How to Spot Fake Skincare in Ghana — and Shop Safely

Counterfeit CeraVe, COSRX and The Ordinary are common in Ghana — and fakes can irritate skin or simply do nothing. Here's how to protect yourself.

Check the packaging

Look for crisp printing, correct fonts and a visible batch number. Blurry labels, off colours or missing batch codes are red flags.

Check the texture and smell

Real formulas have a consistent texture and a neutral or expected scent. Anything overly perfumed, watery or off usually isn't genuine.

Check where you're buying

The safest fix is to buy from a seller that sources through legitimate channels. That's exactly why Nwonane exists — every product is 100% authentic, full stop.
