Short-form YouTube video by Shereene Idriss showing a purchased K-Beauty sunscreen from Amazon that the presenter identifies as counterfeit. Using a UV camera, the presenter demonstrates that authentic sunscreen appears black under UV (blocks UV) while the purchased product appears clear, and warns viewers about suspicious Amazon retailers and health/money risks from counterfeit sunscreens.

I bought a K Beauty sunscreen off of Amazon and you can clearly tell it's fake. What the. I'm going to show you how you can tell and how not to get scammed next time you want to buy some kind of beauty product off of Amazon. This is meant to protect our skin. And if you're not protecting your skin, you're not only wasting money, but you're also putting your own skin and health at risk. Under a UV camera, sunscreen appears black, showing the areas where UV light is blocked. But this sunscreen turns up as clear, meaning it's not a sunscreen. I noticed that something seemed off with this one because the retailer off of Amazon didn't seem legit.
