The Challenge

As the brand became popular, FOREO started to experience more and more counterfeit goods online, leading not only to financial losses but more importantly it started to negatively impact consumers’ trust.

The Result

Since using Red Points, FOREO has managed to take down over 116,214 listings and more than $176.6 million worth of counterfeits – representing a success rate of 94%.
For FOREO their customers’ happiness and trust comes first. Thanks to Red Points’ solution and support in mitigating the impact of online counterfeiters, the innovative tech beauty brand was able to regain consumers’ and retailers’ trust whilst increasing revenue and strengthening their brand online.

FOREO
FOREO, one of the world’s most popular beauty tech brands, and the maker of the iconic LUNA mini 2 facial brush was founded in 2013, in Sweden. Its founder, Filip Sedic, came up with the idea whilst shopping with his wife and seeing her struggle to find effective skincare cleansing products.

Over time, Filip developed the idea for the LUNA range of products and in six years they grew from two employees at their Swedish headquarters to over 3.000 people worldwide.

Counterfeits causing loss of consumer trust

The counterfeits found online were affecting FOREO’s brand reputation tremendously with consumers losing trust in the brand and faith in obtaining a legitimate, high-quality FOREO product.
