Are Sasa Products Authentic? Buying The Ordinary in Singapore 2026

Sa Sa says it guarantees 100% authenticity on what it sells, and it has been a member of Hong Kong's No Fakes Pledge since 2005, according to its own About page. Sa Sa was established in 1978, has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 1997 and carries more than 600 brands, it says. In Singapore in 2026, you buy from its online store, sasa.com, which also lists The Ordinary.

That answers the trust question in one line. The practical questions take longer: what happens if the box looks different, how returns work from Singapore, who to contact, and where else The Ordinary is sold here. This page goes through each one, using Sa Sa's and The Ordinary's own pages at the time of writing.

ShopBack Singapore is a free app and website. Before you check out on sasa.com or another beauty store, open the store's page on ShopBack, tap through, and part of what you spend comes back to you as Cashback. Join ShopBack Singapore free.

Are Sasa products authentic?

Sa Sa states on its About page that it offers "100% Authenticity Guaranteed" and has been part of Hong Kong's No Fakes Pledge for over 20 consecutive years. Here are the facts it publishes about itself:

What you want to know	What Sa Sa says	Source
Founded	1978, starting from a small cosmetics counter	Sa Sa, About us
Listing	Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong since 1997, stock code 178	Sa Sa, About us
Authenticity	"100% Authenticity Guaranteed"; No Fakes Pledge member since 2005	Sa Sa, About us
Range	More than 600 brands, over 120 of them own brands or exclusive international brands	Sa Sa, About us
Product quality	Takes "exceptional care" that everything it sells is the genuine article	Sa Sa, FAQ
Shelf life	At least 6 months of lifespan on cosmetics and skincare, except clearance items and products with natural ingredients	Sa Sa, FAQ

Sa Sa also explains why its prices can sit below other shops. According to its FAQ, it uses global purchasing and buys in large quantities, and cosmetics brands set different prices in different countries. That is a normal way for a big beauty retailer to buy stock.

Other places Singapore shoppers buy skincare and make-up online include Sephora, Lookfantastic, Cult Beauty, Watsons and Guardian.

Sasa Singapore: how ordering works in 2026

Singapore shoppers order from Sasa Global eShop at sasa.com, which ships internationally and lets you set Singapore as your region. A few details from Sa Sa's FAQ are worth knowing before your first order:

• Currency. Sa Sa's FAQ says the eshop charges in US dollars. If your card is in Singapore dollars, your bank converts the amount, so the final charge can differ slightly from the figure on screen.
• Dispatch. Most orders ship within 1 to 2 business days after payment is verified, and you get a dispatch email with a tracking link.
• Payment. Sa Sa lists AMEX, Apple Pay, Google Pay, JCB, PayPal, Mastercard and Visa.
• Cancelling. You can ask to cancel within 120 minutes of placing an order. After that, Sa Sa says it does not accept cancellations, and it does not accept changes to items or address.
• Address. P.O. boxes, parcel lockers and hotel addresses are not accepted, according to Sa Sa.
• Duties and taxes. Sa Sa's FAQ says you are the importer of record and any import duties, taxes or customs charges are yours to pay.

One rule to take seriously: give a delivery address that works. Sa Sa's FAQ says that if a parcel comes back as undeliverable, the refund deducts the original shipping fee, a handling fee and 25% of the value of the products.

Sa Sa REWARDS Club

Sa Sa's own member programme is free, and points can be used like cash in the cart. According to its FAQ, you become a Regular member as soon as you sign up, and you reach VIP with a single spend of US$150 or US$200 within 3 months. VIP members get year-round discounts and more coupons, and points expire 365 days after you earn them. Sa Sa says you can redeem points or apply a REWARDS coupon on an order, not both.

Why your Sa Sa packaging may look different

Different packaging does not by itself mean a product is fake. Sa Sa's FAQ says brands and their agents often vary packaging from country to country, and because Sa Sa sources from around the world, what you receive may not match the box sold in Singapore shops. It also says sample sizes come in assorted packaging.

If something still looks wrong, such as a damaged seal or a product that is not what you ordered, Sa Sa asks you to inspect your order on arrival and contact it right away with the details.

Sasa reviews, complaints and refunds in Singapore (2026)

Most complaints about any online beauty store fall into the same few groups: delivery time, customs charges, damaged items and refund speed. Sa Sa publishes how it handles each one.

Sa Sa's official refund policy and customer service

According to Sa Sa's refund policy, you have 30 days after receiving an item to request a return. The item must be in the condition you received it, unused, in its original packaging, with a receipt or proof of purchase. You start the return by emailing [email protected] or using live chat, and items sent back without an approved return request are not accepted.

Situation	What Sa Sa says
Return window	30 days after you receive the item
Condition	Unused, in original packaging, with proof of purchase
Not returnable	Sale items and gift cards; the policy also lists some personal care goods as exceptions, so check your item
Damaged, defective or wrong item	Contact Sa Sa right away; it refunds the product value to your original payment method, and the return shipping fee as a sasa.com e-coupon
Promo codes and free gifts	Return them together with the item, or the gift's original price is deducted
Refund timing	Within 10 business days of approval, then your bank's own processing time

Customer service. Sa Sa's Contact Us page lists hours of 9am to 6pm Hong Kong time, Monday to Sunday. Hong Kong and Singapore share the same time zone, so those are Singapore hours too. You can email [email protected], use live chat on sasa.com, or send the contact form.

Sasa reviews on Trustpilot

Read Trustpilot and other review sites for patterns, not as a verdict. People who had a problem are more likely to post than people whose parcel simply arrived, so a review page skews towards complaints. Look for repeated issues that matter to you, such as how long Singapore deliveries took or how refunds were handled, and compare them with Sa Sa's written policy above.

Where can I buy The Ordinary in Singapore?

You can buy The Ordinary in Singapore from the brand's own website, which offers Singapore as a shopping location, and from online beauty stores that list the brand, including Sa Sa and Cult Beauty at the time of writing. The Ordinary is made by DECIEM, and its website also has a store locator for finding stockists near you.

Where	What to know at the time of writing
The Ordinary's own site	Lets you pick Singapore as your location; runs its own promotions with their own terms
Sa Sa (sasa.com)	Lists The Ordinary products, such as Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% in 30ml
Cult Beauty	Has a The Ordinary brand page with a bestsellers range; check delivery to Singapore at checkout
Sephora	A beauty store on ShopBack Singapore; search its site for the exact item and size
Lookfantastic	A beauty store on ShopBack Singapore; search its site for the exact item and size

The quickest route: decide on the product and size first, then check two or three of these stores for the same item.

The Ordinary in Singapore: best deals in 2026

The best deal on The Ordinary is the lowest final total for the exact product and size you want, after delivery and after ShopBack. The Ordinary is already priced as an everyday skincare brand, so the savings usually come from how and when you buy rather than from a big markdown.

1. Fix the item and size. A 30ml and a 60ml bottle are not the same deal, so compare like with like.
2. Check the delivery threshold. A small order can cost more in delivery than it saves, so build one basket rather than several.
3. Time it around sales. Singapore's big online shopping dates, such as 11.11, 12.12 and Black Friday, are when many beauty stores run their own sales. Check each store's own page for current offers.
4. Compare the price after ShopBack, not the sticker price. Two stores with the same sticker price can end up at different totals once you go through ShopBack.
5. Go through ShopBack Singapore before you check out, and finish the order.

Sephora vs Lookfantastic for The Ordinary: price comparison in 2026

Neither store is cheaper on every The Ordinary product, so compare the same item on the same day. Both are worth checking, and each has its own strengths:

• Final total: add delivery and any fees, then compare.
• Member perks: Sephora runs its own Beauty Pass membership, which our Sephora membership guide covers. Sign in before you compare so any member pricing shows.
• Sale timing: our guide to the next Sephora sale in Singapore lists the dates to watch.
• After ShopBack: check the rate on each store's ShopBack page, then compare the effective price.

Sephora, Lookfantastic and Cult Beauty for The Ordinary in Singapore

Start from ShopBack Singapore's Sephora page or ShopBack Singapore's Cult Beauty page, and check ShopBack Singapore's Lookfantastic page too. If you also want Asian skincare brands in the same basket, ShopBack Singapore's Sasa page takes you to sasa.com.

How to pay less on a Sa Sa or The Ordinary order in Singapore

For merchants like Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia, going through ShopBack is an essential step before you book or check out, so you pay less on the same booking or order. Beauty orders work the same way. Open ShopBack Singapore's Sasa page, or the Sephora or Cult Beauty page, tap through, and finish the order on the store's website.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Your effective price is what you pay minus the Cashback, at the rate shown on the store's ShopBack page.

Sa Sa's own offers and codes

Sa Sa runs its own sales and a Flash Sale section on sasa.com, and REWARDS members get coupons and points. No code is needed for Cashback: go through ShopBack before you pay.

4. Order carefully. You only have 120 minutes to cancel.
5. Go through ShopBack Singapore first. Open ShopBack Singapore's Sasa page, tap through, and check out on sasa.com.
