Buying discounted sunscreen online? You might be getting a fake

Counterfeit sunscreen products sold online may lack a sunscreen filter, raising the risk of UV damage and skin cancer, doctors say.

Yes we all want the best deals and prices when it comes to getting our skincare on e-commerce marketplace. It'll put us in a good and satisfactory shopping mode when we manage to cart out at a much cheaper price than usual. But as we can't stress enough, can you really "guarantee the authenticity and efficacy" of products bought from other online sites or unauthorised retailers? 

According to a CNA's article dated on 24 Oct 2022, buying counterfeit sunscreen products can indeed increase the risk of UV damage and skin cancer. Dermaskinshop, under Neoasia is the only sole authorised distributor of Heliocare in Singapore. Users can purchase directly from us under Dermaskinshop Official Site & Dermaskinshop Official Shopee Mall. 

Users can also identify if the products they have purchased are authentic All Heliocare products come with a unique QR code that users can scan to verify their authenticity. 

If you are unsure about the authenticity, always check back with us and we'll be happy to advise.

Stay safe while shopping.
