Testimonial Faces and Customer Photos: What They Show
The image set includes testimonial faces and customer photos supplied by the vendor, with sample names. We could not match them to real orders, so we do not present them as verified customers. An unnamed face with a quote is a design element, and the FTC bans fake reviews and testimonials.

The basics01
What photos come with the product?
The image set supplied with the product includes several portrait photos of men, labelled as testimonials, and a set of customer-style photos with sample names attached.
They are friendly, well lit and look like stock or styled portraits. The set also includes a mobile screenshot of testimonials. None comes with an order number, a date or a way to contact the person pictured.
That is the whole problem. A photo of a smiling man is a design element, and the quote beside it is only as reliable as its source.
The evidence02
What does the FTC say?
The FTC's rule bans fake reviews and testimonials, including AI-generated ones, and undisclosed insider reviews (FTC, Rule banning fake reviews). Its consumer advice warns that fake endorsements often use doctored photos and videos, and suggests searching the product online with words like scam or complaints (FTC, Fake endorsements).
A testimonial is lawful if it comes from a real customer who really used the product and says what they truly think. The burden is on whoever publishes it to show it is real.
The numbers03
Verified or decorative
| Needed | In the supplied photos |
|---|---|
| Full consent from the person | Not shown |
| Match to a real order | None |
| Date and dose of use | None |
| Disclosure of any payment or free product | None |
| Result measured, not only felt | None |
The catch04
What we do here
We do not present the photos as verified customers. Where a photo appears in a review card slot, the card is marked as a slot to fill after an order is matched, and the photo is labelled as supplied by the vendor. Faces that carry no sample quote and no order are left out.
The reviews page explains the process in full. We prefer an empty slot to a faked review, because an empty slot is honest and a faked one is not.
Safety05
Why do testimonials fail as health evidence?
Because they are chosen. A seller shows the best, not the average, and the unhappy ones do not appear. They also report feelings, not measurements, over a short time, with no control group. The FTC says testimonials alone do not meet the evidence standard for a health claim (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance).
That is not to doubt that some men feel better. It is to say that feeling better is what a trial is built to test, with a placebo group, and the testimonial cannot do that.
What to do06
How to spot a fake testimonial
- The photo appears on other sites under other names. A reverse image search shows it.
- The name is only a first name and an initial, with a vague city.
- The wording matches other testimonials, with the same phrases.
- All the stories improve fast and end in praise.
- There is no date, no dose, no detail about use.
One flag is weak. Several together suggest the testimonials were written, not collected.
On the label07
How a real review gets verified
A seller or review platform matches the review to an order, checks the name and address, asks for consent and publishes the date. The reviewer can be contacted. The reviews page shows the fields we would fill, including name, city, age, date, pack and day of use, once the seller supplies real ones.
FAQ08
Prostadine questions people ask
Are the testimonial photos on the Prostadine pages real customers?
We cannot confirm it. The photos came in the vendor image set without orders or dates. We do not present them as verified customers.
Is a testimonial legal if the customer is real?
Yes, if it reflects their honest experience and any payment or free product is disclosed. The FTC bans fake and undisclosed insider testimonials.
How can I check if a photo is stock?
Run a reverse image search. If the same face appears on unrelated sites under different names, it is probably a stock or reused photo.
Why does this site leave review slots empty?
Because an open slot is honest, and a made-up review is not. Slots will be filled only from reviews matched to a real order.
