How to Report Counterfeit Products
If you’ve ever thought:
“Parang fake ‘to.”
or
“Bakit iba ‘yung amoy, label, or effect?”
You’re not overthinking it.
Counterfeit supplements are real, and reporting them matters.
Here’s the clear, step-by-step CEO guide on how to report fake glutathione products safely and correctly.
1. Why Reporting Counterfeit Products Is Important
Fake supplements are not just “sayang pera.”
They can be dangerous.
Counterfeit glutathione products may contain:
•
Underdosed or zero active ingredient
•
Unsafe synthetic fillers
•
Contaminants or heavy metals
•
Incorrect mg labeling
•
Harsh or untested chemicals
Reporting helps:
•
Protect your health
•
Protect other Filipinas
•
Remove fake sellers from platforms
•
Hold brands and sellers accountable
Glow should never come at the cost of safety.
2. Common Signs a Product May Be Counterfeit
Before reporting, check for red flags:
🚩
No FDA registration number (FR#)
🚩
Misspelled words on the label
🚩
Very cheap price (₱100–₱250 for “500 mg”)
🚩
No manufacturer address
🚩
No batch or lot number
🚩
Unrealistic claims (“instant whitening,” “4 shades in 7 days”)
🚩
Different capsule smell, color, or size vs official photos
🚩
Sold by random resellers, not an official store
If you see two or more of these, report it.
3. Step-by-Step: How to Report Counterfeit Glutathione Products
A. Report to the Philippine FDA
You can report suspected fake supplements directly to the FDA.
Prepare these details:
•
Product name
•
Brand name
•
Seller name
•
Platform where you bought it
•
Photos of the product and label
•
FDA FR# (or note if missing)
You can submit reports through FDA Philippines’ consumer reporting channels.
This helps regulators investigate and take action.
B. Report on the Selling Platform
If you bought from Shopee, TikTok Shop, or Lazada:
•
Go to Order Details
•
Select Report Product / Report Seller
•
Choose “Counterfeit / Fake / Misleading Product”
•
Upload clear photos and explanation
Platforms take counterfeit reports seriously, especially when supported by evidence.
C. Report Directly to the Brand (Brand Verification)
Trusted brands want to know if fakes exist.
Ishin Beauty provides Brand Verification tools on its official website so customers can:
•
Check if a product is authentic
•
Confirm FDA registration
•
Verify packaging details
•
Report suspicious sellers
If a product claiming to be Ishin does not pass brand verification, report it immediately.
Brand verification protects the entire glow community.
4. Why Brand Verification Matters More Than Ever
Fake products copy:
•
Logos
•
Bottle design
•
Product names
But they cannot copy:
•
Verified batch details
•
Official distribution channels
This is why Ishin encourages customers to buy only from official stores and to use brand verification tools before trusting a product.
5. What Happens After You Report
When you report a counterfeit product:
•
Platforms may remove the listing
•
Sellers may be investigated or banned
•
FDA may issue warnings or recalls
•
Brands can warn other customers
Your report helps prevent harm beyond just you.

At Ishin, we built brand verification because safety is non-negotiable.
Glow should be built on trust, transparency, and real science.
