Consumers have been reporting chapped lips and cheilitis after using Rom&nd's The Juicy Lasting Tint. Although the ingredient causing the problem hasn't been clearly identified, the company has acknowledged the controversy and revealed that they are developing a product that addresses the issue.
According to a confirmation from Rom&nd on the 4th, complaints of cheilitis symptoms from customers who used Rom&nd's The Juicy Lasting Tint have increased since last June. Rom&nd stated that they are taking steps to recall the products and issue refunds to some customers.
However, it has been confirmed that The Juicy Lasting Tint is still being sold through CJ Olive Young and other retailers.
Recently, online communities have been flooded with posts written by people who experienced various side effects after using The Juicy Lasting Tint. Reported symptoms include peeling, rashes, swelling, and other allergic reactions on the lips.
A post on an online community said, "When I apply the tint, it stings as if I'm rubbing my lips with a strong alcohol pad. I only realized it after my lips cracked."
In relation to this, some speculate that the ingredient 'Red No. 202' used in Rom&nd's products is the main cause.
According to the Korea Consumer Agency's safety survey on lip products, Red No. 202 can cause allergic reactions on the lips, with symptoms including peeling, rashes, and blisters along the border of the lips and skin.
However, other ingredients may also be the cause. In fact, lip products from other companies also contain Red No. 202 but haven't faced similar controversy.
One consumer, identified as A, stated, "My lips are fine as long as I avoid Red No. 202, but I get cheilitis even from Rom&nd's products that don't contain Red No. 202. I really want to know what the cause is."
...
Rom&nd explained that after discussing the issue with the manufacturer's researchers involved in the new product development, volatile ingredients were identified as a possible cause. The company also announced that they plan to release a reformulated version with modified ingredients in January next year.
-For me, it's Periperaㅠㅠ Whenever I use any lip products from Peripera, my lips feel so dry and I always end up with cheilitis...
-So the redness and stinging on my lips was caused by that lip tint... It happens with lip tints from other companies too... How do I avoid this?? My lips completely break out sometimes.
-I have never had dry lips in my entire life, but after I started using that lip tint, they got so dry and no matter what I did, even with lip balm, it became even drier and sore. At first, I didn't know what caused it, but after realizing it was because of that lip tint, I threw it away.
-I really wanted to try Rom&nd's products, though... I guess I'll just buy it when the new product comes out.
-Oh Gosh... I literally just got home from buying one of those;;
-Peripera and Clio's lip products do that to me... Peripera is really bad.
-Hul... I got cheilitis right after using exactly that lip tint. Crazy. So it was because of that.
-There are a lot of lip products that contain Red No. 202... I think the problem is with the formulation or some other ingredients...
-What the heck?? I just applied it on my lips;;
-My lips are totally fine, though...
-Wasn't it fine a few years ago?
-Even if your lips are fine after using that lip tint, don't keep using it. Once you get chelitis, it won't go away easily. It sticks around.
-I got cheilitis too... It has been 3 months and it still hasn't f*cking healed... And I only use Rom&nd's lip products.
-As soon as I put it on I was like 'What is this'?ㅠㅠ It feels tingly on my lips.
-My lips got messed up too, I didn't know this was the cause.
