Makeup lovers slam Dior's $40 lip oil after claiming it left them with 'BURNS'
Makeup lovers have slammed Dior's popular $40 lip oil after claiming it left them with 'burns.'
Multiple women have taken to TikTok to express their concern about the designer brand's Addict Lip Glow Oil.
The beauty lovers have claimed to have had alarming experiences with the product including discoloration.
In one recent clip, content creator Saph shared before and after photos from using the oil - depicting a stark difference.
'It made my lips black, crack, peel, sore, this brought my self esteem so low when it happened to the point I was coloring my lips with pink lip liner.
'My lips haven't been the same, but thank god they've turned back to their some what normal color!'
Another woman, posting as Simone Beauty from Texas, stated the 'rumors were true' about the product and it 'burnt the crap out of her lips.'
Others also rushed in to share their own experiences as they urged women to 'stop using that Dior lip gloss.'
DailyMail.com has contacted Dior for comment.
Though some of the women called the product a lip gloss, it was in fact the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil that they were using.
Lip oil is intended to nourish your lips on a deep level, while glosses are for a surface-level shine.
Hundreds of people were shocked by the claims and flooded to the comments with their own alleged experiences.
'Jesus, this is the lip gloss I use and my lips are burned black,' someone shared.
'I did the same, it took two months, omg,' a person wrote.
'My lips still suffering from this, thank god it ain't dark no more,' a user said.
Another wrote: 'I had to stop using it cause it did me like this too.'
'Same thing happened to me. I hate it so much. I don't know what to do,' someone admitted, while another said, 'Omg, this happened to me too.'
'Yesss, that Dior lip oil is the devil. I was trying to figure out why my lips kept feeling weird, and I realized it was the oil,' a person revealed.
Someone else said: 'This happened to me too. It takes a few weeks to go away.'
Others chimed in with their advice on how to wear the lip oil going forward.
'It's OIL, ladies. Put Vaseline on your lips or SPF first, then the oil, and you shouldn't be using it every day anyway. It's not lip gloss, it's lip oil,' a comment advised.
'If you aren't putting SPF on your lips, you are burning them up with oil,' another said.
One user wrote from experience, saying: 'Y'all, I got this too and all you need to do is buy some Aquaphor, Vaseline, chapstick, and moisturizing lip balms for about a month and you'll be good.'
A lip blush artist joined the mix of comments, arguing that the black color on the women's lips was 'temporary hyperpigmentation caused from the damage of UV rays mixed with the oil.'
'[Darker skin will] be the most prone to temporary and permanent hyperpigmentation, especially of the lips, when any sort of skin damage occurs. It's your body's natural trauma response.
'I HIGHLY suggest everyone use SPF-based lip products, but especially after the damage has occurred. It's important even when it's not sunny out!'

'Gas station heroin' is technically illegal and widely available. Here are the facts
Health officials want you to think twice before buying one of those brightly colored little bottles often sold at gas stations, convenience stores and smoke shops. Sometimes called 'gas station heroin,' the products are usually marketed as energy shots or cognitive supplements but actually contain tianeptine, an unapproved drug that can be addictive and carries risks of serious side effects. U.S. poison control centers have reported a steady rise in calls linked to the drug for more than a decade. And last month the Food and Drug Administration sent a warning to health professionals about 'the magnitude of the underlying danger or these products.' Here's what to know about gas station heroin. How are these products sold in the U.S.? Tianeptine is approved in a number foreign countries as an antidepressant, usually as a low-dose pill taken three times a day. But it has never been approved by the FDA for any medical condition in the U.S. Additionally, the drug cannot legally be added to foods and beverages or sold as a dietary supplement — something the FDA has repeatedly warned U.S. companies about. Still, under-the-radar firms sell tianeptine in various formulas, often with brand names like Zaza, Tianaa, Pegasus and TD Red. Although that is technically illegal, the FDA does not preapprove ingredients added to supplements and beverages. 'It's kind of this grey area of consumer products, or supplements, where the contents are not regulated or tested the way they would be with a medication,' said Dr. Diane Calello of the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System. Last year, Calello and her colleagues published a study documenting a cluster of emergency calls in New Jersey tied to a flavored elixir called Neptune's Fix. People experienced distress, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure and seizures after drinking it. More than a dozen of the 20 patients had to be admitted for intensive care. Why use these products? Many tianeptine products claim— without evidence or FDA approval— to help users treat medical conditions, including addiction, pain and depression. In 2018, the FDA issued a warning letter to the maker of a product called Tianna, which claimed to provide 'an unparalleled solution to cravings for opiates.' While tianeptine is not an opioid, the drug binds to some of the same receptors in the brain, which can temporarily produce effects akin to oxycodone and other opioids. Tianeptine also carries some of the same physiological risks of opioids, including the potential to dangerously depress breathing. 'That's what tends to get people into trouble,' said Dr. Hannah Hays of Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. 'They use it for opioid-like effects or to self-treat opioid withdrawal and that can lead to slow breathing and problems like that." People dealing with opioid addiction, pain, depression, anxiety and other conditions should see a health professional to get a prescription for FDA-approved treatments, Hays said. Is tianeptine use going up? Experts aren't sure but national figures show a big rise in emergency calls involving the drug. Calls to poison control centers increased 525% between 2018 and 2023, according to a data analysis published earlier this year. In about 40% of cases, the person had to seek medical care, with more than half of them needing critical care. One explanation for the rise in calls is simply that more Americans are using the products. But experts also say that the products are triggering more emergencies as they become more potent and dangerous. And the researchers in New Jersey who analyzed Neptune's Fix found that the liquid also contained synthetic cannabis and other drugs. 'You never quite know what's in that bottle," Calello said. 'It's important for people to know that even if they have used a product before, they could get a bottle that contains something very different from what they're looking for.' Are there policies that could reduce tianeptine use? Tianeptine is not included in the federal Controlled Substances Act, which bans or restricts drugs that have no medical use or have a high potential for abuse, such as heroin, LSD and PCP. But about a dozen states have passed laws prohibiting or restricting tianeptine, including Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Tennessee. In some cases, those laws have led to more cases of withdrawal among users of tianeptine, which can be chemically addictive. But state data also shows some success in reducing harm tied to the drug. Until recently, Alabama had the highest rate of tianeptine-related calls in the southern U.S., which increased more than 1,400% between 2018 to 2021. But after the state restricted tianeptine in 2021 calls began modestly decreasing while calls across other southern states continued to climb. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

I still breastfeed my three-year-old daughter - people say it's disturbing but it has saved her from stunted growth
A mother-of-two who breastfed her daughter up until she was three years old has hit back at criticism from trolls as she claims her decision has helped her child's development. Madison Simpson, who has documented her breastfeeding journey on TikTok, where she has more than 28,000 followers, has been told her approach is 'disturbing' and criticised for 'confusing' her daughter, Amaya. Known online as 'The Breastfeeding Momma', the 22-year-old, who appears to hail from the American South, advocates for 'extended breastfeeding'. Content creator Madison, who is from the US, posted a video of her blissfully breastfeeding her little girl earlier this year - when her daughter was approaching three - but it received a very negative reaction. One person commented: 'It's time to STOP! This is disturbing seeing how that child is bigger than you.' In the 30-second clip captioned 'Comfort nursing and bonding after the journey is over is okay too', Madison is holding Amaya in her arms and swaying to music as her daughter suckles on her breast. Amaya, who was born with Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IGR) weighed just over four pounds at birth and was expected to develop into a tiny child. Although Madison struggled to breastfeed her first child, son Amirion, she didn't have any issues with her daughter. And, at one month old, Amaya was already exceeding the growth expectations of her medical team, with Madison attributing her daughter's quick and impressive progress to breastfeeding. Madison, who is herself very petite, decided to continue in the same vein, nursing Amaya well beyond her second birthday - always breastfeeding and never giving her a bottle. The mother has also acknowledged that breastfeeding soothes her daughter, telling People that she puts Amaya 'on the boob and [lets] it be like a human pacifier.' TikTokers were largely unimpressed with Madison's video, with some vehemently opposed to her 'extended breastfeeding' approach. One person commented: 'It's time to STOP! This is disturbing seeing how that child is bigger than you.' Reacting to Amaya's height, which appears to be above average for a toddler, Another added: 'At that point you're nursing a whole child'. A third was especially judgmental, writing: 'Insecurity if a kid that age still needs a boobie for comfort. Clearly she has already developed food issues.' Referring to Amaya, a fourth said: 'Very confusing for her'. While a fifth person commented: 'She's a big girl. Does she eat solids or strictly breast milk?' One person, however, leapt to Madison's defence, adding: 'I am so sorry you are receiving such hateful comments. What a blessing it is to have given your baby three years'. Yet, unperturbed by all the negativity, Madison hit back at her detractors in a subsequent video posted on TikTok five days ago. She responded directly to US comedian and actor Brandon Trusso, who publicly mocked the young mother when he said: 'That is not a child. 'It has a 401 (k) plan and a reverse mortgage.' A 401 (k) plan is a type of retirement plan offered by US employers to their employees to help them save for when they've left the workforce. Madison strongly defended her choice when she said: '[Amaya] is three years old. 'I quit breastfeeding around four or five months ago and she is no longer breastfed. 'It doesn't look normal to you because I am literally the size of a 12-year-old. I am 4 feet 11 [and] 90 pounds soaking wet.' She went on to criticise Brandon for 'trying to down a mother for breastfeeding and giving away her body to a child.' Madison said: 'Do you know how many years of hard work and dedication that it took to breastfeed her?' The mother also noted in the video that it's normal in some countries to breastfeed up until seven. She ended the clip by pointing out that she helps 'a lot of moms' with her page - and that Brandon was also putting them down for breastfeeding their children. Madison then showed a picture of her daughter and said: 'Now does she look like she's off to college with a 401 (k) plan? She's three.'
