Switched from my usual brand and faced serious issues

I decided to try this over my regular brand, which has never caused me any problems; however, this product resulted in chemical burns on my eyelids, and I’m still dealing with the aftermath over a year later. The claims of being “Healthy” in various videos are misleading. Step 1 Perm:
🚩 Polyacrylamide – may contain residual acrylamide, a known neurotoxin and probable carcinogen. Not suitable for use near the eyes unless it's pharmaceutical grade. Thioglycolic acid – highly irritating and corrosive. A strong sulfur/chemical odor often suggests poor formulation or high concentration, known to cause chemical burns and eyelid dermatitis. 🙃 Propylene glycol – enhances the absorption of other chemicals and is a common trigger for contact dermatitis, particularly around the eyes. The combination of thioglycolic acid and propylene glycol leads to increased penetration of a corrosive substance on the most delicate skin area. Step 2 Fixation:
Methylparaben – can lead to skin irritation. Distilled water – should neutralize the perm step, but if poorly formulated or incorrectly pH-balanced, it can exacerbate damage instead. Step 3 Nourish:
Vegan collagen – not true collagen (animal-derived). Offers no structural repair and is purely a marketing tactic. (Apologies to vegans x). Distilled water – does not heal burns and may aggravate irritation on damaged eyelid skin. Step 4 Cleanser:
PEG/PPG Copolymers & PEG-6 Glycerides – can disrupt the skin barrier after chemical exposure. Osmanthus/Rosa Rugosa extracts – fragrance near the eyes, high potential for allergies. Phenoxyethanol – a preservative that can irritate the eyes. The combination of fragrance and surfactants on chemically injured eyelids prolongs inflammation. Eyelash glue:
Polyacrylate – can cause physical irritation.
Ammonium sulfate – stings broken skin. Claiming this is “healthy” is completely unrealistic and a blatant falsehood.
