Real vs Fake: Exposing Counterfeit Skin Care

from DermFx: The Ultimate Podcast Experience · host Erin Alonso, MSN, FNP

Don’t get duped — this episode could save your skin (literally). Host Erin Alonso, MSN, FNP, teams up with Amber Johnson, founder of Facial Lounge, to expose the shady underworld of counterfeit skincare. Erin recently purchased what appeared to be SkinMedica’s TNS Advanced+ Serum for just $64 on eBay (real price: $295 😳) — and let’s just say... the results were wild.  From nearly identical packaging to subtle red flags you’d never notice unless you’re an expert, this experiment proves that fake products are getting harder and harder to spot. Could you be using knockoff skincare or makeup without even realizing it? You won’t believe what might be lurking in your beauty bag.  🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, and YouTube.
