Quick answer
Who we are, why we sell only genuine in-date products, why our price is the real price of authentic skincare (not a markup over fakes and expired stock), and exactly how we verify every batch and product.
Want the authentic one? Every product on TheSkinProof is invoice-verified.
Why people trust us →Who We Are
The Skin Proof is Bangladesh's invoice-verified skincare marketplace. We started because too many people here buy "branded" serums online that turn out to be fakes — sometimes harmful ones. So we applied the same discipline used to test software to one simple promise: every product we sell is genuine, in-date, and traceable to its source. Thousands of customers now shop with us for that single reason — they don't have to gamble on whether what they bought is real.
The Problem We Exist to Solve
An estimated 86% of skincare sold online in Bangladesh is counterfeit. A fake "vitamin C" or "retinol" is, at best, inert — it does nothing. At worst it contains mercury, steroids, or industrial bleach. Lab-tested counterfeits here have shown mercury from 1,000 to over 40,000 ppm — the safe limit is 1 ppm. Expired stock is its own trap: the actives break down, the preservatives fail, and a product that was once genuine can now irritate or infect your skin. Online, "cheap and branded" very often means fake or near-expiry.
Why We Only Sell Authentic Products
We don't list a product until we can prove it's real — that's the entire company. When you buy from us, you get:
- A genuine product from a verified supply chain.
- An in-date product, with batch and expiry checked.
- A 2× money-back guarantee — if anything we sell is ever proven counterfeit, we refund double the price and cover return shipping.
That guarantee is only possible because we've already done the verification. We're not asking you to trust a promise — we're showing our work.
Our Price Is the Real Price — Not a High Price
This is the honest part. TheSkinProof prices genuine, in-date stock competitively against other authentic sellers — official brand outlets, authorised distributors and established importers. A counterfeit or expired product can be listed for almost nothing only because it costs almost nothing to source; it is not the same product, so it is not a price worth comparing against. Every order includes:
- Genuine product bought through legitimate, invoice-backed channels — not smuggled grey-market goods (the kind sold cheap through Chawkbazar-style wholesale) or refilled bottles.
- In-date stock — we don't dump expiring inventory on you at a discount.
- Verification — invoice audits, batch checks, and lab testing cost real money.
- The 2× guarantee — we can only stand behind it because the product is real.
A simple rule: if a "branded" product is dramatically cheaper than everywhere else, it is almost always fake, refilled, or close to expiry. With us you pay the real price and know exactly what you are putting on your skin. That difference isn't a markup on the product — it's the cost of certainty.
How We Verify Every Batch and Product
Authenticity doesn't start at delivery — it starts before a product is ever listed. Every item passes through the same gates:
- Source & seller verification. We check purchase invoices and supplier documentation. A seller cannot list a product without proving where it legitimately came from. Brand pages are admin-managed, not seller-edited, so no one can misrepresent a brand.
- Batch & expiry check. Every batch is logged with its batch number and expiry date. Near-expiry stock does not go on sale.
- Lab batch testing. Where possible, we batch-test samples with third-party labs — the same way you would test a suspicious product for mercury or steroids.
- Public batch verification. Each parcel carries a code you can check yourself, so authenticity isn't just our word.
- The 2× guarantee as a backstop. If all of that ever fails, you are protected — double your money back.

Frequently asked questions
Are all products on The Skin Proof genuine?
Yes. We do not list a product until its authenticity is verified — through purchase invoices, supplier documentation, batch and expiry checks, and third-party lab testing where possible. Every sale is backed by a 2× money-back guarantee if a product is ever proven counterfeit.
Why are your prices a little higher than some other online sellers?
Because we sell genuine, in-date products from verified, invoice-backed supply chains — not counterfeits or near-expiry stock, which are far cheaper to source. The price reflects authentic product, verification, and the 2× guarantee. If a "branded" product is dramatically cheaper elsewhere, it is almost always fake, refilled, or close to expiry.
How do you verify that a product is authentic?
Every product passes through five gates: source and seller verification (invoices and supplier documents), batch and expiry logging, third-party lab batch testing where possible, a public batch-verification code on each parcel, and the 2× money-back guarantee as a backstop.
How do I know a product is not expired?
Every batch is logged with its batch number and expiry date, and near-expiry stock is not put on sale. You can also verify your parcel using the code printed on it.
What happens if I receive a fake?
If a product we sold is proven counterfeit after inspection, we refund double (2×) the purchase price and cover return shipping.
What should I look for in product photos before ordering skincare online?
Check whether the seller shows their own clear photos of the label, batch code, and seal, not just promotional images copied from the brand. Blurry print or an odd color in the photos is worth asking about before you order.
What should I check before trusting a new skincare seller?
Ask whether the seller can show the importer invoice and batch number, and check that their return or money-back policy is clearly stated. TheSkinProof displays both of these on every product page so shoppers can verify before ordering.
