In March 2014, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed her false advertising class-action lawsuit against Cosmetic Dermatology, Inc, makers of “Dr. Brandt’s Pores No More Mattifying Lotion.” The complaint, which was originally filed in 2013, alleged that, among other things, the company markets the lotion as “oil free” when it actually contains at least three oils.
