Frequently asked questions
Is Korean skincare (K-beauty) authentic in Bangladesh?
K-beauty is hugely popular here — and exactly where counterfeits concentrate. Buy from a verified seller. On TheSkinProof every Korean product is batch-code checked against the importer invoice with a 2× money-back guarantee.
What is a good basic Korean skincare routine?
Cleanse, hydrate (toner/essence like snail mucin), moisturize, and finish with sunscreen in the morning. Add a treatment (vitamin C or BHA) as needed. Tailor it to Bangladesh’s humidity with lightweight layers.
Where can I buy authentic K-beauty brands in Bangladesh?
Buy from a seller who can show the product's import invoice and batch number. TheSkinProof is an invoice-verified marketplace that checks K-beauty brands like COSRX and Beauty of Joseon before listing them.
Can Korean text on the packaging reveal a counterfeit?
Genuine products print Korean text with correct spelling and a clean font, while counterfeits sometimes show distorted or misspelled Hangul. Blurry or oddly shaped Korean characters are a sign to look closer at the rest of the packaging.
