Benefit Cosmetics is recalling its popular Gimme Brow Eyebrow Gel after fears the best-selling product may cause serious eye-irritation.
A statement released on the popular beauty brand’s website reads: ‘Out of an abundance of caution, we are initiating a voluntary recall of our Gimme Brow product after discovering that recent batches of the product did not meet our stringent quality standards.’
The warning stated that if the product comes into contact with your eyes it could lead to serious irritation.
Benefit added: ‘We sincerely regret the inconvenience this recall may cause.’
While no known cases have been reported in Australia, The Sun claims a 22-year-old came forward after suffering severe swelling to her left eye from the product.
She said half an hour after accidentally rubbing the gel in her eye, she went to hospital where she was given antibiotics.
The swelling eventually resided and she had no long term damage.
If you own this product, it is suggested you immediately stop using it and return it to your closest Benefit Cosmetics retailer for a full refund.
