Sounds too silly for me. You're born the way you are and if it's that easy to fix things you don't like then it steals depth from my point of view.
The description uses the expression "Legend says". If it's something readily available, it wouldn't be a legend. So it's probably not going to be canonically easily obtainable, even if from a gameplay persepective it is. Also, by the wording, I think it's implied you don't necessarily wake up as the person you want. So you might end up even worse or ugler than you were.
I do not think we are going to have to worry about hordes of players using this IC, in any case.
It will be interesting to see people pondering about the implications that such a draught is possible, though.
