Fluperolone acetate [USAN] is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Fluperolone acetate is a fluorinated synthetic corticosteroid related to prednisolone, featuring a 21-acetate ester and 6-alpha-fluoro substitution conferring enhanced anti-inflammatory potency. Corticosteroids are among the most stringently restricted substance categories in cosmetics — they are classified as substances with pharmacological action (Article 14 of EU Regulation 1223/2009) and have no legitimate cosmetic use. Topical corticosteroid adverse effects include skin atrophy, striae, telangiectasia, and systemic absorption leading to HPA axis suppression.
Known concerns
- Synthetic corticosteroid — prohibited substance with pharmacological action
- Skin atrophy and thinning with topical use
- Systemic HPA axis suppression risk
- Telangiectasia and striae formation risk
- No safe cosmetic use — EU cosmetics prohibition applies
