Review Authenticity & Fraud Prevention Policy
At BreakoutLabs, we believe in the power of real customer experiences. Our mission is to help people stop guessing with skincare and start testing with science — and that same commitment to truth guides how we handle reviews.
Our Standards for Authentic Reviews
We welcome honest feedback from verified customers. All reviews on our platform must:
- Come from individuals who have purchased or used BreakoutLabs products
- Reflect genuine personal experiences
- Be free from profanity, threats, or discriminatory language
- Not contain spam, promotional content, or affiliate links
What We Consider Fraudulent or Spam Reviews
We actively monitor for and remove:
- Fake reviews: Submissions from individuals who have not purchased our products
- Incentivized reviews: Reviews offered in exchange for compensation (unless properly disclosed)
- Competitor manipulation: Reviews posted by competing brands to harm our reputation
- Bot-generated content: Automated or AI-written reviews
- Duplicate reviews: Multiple submissions from the same customer
- Irrelevant content: Reviews unrelated to product performance or customer experience
How We Detect Fraud
Our fraud detection system includes:
- Cross-referencing reviews with verified purchase data
- Automated pattern detection (suspicious timing, duplicate language, IP tracking)
- Manual review by our customer experience team
- Third-party review platform verification (if applicable)
- Community reporting tools
Our Moderation Process
