The unlicensed drug is dangerous, dermatologists say, and there is evidence the untested products may be linked to skin cancer. The Advertising Standards Agency says all influencers must act responsibly, including ensuring products and the companies they link to are not acting illegally. Please subscribe HERE #BBCNews
