Moisturizing Lotions and Acne Products

While these products are not intended to be ingested, most moisturizing lotions are only mildly irritating to the stomach if enough is swallowed. Acne treatment products contain a variety of ingredients that can potentially cause toxicity if enough is swallowed. Many come in tubes that can be confused with toothpaste.

The Cincinnati Drug and Poison Information Center (DPIC) provides information about when to call your local poison control center and first aid emergency action.
