauty cream, and human-like collagen , which are all products that are strongly praised by merchants. But many people may not know that the contact lenses they bring to their eyes every day are corneal contact lens , the medical beauty cream used is liquid dressing, and the humanoid collagen bought at high prices is soluble collagen .
In fact, the State Market Supervision Administration has long defined color contact lenses as class 3 medical device . Users should go to the hospital for eye examination first, and then choose some trustworthy and regular contact lenses, otherwise the eyes will be easily injured.
In response to this, Deng Liqiang, deputy director of Beijing Huawei Law Firm, said that as advertisers, each platform should be particularly strict about the operation of medical devices and cannot conduct false propaganda or excessive publicity. If the circumstances are serious, it must bear the legal responsibility for medical advertising. Experts also gave suggestions for this. medical devices generally need to be used in the correct way under the guidance of a doctor. They cannot be used as skin care products for a long time.Therefore, don’t buy any “mechanical font” cosmetics at will!
3. Drug Administration Anti-counterfeiting "mechanical font mask", do you still believe in medical beauty masks?
[Introduction]
If you are not a skin care novice, you should know some of the "mechanical font masks" that have been very popular in recent years
such as Fuerjia , Chuangfukang, Kefumei, Fuqing ... etc.
is even several times more expensive than ordinary masks...
Why?
With it, it is the "mechanical font size" of medical devices
sounds safer
1Machine font size
What is the mechanical font size
Let's give examples
This so-called "mechanical font size mask" or "medical beauty mask" is the real name of
Medical sodium hyaluronate repair sticker
Does it have repair effects?
of course not!
Because the ingredients it publishes are only water + Hyaluronic acid + preservative + non-woven
Can hyaluronic acid repair the skin? Obviously not! It has only moisturizing effects.
2Both
Another point, everyone should pay attention to it.
medical gloves need to be registered under the name of medical devices, and the main body of the filing is gloves;
medical gauze needs to be registered under the name of medical devices, and the main body of the filing is gauze;
medical mask needs to be registered under the name of medical devices, and the main body of the filing is mask...
So, what is the main body of this repair sticker for Fuerjia?
It is obvious that the filing body of the repair post is
nonwoven cloth
also called nonwoven fabric.
so, do you understand something? What are the "medical" and "medical beauty"? It just tells you that this non-woven fabric is now qualified to enter the medical system for sale.
3 is safer?
So, are these "mechanical font masks" registered under "Medical Devices" safer?
Let's look at the following
Everyone carefully look at its ingredients
"The main ingredients of antibacterial repair solution are composed of a mixture of carbomer , hyaluronic acid , thirteen peptides, deionized water "
If the cosmetics regulatory regulations are followed, this ingredient labeling is illegal.
1) does not indicate the actual ingredients (threidine peptide is a general concept)
2) does not indicate all the ingredients added
Therefore, "mechanical font size" does not mean safety. Can you use a "mechanical font size" with unknown ingredients with confidence?
4 Anti-counterfeiting
Finally, the Drug Administration came forward to combat "mechanical font mask"
See the picture below
The Drug Administration confirmed that
does not exist as the so-called "mechanical font mask", which is called a medical cold compress.
and emphasized that is illegal for wearing "medical cosmetics", "medical skin care products", "medical beauty masks", and "mechanical font masks".
In fact, the so-called "mechanical font" mask and essence are essentially medical cold compresses and liquid dressings. Criminals often add antibiotics, hormones and other illegal ingredients to this type of product to achieve the purpose of quickly solving skin problems.
"Little do you know that this method of adding illegally can solve the immediate problem of the skin on the surface, but in fact, it will cause irreversible damage to the human body's own immune system." Zhang Taijun said.
This reminds people of the "big-headed doll" incident that attracted widespread attention from the society not long ago.Recently, according to "XX Review", a "Xiaozi" baby face cream has severely exceeded the standard of hormones, resulting in a 5-month-old baby having a swollen, hairy and slow development.
So, even in the hospital, the doctor wants to prescribe what you call "medical skin care products", you can generously refuse because this publicity is illegal.
The skin care products sold in the hospital are just ordinary skin care products! It has no special effect!

Finally, I will post two pictures of real products to test everyone. Whether the following two products are violated, I mean that the narrow violation is not in compliance with current laws and regulations, and does not include false propaganda. Note: These are two products, one is mechanical font size and the other is cosmetic font size.
mechanical font size products
cosmetic font size products
Log in to the official website of "Guangdong Provincial Food and Drug Administration". In the "Homepage" of "Guangdong Provincial Food and Drug Administration", drop-down and find "Data Query" and click to enter to query. Click "Medical Devices" in "Database Query", then click "Guangdong Province's First Class Medical Device Filing", and then search in Advanced Query. Enter "Yuansui Machinery No. 2018XXXX" in the "Registration Number" of advanced query, click "Search", and in "Query Results" you can query the information of "Yuansui Machinery No. 2018XXXX".
What are the differences between Guangdong-Suizhou machinery and equipment font sizes?
1. First of all, the approval units are different. The font size of the machine is approved and certified by National Food and Drug Administration , and follows the regulations "Medical Device Production Quality Management Specifications". The makeup font size is approved by the cosmetic testing department of the Ministry of Health and complies with the regulations " Cosmetic Manufacturing Enterprises Health Standards ". Simply put, the size of the mechanical font is medical equipment, the production requires sterility, the packaging must undergo strict quality inspection, and the workshop's cleanliness cannot be less than 300,000. The makeup font size is a daily necessity, and the production does not require sterility, and the quality inspection is relatively loose, and there is no "mandatory" requirement for the cleanliness of the workshop.
2. Secondly, the formula is different, the formula is simple, the function is mainly repair and moisturizing, and no non-efficacy additives are added. It is safe and gentle, and can be used directly on wounds. The makeup font formula is more complicated, and it is necessary to pursue good looks, good smell and obvious selling points, so spices, fluorescent agent , alcohol, hormones and other ingredients will be added to the formula. In addition, because it is not a sterile product, a variety of preservatives will be added.
Legal basis :
" Medical Device Registration Management Measures "
Article 77 stipulates that the number of registration certificates for the first-class medical device is: ×1 Machinery No. ×××2×××3. Among them: ×1 is the abbreviation of the location of the filing department: the first imported medical device is the word "country". The first-class medical devices in the country are the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality where the filing department is located plus the abbreviation of the municipal administrative area where the district is located (if there is no municipal administrative area with corresponding districts, it is only the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government); ××××2 is the filing year; ××××3 is the filing flow number.
