hello all! I’ve seen a lot of comments and posts regarding if an item a poster has purchased could possibly be counterfeit, and I wanted to do a little bit of research on buying products from Amazon and how to intuitively purchase beauty items to maximize the likelihood that it is the original product and NOT a counterfeit.
* Buy from the official Amazon storefront. For all products you will see under details a section indicating “Ships from” and “Sold by”. Just this simple action will save you from a lot of grief, money, and wondering “is this real?”.
* ex) Beauty of Joseon’s Glow serum indicated “ships from Amazon, sold by BEAUTY OF JOSEON OFFICIAL”. but Beauty of Jose Rice sunscreen “ships from Amazon, sold by XLIZQ”, with the brand being “lweoffhw”. You are not buying from BOJ when you purchase the sunscreen, so as always, be intuitive with your buying and always do your research. There is high likelihood then that this product is counterfeit.
* Just looking at the Amazon storefront isn’t enough- ALWAYS make sure the “sold by” lines up with the official brand.
* ex) when you go to the ROUND LAB amazon storefront, you would expect that pressing products directly from that storefront will lead you to the official product sellers but this is NOT always the case. the round lab dokdo toner on Amazon while it does state it’s being sold from the Round Lab amazon storefront, the detail information indicates “ships from Amazon, sold by DZMALL”. Therefore, make sure your “SOLD BY” details indicates it’s being sold by the brand seller specifically.
– skin1004’s official website states that their storefront is indeed official BUT some products are still being sold by different sellers. Proceed with caution. ⚠️
– As always, be discerning with products before you purchase and do your due diligence.
