1. Smell the scent

L'Oreal's functional shampoo has a faint medicinal smell. Although it is not fragrant, it has a relatively pure taste. If it smells cheesy, or if it smells like something you've smelled somewhere before, it's definitely fake.

2. Look at the bubbles

L'Oreal bubbles are not necessarily rich. The key is that they are mainly small bubbles, which are mostly genuine. If there are relatively few bubbles, or the bubbles are mainly large bubbles, it is probably fake.

3. Look at the packaging

The real shampoo is wrapped with a layer of cellophane. The printing on the genuine carton is pearlescent printing, which is reflective, and the printed fonts are also reflective. It's reflective, but the fakes are printed with poor quality and won't be reflective. You can really read the production date in the batch number, while fakes usually have random numbers.

4. Overall liquid color

The color of the genuine L'Oreal Essence is brighter than the color of the imitation product. The color of the fake product looks dull, even the color on the bottle. The fonts all have the same problem, that is, the fake fonts are still thicker and not as slim as the authentic ones.
