## Frequently asked questions

### How can I tell if sunscreen is counterfeit before using it?

Compare packaging print, seals, and batch code formatting with a genuine product or the brands site, verify the code if the brand offers it, and weigh the sellers history. Texture or scent that differs from a tube you know is a late but real warning.

### Does counterfeit sunscreen offer any protection at all?

Unpredictably, which is the problem. Some copies contain some filters at unknown strength; others contain none. You cannot know which you have, so the rated SPF should be treated as absent and the product replaced.

### Why is sunscreen faked more in summer?

Demand spikes, popular products sell out, and buyers hunt for any available stock at any price. Counterfeiters time supply to shortages. Buying early in the season from authorised sellers avoids the scarcity market entirely.

### What should I do if I used a fake sunscreen and burned?

Treat the burn normally, note the product and seller, and report both to the brand and the platform with photos. If you bought it as genuine, claim as counterfeit goods. Medical advice matters more than the refund if the burn is severe.
