Daraz and Facebook are convenient — but for skincare they’re risky, because anyone can list a product and call it original. A single marketplace listing can have ten different sellers, some genuine, some selling first-copies. Here’s how to protect yourself.
Why these channels are risky
- No supply-chain proof. Most sellers can’t show an importer invoice.
- Mixed inventory. One product page, many sellers — you don’t control who ships yours.
- Fake reviews & ratings are easy to buy.
- No real recourse if the product turns out fake.
Red flags before you buy
1. Price far below everyone else (the #1 sign of a fake).
2. No batch code, or a code that won’t verify.
3. Stock photos only, no real packaging shots.
4. Seller can’t answer “where did this come from?”
5. “No return” or vague guarantee.
If you already bought from there
Verify the batch code on TheSkinProof’s free Product Checker, inspect the seal and printing, and patch-test before full use. If it’s a banned or mercury cream, stop immediately (see banned products in Bangladesh).
How TheSkinProof is different
TheSkinProof is not a marketplace of random sellers. We sell only at theskinproof.com, every product is invoice-verified and batch-checked before shipping, reviews are tied to real data, and you get a 2× money-back guarantee if anything is proven counterfeit. No mixed inventory, no guessing.
Skip the risk — shop verified skincare at The Skin Proof.
Before you buy: check authenticity, not price
Don’t chase the cheapest product — look for the authentic one. A cheap fake can damage your skin, and using nothing at all does less harm than using a counterfeit. But a high price doesn’t guarantee authenticity either — people overpay for fakes too. So judge by authenticity, not price.
TheSkinProof offers free authenticity verification. Message our Facebook page with the product and we’ll analyze it and tell you whether it’s real or fake — so it’s important to verify before you buy anything. Or simply buy from TheSkinProof, where every product is already invoice-verified with a 2× money-back guarantee.
