Is this sold legally? The tanning salon girl today told me that it was illegal to buy/sell this on Amazon - only licensed distributors are allowed.

Online sellers buy from the same distributors as Salons. I happen to partner with a Salon and sell to some as well. Our feedback ratings speak for themselves as we sell ten's of thousands of bottles monthly. Everyone has their opinions but Amazon would not let us sell "fake" products.

Mine seemed to be brand new and sealed. Does your friend work at a tanning salon? That might be why she said that.

On SkinMedica's site they have a list of unauthorized sellers. They state they do not sell to the listed vendors. One has to question a product produced in Hong Kong when it is suppose to be made in the USA. An expiration date should be listed in the description. I too love bargains, but there should be uniform packaging displayed in the various listings and I just don't see it. For those reasons I just can't purchase any Skin Medica products on Amazon.

As far as I know, no seller should be able to sell for less than $59.95. So technically this seller is selling the product at an illegal rate. The product is amazing so I'm glad it is getting into the hands of more people, however, they should not be selling this product for less than the retail price. You can purchase at wholesale price from the company if you are signed up as a preferred customer, but you can't sell it for less than the retail price. You can't have the transition coaching unless you sign up as a distributor or pay $35 a month to the 3rd party coaching company (micronutrientsupport.com). Not sure why this is allowed. It is killing our business where we actually keep the rules and sell it at retail price. That's why I'm frustrated.

I was responding to the product in general, not the specific Amazon purchase. To be honest, the Amazon purchase came broken and I returned it. The product I was using came from a salon for $60. The box has lot# 44K44P (or F - bad near vision).

If you look on product pages for other salon products on Amazon you will see at the bottom of the feature highlights something like "68 new from $29.46" This means there are 68 sellers selling the exact same product. At any one time one of those sellers has the "Buy Box", meaning that when you click the Add to Cart button, one of those 68 the sellers is going to get the order. Any one of those sellers could be a Chinese company selling counterfeit products that look exactly like the real thing as far as package design, but what's inside could be very dangerous. If you notice on the Vizeri Beauty products, there are only two sellers. One is directly from our warehouse, and the other comes directly from inventory we shipped to Amazon. At no point should there any other sellers involved since we distribute our products directly. So there is no chance for counterfeits to enter the distribution path. If at any point there are more than two sellers on this product, make sure you buy directly from Vizeri Beauty and not the other seller (Other sellers could temporarily leach on to our listing at which point we will have to take legal action against them).

I have not purchased this product from Amazon so I cannot verify its legitimacy. However, just to be clear, SkinCeuticals' website warns consumers that Amazon is NOT one of their authorized online retailers, meaning "the product(s) may be diluted, expired or counterfeit." If I'm going to splurge on a product, I want to have the seller's authenticity guarantee.

Thanks for the question. This product is sold by an individual seller on our website. It's important to note that pricing for seller items are determined by the individual seller, and not by amazon. Have a nice day!

The product I received was entirely sealed, never been opened. I suppose there's no way you could know for sure other than to try it but compared to the $100+ you would spend trying to purchase this from a tanning salon isn't it well worth the risk? The product I got works amazing.

Amazon sells the item from different suppliers. You have to verify whether it is Amazon itself or a secondary provider supplier during purchase. Mine was sold and shipped from Amazon itself. Read everything before buying. Not everything is sold by Amazon itself. I can not emphasize enough. regards

I am agree with 1st answer by PsychoTrixie. I am regular tanner and always looking for better tanning products, it worked quite well. I am satisfied. At this moment it is my NO1.

If they sell it as new on Amazon, I doubt it'd be used. Amazon isn't like Ebay, they are pretty straight with their business partners about shady stuff like this.

I imagine the only way to tell if a product is for real is if the seller is reputable, hard to do. I prefer Amazon as the seller over private vendors since there is recourse in case of fraud. I have bought products before from outside vendors that are sealed and have not been suspicious. Sometimes vendors are cheaper since they have products they didn't use or get free samples. I do like skinceuticals so good luck !

Hello, Thanks for posting! This item is sold by a marketplace seller. Sellers on our website are allowed to sell items at any price they feel is fair. However, we do have rules sellers must follow:

well, selling Herbalife products on amazon is in direct violation of distributor policy, and these people doing it should have their memberships terminated, mainly because these products REQUIRE guidance in order to be used successfully. this is where us real health coaches come in, we build programs that are specific to the individuals needs and offer 24/7 support and guidance. not to mention the free meal plans, workouts and recipes

Hello Redeye Dog,iSmooth has committed to allowing a few authorized third-party sellers sell their products on Amazon.com. Anyone that "sells by (insert name here) and ships from Amazon" will be honored, but there are only two authorized distributors as far as I know. Also, Amazon.com sells iSmooth products now too (meaning they "ship and sell from Amazon.com." Those are the most secure to purchase.I hope that helps. If you have any further questions, please email us at support@ismooth.com directly.Thank you.
