News memory

SK-II was sued for corrosion in 2005

In March 2005, a female consumer in Jiangxi Province heard from SK-II, a well-known cosmetics brand, advertising about “47% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles for 28 consecutive days.” Purchased an SK-II firming anti-wrinkle serum. After 28 days of use, the above-mentioned effect did not appear, but it caused skin itching and partial burning, and filed a lawsuit in court.

On March 25, 2005, the Jiangxi Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce made a penalty decision, arguing that when P & G advertised its products, it exaggerated the suspicions. P & G sent staff to the Nanchang Administration for Industry and Commerce to sign and punish the penalty, amounting to 200,000 yuan.

On August 24, 2005, Procter & Gamble held an SK-II media communication meeting in Beijing. Feng Jialu, PR manager of Procter & Gamble's SK-II China, read out a court decision from Nanchang, rejecting the plaintiff's claim.
