The DARK side of FAKE products: Part II

In Part 2 of this eye-opening series, Erin Alonso, MSN, FNP and founder of DermFx, is back with Amber from Facial Lounge—and things get even wilder. Erin shows Amber just how disgustingly easy it is to order counterfeit Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid filler off the internet and inject unknown substances straight into your face… all in the name of saving a few bucks. The worst part? Even licensed doctors are buying and using this sketchy stuff on their patients. Still wondering why that Groupon Botox is only $5? We’ve got answers—and you’re not going to like them. 

From dangerous DIY chemical peels to cringe-worthy Brazilian wax fails (seriously, ouch), Erin and Amber break down the biggest beauty shortcuts that are landing people in the ER or worse. 

And if you think your skincare haul from Amazon is the real deal… think again. They uncover the sneaky world of counterfeit skincare and why spotting a fake is nearly impossible—even for the pros. 

This episode is your official PSA: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
