Popular beauty creams recalled after discovery of cancer-causing chemical

A recall has been issued for tens of thousands of beauty creams over fears that they are laced with a cancer-causing chemical.

Proactiv, which states on its website that it has more than 20 million customers worldwide, has recalled lots of its Emergency Blemish Relief cream and Skin Smoothing Exfoliator.

The creams were found to contain benzene, a known carcinogen linked to leukemia and blood cancers.
