There are thousands of skincare sellers on Facebook, Instagram and marketplaces in Bangladesh — and many sell fakes. Before you trust any of them with your money (and your skin), run this 7-point checklist. A genuine shop passes all seven.
The 7-point checklist
1. Can they prove where the product came from? A trustworthy shop can show import/invoice proof. “Trust me, it’s original” is not proof. (See invoice-verified.)
2. Is there a verifiable batch code? You should be able to check it yourself. (See how to verify a batch code.)
3. Is the price realistic? Far-below-market prices mean fake, expired or grey-market. (See why too cheap is fake.)
4. Is there a real guarantee? Not just “return if unopened” — a genuine authenticity guarantee, like a 2× money-back promise.
5. One official store, or many random pages? Counterfeiters spin up disposable Facebook pages. (See Daraz & Facebook: real or fake.)
6. Do they list full ingredients and honest details? Transparency (INCI, expiry, sourcing) signals a real business.
7. How is it stored? Heat ruins actives — ask about storage. A serious shop uses climate-controlled storage.
A quick way to use this
If a seller fails even one of these — especially #1, #3 or #4 — don’t risk it. For a deeper walkthrough, see how to find a trusted skincare shop and the complete authenticity guide.
How TheSkinProof scores
TheSkinProof is built to pass all seven: invoice + batch verified, realistic pricing, a 2× money-back guarantee, one official store (theskinproof.com), full ingredient transparency, and climate-controlled storage. That’s the standard to hold every seller to. Browse verified products.
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.
