The skincare market has
a trust problem.

You're spending $100, $200, even $400 on skincare. But who are you actually buying from? The internet made it impossible to tell.

Counterfeits are everywhere

Fake SkinCeuticals on Amazon has caused documented chemical burns. Grey market product is often stored improperly or past expiration. You have no way to know — until now.

Amazon 3P skincare listings cannot confirm authenticity

Google won't tell you

Search results for any premium skincare product mix authorized retailers, grey market sellers, and counterfeits — all presented identically. You're on your own.

Zero
Existing tools classify seller authorization status

You're overpaying

Authorized retailers run periodic approved sales and verified promotions. Most shoppers never find them because they go straight to the brand site or Amazon without knowing better options exist.

🏪 Founded by an Industry Insider
"I spent 15 years as an authorized retailer watching consumers get burned by counterfeits and overpay for products I knew were available cheaper — through legitimate channels."

SourceDerm was built by the co-founder of EDCskincare.com, one of the first authorized online skincare retailers, launched in 2008. With direct brand relationships across 150+ brands and 15 years inside the authorized retail system, the Trust Matrix is built from firsthand knowledge — not scraped data.

Direct Brand Relationships
Authorization agreements across medical grade, spa professional, mass prestige, DTC, and mass market categories.
Grey Market Expertise
Firsthand knowledge of which brands have counterfeit problems, which sellers are unauthorized, and how grey market distribution works.
Zero Bias Policy
Affiliate commissions never affect Trust Matrix classification. Rankings are based purely on authorization status and price.

Questions we actually
get asked.

Every brand's authorized retailer network is researched by our team — not an algorithm. For brands with public authorized retailer pages we cross-reference every seller against that list. For brands that don't publish public lists (common in medical grade skincare), classifications are based on the founder's 15 years of direct brand relationships. Amazon is handled separately — we check every listing to determine whether it's sold by Amazon directly (T4) or an unauthorized third party (T5 or T6).
SourceDerm earns affiliate commissions when you click through to a retailer and make a purchase. This never affects Trust Matrix classification or seller ordering. Sellers are ordered by Trust Tier first, then by net price within each tier. No seller can pay to improve their tier, remove a warning label, or gain preferential placement.
Authorization means the product came through an approved supply chain and is genuine — it does not guarantee any specific warranty or after-sale policy. Many skincare brands, particularly medical grade ones, do not offer consumer warranties regardless of where you purchase. What authorization guarantees is that the product is authentic and not a counterfeit or grey market diversion.
Both are unauthorized sellers. The difference is price variance. T5 sellers price within 20% of MSRP — product may be authentic but obtained through unauthorized channels. T6 sellers price more than 20% below MSRP — a pattern that correlates strongly with counterfeit product. We show both so you have complete information. We always recommend purchasing from T1 through T4 sellers.
Yes. SourceDerm is completely free to download and use. We earn affiliate commissions when you purchase through our links — this is how the app stays free while keeping the Trust Matrix completely unbiased. No premium tiers, no subscription, no ads.
