Rufus Visibility Checklist for Skincare Devices Brands

Amazon's Rufus AI treats skincare devices differently than regular beauty products. It actively checks FDA clearance status for anything claiming medical benefits and flags before/after photos with disclaimers. Battery specs matter more than brand names here. This checklist helps you work with Rufus's cautious approach instead of fighting it.
