Popular Priceline Exfoliating Gel Cleanser recalled after allergy hazard found
A popular skincare product has been recalled due to health concerns and the risk of allergic reactions.
Product Safety Australia announced the recall of Priceline and Clear Skincare Clinic’s Exfoliating Gel Cleanser after it was found to not comply with the mandatory standard for cosmetic ingredients labelling.
“The ingredient list is incorrect,” the regulator said, and the product may be a “hazard to consumers”.

The cleanser was sold nationally and online through Priceline and Priceline Pharmacy & Clear Skincare Clinics between February 27, 2024 and July 10, 2024.
