The Counterfeit The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane (30ml) Problem in Pakistan
The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane (30ml) by The Ordinary is one of Pakistan's highest-volume beauty essentials. Due to massive consumer demand, unauthorized markets in Shah Alam Market (Lahore) and Bolton Market (Karachi) manufacture dangerous counterfeit copies formulated with non-sterile tap water, cheap industrial mineral oils, unregulated chemical dyes, and harsh detergents.
Using fake cosmetic replicas can permanently disrupt your skin acid mantle, trigger acute allergic contact dermatitis, induce cystic acne flares, and expose your skin to heavy metal toxicity. Purchasing verified 100% original skincare from trusted platforms like BigBasket.pk ensures clinical safety and guaranteed results.
