our expertise
beyond the product listing

For years, the Glou Marketplace set the highest bar for beauty resale. How? Through a meticulous, data-driven approach we developed in-house. 

Now, we're pulling back the curtain. We'll show you the exact variables we've been accounting for to decide whether a listing met our stringent standards, so you can become an expert in identifying quality pre-owned beauty.

• Product Condition & Usage: How to assess if a beauty product is truly "new" or has been used, and how to spot subtle signs.

• Shelf Life & Stability: Understanding PAO (Period After Opening) and expiry dates, and factors affecting product degradation.

• Brand & Product Reputability: Focusing on premium/prestige best-selling beauty brands.

• Seller Reliability Indicators: What makes a seller trustworthy (e.g., clear photos, detailed descriptions).

• Red Flags: Common scams, signs of tampering, and what to avoid. 

We believe knowledge is power. By sharing our framework, we're not just guiding you; we're empowering you to be a discerning and confident secondhand beauty shopper, making sustainable choices every step of the way.
