buying beauty resale
What to Know Before You Click "Add to Cart"
Shopping secondhand beauty is a smart way to save money and reduce waste—but it does come with a few buyer “bewares.” At Glou, we’ve reviewed thousands of listings and helped buyers avoid the most common pitfalls.
What to Watch Out for:
⚠️ Sellers with no product photos or show only generic stock images
⚠️ No proof of authenticity (e.g. receipt, batch code, PR packaging)
⚠️ Products that are discontinued for years
⚠️ Claims like “lightly used” with no hygiene disclosure
⚠️ Unrealistic pricing for hard-to-find items
