The skincare industry is largely self-regulated, which means it is very difficult for skin care brands and providers to ensure that all products on the market are legitimate. It can be incredibly dangerous to use skincare products when you are unsure of its origins, and more specifically, its ingredients. Fortunately, medical grade skin care products are much more transparent. Below, we’ll tell you what you need to know for your safety and skincare shopping.
Avoid Third Party Vendors
Popular skin care brands like ZO® Skin Health and Neocutis® can only be distributed by authorized providers. Furthermore, these products are only available through a physician’s office. If you are shopping online for skincare items of these brands, and see them available elsewhere, that’s a red flag. First, you don’t know if these products are legitimate. Receiving counterfeit or imitation skincare products can be terribly dangerous, as they might damage your skin. Furthermore, you have no way to know the condition of the products unless you buy them from a trusted source. If the skincare products are used, tampered with or otherwise damaged, you might be purchasing a product that isn’t in a condition to be sold in the first place. Finally, you need to consider how the products are held. Skincare products are unique because their ingredients require them to be stored in very specific conditions. When you buy these products from unreliable vendors, there’s no way to guarantee the product has been properly stored, and therefore, you might find that the quality of the product has been compromised.
