The Petroff Center developed the educational guide to help patients avoid substandard skin care products being sold by dishonest third-party vendors online
Portland, OR - May 5, 2016
The Petroff Center founded by board certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Mark Petroff in Portland, Oregon, has created a useful guide to help readers spot counterfeit skincare products being sold as the real product by third party vendors through online markets such as Amazon.com.
According to Dr. Petroff, unauthorized dealers are selling fake Obagi, Epionce, and SkinCeuticals products under assumed names to engage in a fraudulent practice called “diverting.” Diverting involves “selling goods intended for a specific market to another market, without the knowledge or permission of the primary vendor.”
Dr. Petroff believes that through education, everyone can put a stop to this fraudulent practice. The guide is geared towards providing more information on this issue to better inform patients. The quick and easy guide offers relevant information about diverting as well as telltale signs of a fake product. The educational content provides tips to help consumers protect themselves from counterfeits. You can read or download the infographic here.
To avoid purchasing counterfeit products, Dr. Petroff recommends reading more about “diverting” online and buying all skin care products from accredited dealers. All authorized dealers of beauty products, including the Petroff Center, adhere to strict code of ethics and standards to ensure only the highest quality products are being sold to consumers.
