Authentic products: Authentic products may be parallel imports or licensed products. There is no unified statement, but they must be genuine.

Parallel imports: Parallel imports are actually genuine products, but the channels are irregular, they have not gone through customs duties, and they do not have Chinese instructions. For example, if you buy Biotherm at a counter in the United States and sell it after you bring it back, it is a parallel import that has not gone through tariffs and is brought back by yourself, but it is definitely genuine. And the price is cheaper than regular channels.

Fake goods: There are many kinds of counterfeit goods, which are divided into A goods, A goods, B goods, C goods, etc. Clothing, leather bags, cosmetics, etc. are generally classified in this way. Clothing and leather bags are fake goods. It doesn’t matter, it’s cheap anyway, and what we like is just the style, but cosmetics are fakes. Better-made imitation cosmetics will not hurt the skin and may have some effect, but the effect is not as good as 10% of the genuine products.

Licensed goods: genuine goods from formal channels, which have passed customs duties, national inspection, and have Chinese instructions.

Hong Kong goods: There are two types of Hong Kong goods. One is brought back from regular shopping malls in Hong Kong, which is parallel imports; there is also the so-called Hong Kong product, also called Hong Kong goods, but you have to look at this Are these cosmetics produced in Hong Kong? For example, Lancome only has factories in Taiwan and France, so the so-called Hong Kong-made Lancome is a very real fake. Anyway, I have never heard of a Lancome factory in Hong Kong, but the effect is not bad after using it. It’s just not as good as the real thing :).

How to identify whether the goods are brought back from Hong Kong? Samples and relatively cheap cosmetics tell you the simplest and most effective way: directly look for traces of transparent film packaging and labels! Generally, the items sold by some cosmetics supermarket chains such as Sasa and Bonjour in Hong Kong will be packaged in transparent films, and they will have their own logo and price tags on them. However, after bringing the products to the mainland, in order to keep the price confidential, individuals will often tear off the price tags. . But most of them are not easy to tear, which will leave marks on the goods. Explain that these are all products that have been sold on the shelves. This is simple and easy to distinguish, so please keep it in mind! Note: Everything at Sasa and Bonjour has a price tag on it.

Things that girls who want to buy genuine skin care and cosmetics online should pay attention to

1. According to the following lessons, you must distinguish what you see. If a store If there is one imitation, you have to be careful with the others or simply don’t buy them, because if you don’t specialize in this series, it’s hard to guarantee that they are genuine.

2. Don’t believe the boss just because he swears by it. He has several possibilities, one is true and one is false, but he doesn’t know that there is another one that has interests. Inside, there are plenty of excuses waiting for you when you get back.

3. Some parallel import stores are full of counterfeit goods (not all stores). They have all kinds of imitations. The boss has a good background. If you have all kinds of connections, I will see it with my own eyes. Go to CK, lancome, shisedoo, sk-2, Kose, Yue-Sai, Opal... and many other imitations are very real and almost the same. If you go to pick up the goods, you can get a profit of 10 or 20 yuan, which is much higher than the real thing. .

4. Go to a reputable parallel import store to buy things. There are also good parallel import stores, all of which are genuine. It depends on your taste.

5. Don’t think there is any one-size-fits-all solution, just look at the barcode or the location of the production date, etc... Every imitation is different, and there is no unified way to judge authenticity. A unique trick, for example, some genuine VOVs have no date (or I don’t know how to express the date, and some have no weight mark but are also genuine).

6. Don’t think that the expensive ones are real. Some imitations can be sold at real prices, or even higher than the real prices, to hide that they are not real. Don’t think that cheap ones are imitations. Each merchant’s profit and method of attracting customers are different. The bargain may be made up for by other products.

First of all, they should be distinguished based on price. For example, the new Olay Revitalizing Essence Cream costs about 75 yuan for 55 grams, while the fake ones only cost about 20-25 yuan. There is a huge difference between the two. Consumers must not be fooled by the small bargain. The new Olay Revitalizing Essence Cream is only 55g (Revitalizing Sunscreen Lotion is 75ML). All 28g Olay Cream and 32ML Sunscreen Lotion on the market are fake.

Secondly, identify the authenticity from the packaging. The overall packaging of genuine products looks more exquisite. The printing of trademarks and instructions for use is very clear. There is no blurring of fonts and ink diffusion. In particular, the instructions for use will have an obvious bulging feeling when touched with fingertips, and they will not rub when rubbed.

The genuine product is machine pressed and has a strong concave and convex feel. There is no stamped shelf life and production batch number on the lid of the paper outer packaging box (you can call toll-free to check the authenticity through the production batch number). The English white radiance on the front of the paper outer packaging box has no concave-convex feeling or is not strong. The 800 service hotline number on the side of the paper outer packaging box of some fake products is missing one digit.

The outside of the facial mask plastic film packaging bag is dirty, and there is liquid residue on the plastic film packaging bag. The sealing of the facial mask packaging is extremely poor, the secondary sealing is not tight, the stripes are uneven, and the stripe sealing is skewed. The sealing of the facial mask packaging sealed with an ordinary sealing machine lacks an English letter after the shelf life stamp, such as A, B or F, etc. The stamped shelf life is very deep and the font is skewed, much like manual heating and pressing, or there is no stamped shelf life and it is printed with ink. The paper and printing of the product manual are rough. The pictures look like those copied by a color copier. The color is reddish and the portrait is too large. The font size of the product manual is uneven, the format is uneven, and the color is dark. The texture of the mask itself is poor. It is thinner than the genuine mask and does not have as much texture as the genuine one. The 12 slits do not match the picture on the box.
