The "4.98/5, 2,000+ Reviews" Figure: A Direct Look

This formula's own materials display a "4.98/5" average rating based on "2,000+ reviews" — worth checking the direct footnote attached to this specific figure.

What the footnote actually says

This formula's own materials attach a specific asterisk to this figure: "illustrative customer feedback," separate from an independently verified rating platform.

Why this footnote is worth reading every time you see the number

Since this formula's own materials explicitly label this rating as illustrative rather than independently verified, worth treating the 4.98/5 figure as brand-stated context rather than a confirmed statistic from a named review platform.
