How to distinguish real and fake cosmetics?

Appearance packaging details

Identifying through appearance packaging is the most intuitive way to judge the authenticity of cosmetics. Nowadays, for cosmetics with a certain scale and popularity on the market, generally speaking, the outer packaging is very well-made; if you find any problems with the following points, you can carry out the necessary identification.

Printing

Personally, I think that printing problems generally only appear on some cosmetic bottles whose official selling prices are not high. For example, if you buy samples from Giggle, everyone knows that the price of samples is already low, so merchants selling fake products do not have much profit margin. If they want to make more money, they can only save money starting from printing.

The steel on the carton is blurry, the expiration date on the bottom of the bottle is blurry, the thickness of the logo is blurry, the font thickness is different, exaggerated and there are direct font printing errors, etc.

Craftsmanship

In order to save costs, the authenticity of bottles can also be distinguished from the craftsmanship of the bottles. Generally speaking, you can see a diagonal line between the bottle body and the bottom of the bottle. Since the injection molding process of the authentic product is very fine, you will not feel that it is an obvious diagonal line; but the diagonal line of the fake product may be very clear and With burrs.

And for extruded toothpaste-shaped cosmetics, generally speaking, the barcodes on the edges are very clear and neat, and the product is in a vacuum state except for the paste; but fake products are prone to barcode layers. It is uneven, and the product seems to be filled with air and bulging.

Weight

Of course, it is best to compare the weight with the genuine product before drawing a conclusion; for several foreign high-end brand lipsticks, the genuine product is very light and feels fake. No matter how light the goods are, they may disappear.

Bottle cap

Many people may not notice this, but in fact, it is easy to tell whether the cosmetic is genuine or fake from the cosmetic bottle cap.

First of all, the edge of the authentic bottle cap and the ring gear inside must be very smooth, and many big-name brand caps have a 1mm gap between them and the bottle body after they are tightened. This is something that many fake manufacturers You won’t notice it at all, as there are burrs around the cap, or the feeling of twisting the cap is different from the original product.

It can also be identified from the aspects of color, smell,

texture/ductility/viscosity, etc.

Purchasing on behalf of others means buying on behalf of others. The popular meaning is to find someone to help you buy the product you need. The reason may be that you cannot buy the product locally, the price of the product locally is more expensive than in other areas, or it may be to save personal time and cost by hiring someone. Help with the purchase and delivery to your door.
