Dermatologists warn about Sandra Bullock's hemorrhoid‑cream facial trick

Actress Sandra Bullock, 62, will return to cinemas in September 2026 with Nicole Kidman in the sequel to the 1998 film. Media attention has revived her earlier comment about using a hemorrhoid‑treatment ointment on the skin under the eyes to reduce puffiness and fine lines.

Dermatologists warn that the product is not designed for facial use, lacks clinical evidence for anti‑aging benefits, and can cause irritation, dryness, allergic reactions or other skin problems. They advise against applying hemorrhoid cream to the delicate periorbital area.

The story was reported in Hungarian and German outlets, sparking discussion about the safety of unconventional beauty tips.
