Japanese barley water has always been famous. I believe everyone has heard of it. It is a cheap and large bowl with good skin care effects. It is the favorite of many people for wet compresses. No matter how you use it, you don’t feel distressed. It is a hot product on the market. There will be fakes of it.

Authentic and fake Japanese barley water

1. Text printing

The genuine text is relatively deep and the words are very clear and clear, while the fake ones appear very blurry. And compared with the genuine product, the color will be much lighter, and the color of the fake packaging bottle may be darker than the genuine product.

2. Barcode

The authentic barcode has very clean lines and no extra strokes for printing, while the fake barcode has obvious rough edges and looks very blurry.

3. Texture

The smell of the authentic product is very light, with a hint of barley, but it is obvious and can almost be ignored, while the smell of the fake product is relatively strong and pungent, with a skiing feel. It is very strong, and the genuine bubbles will disappear soon after they appear, while the fake bubbles will remain for a long time.

The difference between Epeilan and naturie

First of all, I want to tell you that Epeilan barley water and Naturie barley water are exactly the same product from the same Japanese company, except that in China, Epeilan is used. The trademark is produced in Shanghai. In Japan it is produced in Japan under the Naturie trademark. Because the Japanese company failed to register the Naturie trademark in China. There is no difference in the rest! The liquid process and formula of Epelan and naturie are also exactly the same. However, the back of the domestic version of the bottle is based on the requirements of Chinese skin care products, with Chinese production license information, QS certification, ingredient formula and other information. Epeilan (naturie barley water) has a strong whitening effect. At the same time, it can make the skin smooth and delicate, prevent tanning, improve dry skin, and promote metabolism. It can be used as facial lotion, body moisturizing water or as a compress The masks are very easy to use and make the skin soft and white. If you still feel safe shopping for Japanese naturie barley water overseas, you can also purchase it through Amazon Japan. Japanese naturie barley water is also available on Amazon Japan.

The barley water you bought may not be real

It looks milky white in color and looks very comfortable. No additives, no irritation, very comfortable to use, even sensitive skin does not need to worry. (Some people say that barley water can cause allergies. Unless you are allergic to barley, you will definitely buy a fake one because there are no additives.) You can eat some barley rice and see if you are allergic. If you are fine, go to the place where you bought it before. Don't visit us again. Summarizing a lot of information, it is said that barley water is divided into three versions. It is divided into Japanese version, Hong Kong and Taiwan version and mainland version. Let’s start with the mainland version.

1. Mainland version. Epeilan is an agent. Commonly known as the Opeilan version, there is an English OPERA logo at the bottom of the bottle. In other words, the mainland version of barley water is not made in Japan. Instead, E Peilan is responsible for the production. (Commonly known as OEM in the profession, which is commonly known as outsourced processing)

2. Hong Kong version, sold at Sasa Bonjour Carlyle, without Naturie on the front, two lines in English, one line for HATOMUGI, and one line for SKIN CONDITIOER , there is a Traditional Chinese sticker on the back, and the barcode is affixed to the outside of the plastic envelope. Please note that if it is made in Hong Kong, it will say Made in Hong Kong. But it says made in japan. This means that these barley water comes from Japan, but it is not sold directly in Japan. Again, if it comes from the same place, there won't be two packages for no reason. Since the packaging is deliberately separated for different regions, the contents inside cannot be exactly the same.

3. The Japanese version has the word Naturie on the front (checked on the Japanese official website), and only one line of SKIN CONDITIOER. Here is a picture of the real Japanese version of barley water.

In fact, the Japanese version of barley water comes in two packages, one is 500ml, which is the one above, and the other is 1000ml, which says it is for use on the face and body to moisturize and prevent dryness. The main reason is that the specifications and capacities are different, and the usage effects are not much different. It is generally sold in all major regular drugstores in Japan.

But since we are talking about barley water, let me tell you briefly. After all, there are too many fakes of this affordable lotion on the market. So, in addition to the differences between the three versions mentioned above, how to distinguish them. Let’s start with price. I really can’t remember the exact price because it is very cheap. In fact, the price of barley water in every drugstore is not the same. But the difference won't be huge because it's really cheap. Without further ado, its price is around 650 yen, which is converted into RMB, which is roughly 40 RMB (the exchange rate may change slightly, but the change will not be big). Do you think that it is sold for more than 50 or 60 on the market? Really? What I really want to say here is that you are too young and too simple. I want to educate everyone here. Japan’s postage is not cheap. The weight is nearly 100rmb in RMB.

This bottle of water alone weighs 500ml (0.5KG), and it is even heavier when the bottle and packaging are included. It doesn’t count as lifting, it’s added by weight. Without any tariffs, for extremely large quantities of goods, the minimum international shipping fee for every 100g is 3rmb (generally, if the quantity is not enough, it will be doubled). Then the actual cost of transporting a bottle of barley water to Southeast Asia is about 55rmb. And then the buyer has to give you packaging, store costs, etc. After all of that, do you still think they will only sell it for 60 per bottle? Note, after calculating this, the cost is over 60, and this still does not include tariffs at all. This is why you see that many Japanese purchasing agents are unwilling to buy barley water. In other words, the live-streaming purchases have to be sold for about 100rmb (free shipping). For the price of a certain cat, you can ask if you have actually stayed in Japan. Friends, including postage and all costs, is there anyone willing to bring it to you at that price?
