So you know if you are purchasing a real SkinCeuticals product or a fake. The real dropper on the left and the fake dropper on the right. The real has a rounded dropper at the end and the fake has a curved point at the end of the dropper. Notice the difference in color. The authentic box should have a clear plastic sticker on it. The last picture shows a raised stamp on the bottom of the bottle. There should be something like this on an authentic bottle and also a product code stamped as well.

flsunshine777 @valentine04 welcome!!! Be a well-informed safe buyer :)

gdevito @flsunshine777 ok mine I just purchased from a lady has the SS raised on bottom. But the solution is that color on right and my dropper is not curved ? Hmmm.

Mar 30Reply

flsunshine777 @gdevito does it have a tacky feel when you put it on your skin? If so that is authentic

Mar 30Reply

gdevito @flsunshine777 yes it does feel kinda tacky

Mar 30Reply

flsunshine777 @gdevito Yes all of that sounds like an authentic one. There are a lot of people on here selling authentic products but unfortunately there are bad seeds as well

Mar 30Reply

xx_rocky02 @flsunshine777 can you check this person named @kyliekay1 3 profile to see if theirs is real . The 3 is together I didn’t want to tag that person since they would get mad . So it’s kyliekay13 <

Mar 30Reply

flsunshine777 @xx_rocky02 yes that looks very real. Normally people who are selling fakes you will see a bunch of them under their “sold” history

Mar 30Reply

flsunshine777 @xx_rocky02 also Kaliliz913 on M E R C A R I Is a very trusted seller

Mar 30Reply

gdevito The solution look like one on right tho it’s more a rosy color ?

Mar 30Reply

flsunshine777 @gdevito the color can vary a little from product to product. Plus it will probably darken more overtime. But it shouldn’t be super watery because that product is a liquid but it’s a little bit thicker and has a tacky feel on the skin. If it is the SS on the bottom I’m pretty sure it’s legit

Mar 30Reply

flsunshine777 If it has*

gdevito Thanks for all your help 🥰

lorioverley1967 I think it's so totally sad, people would makeand sell fake products that go on your face/EYES!!! of all places. it's amazing the greed of people for a few lousey bucks... and risking the fact that it could cause someone a serious reaction. and the thing that gets me, is that some of these fake products are hundreds of dollars! it's not like they're selling them for 10 bucks! the only way I can describe that is absolute EVIL..

trishnamm Fyi just heard from Skinceuticals that they never mfgr’d the A.G.E. Eye. complex in the travel size being sold on Poshmark, ebay...etc. Buyer beware!

pollly The seller @nyght sold me a fake skinceuticals product and now his page is somehow empty. So frustrated.

Apr 29Reply

flsunshine777 @pollly yes I bought a fake from him but thank God I realized it and got my refund. I shut him down on M E R C A R I And have reported him here.

Apr 29Reply

pollly @flsunshine777 how long ago was that?

Apr 29Reply

flsunshine777 @pollly a few months ago. He’s not a good person at all. And there are many more on these sites

Apr 29Reply

pollly @flsunshine777 I’m really upset that Poshmark was aware that he was selling counterfeit items and I was still able to purchase from him a couple weeks ago. I wasn’t aware that counterfeit skin care was such a problem. Thank you so much for making me aware. I don’t have the knowledge to sift through real and fake, given that these products are going on my face I’ve decided to only buy from authorized resellers from here on.

Apr 29Reply

flsunshine777 @pollly and there ARE good quality products here as well. Feel free to ask me and I’ll find you and authentic seller :)

kristich Hi! What about @ memshopshop They’ve posted and sold a lot of the ce ferulic

May 01Reply

kristich And @ hcsale

May 01Reply

flsunshine777 @kristich so both of those sellers look very familiar in what they are selling and they don’t have any picture of an open bottle so you can see the dropper. You can either ask for those pictures and/or purchase the item, examine it BEFORE you except it, and then if it’s a fake demand a refund.

May 01Reply

flsunshine777 @kristich meshopshop claims that she is a high ranking sales person selling R+F and get free product which is true because I use to sell it. However I would just examine the items once you order to make sure they are authentic

May 01Reply

play9go @flsunshine777 I just got my order from hcsale and I don’t think it’s authentic. Looks smells and feels different from mine. I’m going to report and return.

May 02Reply

flsunshine777 @play9go do you have pictures you can post in an ad on your page?

May 02Reply

play9go @flsunshine777 not sure what you mean

May 02Reply

flsunshine777 @play9go post an ad like the one I did here on your profile with pictures of the one you received so I can lol at them

May 02Reply

play9go @flsunshine777 not home now but it’s watery, not at all oily, doesn’t smell smoky, and the packaging is sloppy. The stickers on the bottles have bubbles and aren’t applied smoothly. Boxes didn’t have the sticker but were shrink wrapped.

May 02Reply

flsunshine777 @play9go oh yeah that’s fake for SURE

May 02Reply

play9go @flsunshine777 so do I report it or just ask for a refund

May 02Reply

flsunshine777 @play9go both always do both. You can go to her profile also and report her

May 02Reply

play9go @flsunshine777 I commented that it wasn’t authentic and asked to return. She said yes I can return. She also deleted my comment and blocked me from commenting on any of her posts. Interesting

May 02Reply

flsunshine777 @play9go no you need to report her to Poshmark WITH PICTURES

May 02Reply

flsunshine777 @play9go I also just commented that I heard she sold fakes and would like to see pics of the bottle and dropper. She deleted it....

taniabella76 @flsunshine777 hi! thanks so much for this info! I have purchased on here from 2 sellers: 1 is pjscloset who I trust the other is thesecret702 whom I only just recently purchased from and am considering again so I have a question. what about serums like retexturizing activator which is clear or ha intensifier which is brownish similar to the fake color u posted.

May 02Reply

taniabella76 also, the derm store sent out an email regarding being aware of frauds and they said look for the recycling logo on back(real), the turquoise color on label is always darker(real) not light blue, but one thing confused me was the dropper itself. all are supposed to be straight to the rounded tip?some don't have a little dip thing like the intensifier?

May 02Reply

trishnamm @gdevito what product was it? The vitamin C products can oxidize and turn a little brown with age.

May 15Reply

flsunshine777 @trishnamm Yes I’m aware of that. However there was much more wrong with it than just the color

May 15Reply

trishnamm @flsunshine777 i would love to find one for skinceuticals! Just bought the ce ferulic for $166 from brand website!

May 15Reply

trishnamm What do you know about @memshopshop?

May 15Reply

flsunshine777 @trishnamm I’ve checked that one out but never bought. She has the product number but that’s not always reliable. You have to purchase it, examine it BEFORE you accept it. That’s the only way to know for sure

May 15Reply

bohobureau @flsunshine777 Any chance you can tell by the serial number? Dalehall1930 has a few items I'm interested in.

May 22Reply

flsunshine777 @bohobureau no you can’t always go just by the number

May 23Reply

bdpnurse @flsunshine777 if I post pictures of the one I just received would you mind peaking at it and telling me your opinion on whether it’s real or fake? Thank you so much

Jul 11Reply

flsunshine777 @bdpnurse sure post then on your page and I’ll take a look

Jul 11Reply

bdpnurse @flsunshine777 thanks You should be able to see it now

Jul 11Reply

bdpnurse @flsunshine777 I decided to return it. Really i don’t think it’s authentic. I’ve been noticing how the teal color is different on the bottles and then I read the comment above that said the darker teal is the real one and that makes sense mine was light.

Jul 13Reply

bdpnurse @taniabella76 did it say that I’m the email about the colors

Jul 13Reply

flsunshine777 @bdpnurse darker teal where?

jordan_hazan oh my goddddddd I got a fake one!! is this y I'm breaking out

Aug 12Reply

reginalacey This maybe true for some products but not all. I’m currently comparing my bottle of phyto corrective gel and there’s no SS stamped on the bottom of my bottle. However there is a code. My tip is rounded as well and I know from working in a spa that this bottle is authentic. You do have some great advice. 😊

Sep 16Reply

reginalacey @flsunshine777

Sep 16Reply

flsunshine777 @reginalacey I cannot speak for the Phyto product because I don’t use that one. But the product I have used all have some sort of raised stamp on the bottom but never the same as the SS. I’ve never seen a bottle with only a product code and no RAISED stamp in some form

Sep 16Reply

reginalacey @flsunshine777 Trust me... I really APPRECIATE your input. I actually just opened the box of some B5 hydrating gel and solution is clear but it’s hard for me to see the tip of the applicator to determine if it’s round or pointed, without breaking the seal. There is no SS on the bottom of the bottle but there is code on the bottle and the box. I wish you could see these items.

Sep 16Reply

flsunshine777 @reginalacey if you open it and it real you keep it. Don’t be afraid to open because of its fake you can report and request a refund.

Sep 16Reply

vibenthrive @flsunshine777 Do all authentic CE Ferulic bottles have the SS in a circle and a number next to it on the bottom?

Sep 24Reply

flsunshine777 @klea110 it’s should have some type of raised letters or numbers on the bottom. Post some pictures on your page and I can take a look at it

Sep 24Reply

vibenthrive @flsunshine777 I have filed a case, hoping for a return. Is it okay if I post pictures while I wait for a decision to be made? I can e-mail the pics or product the closet.

Sep 24Reply

flsunshine777 @klea110 of course post it to your closest

Sep 24Reply

vibenthrive @flsunshine777 Do you know how long it takes to hear back on when a refund is approved?

Sep 24Reply

flsunshine777 @klea110 within a week

Sep 24Reply

vibenthrive @flsunshine777 Okay, I posted it. Seems to me soo many things questionable on it. Crooked label, cracks/blemishes on bottle, crooked screw top lid, dropper shape wrong, bottle isn't full, color is off, liquid consistency watery, smells like musky/saw dust.

Sep 24Reply

flsunshine777 @klea110 on so the F63 is exactly what’s on my bottle, the dropper is the only thing that looks wrong. The color is fine! It darkens over time. It should smell the same though.....kind of like hotdog water lol

Sep 25Reply

vibenthrive @flsunshine777 Yeah, it doesn't smell like it, and the consistency of the liquid is very runny, not like other CE Ferulic products I've used.

Sep 25Reply

vibenthrive the number on mine is F83

Sep 25Reply

flsunshine777 @klea110 yeah it should have a tacky feel on the skin.

Sep 25Reply

flsunshine777 @klea110 oh I guess I read that wrong lol

Sep 25Reply

vibenthrive @flsunshine777 Oh darn, okay. Yeah the little bottle of mine has the smell and tacky feel. I got the small one to try it out first and liked it so much, figured I'd go for the full size.

Sep 25Reply

elinashkhiyan i just bought the ha intensifier and the ce ferulic from someone on M E R. i just got them both and they’re sealed. SS raised stamp and a code in on the ce but on the HA there’s no raised stamp just a code. is this fake? the droppers are rounded tho. i just tested the ce and it’s like yellow and watery. i really don’t know what to do.

Nov 01Reply

flsunshine777 @elinashkhiyan I’ve seen the HA serum with the curved dropper before. I’m not familiar with how it feels. The CE should though have a tacky feel on the skin.

Nov 01Reply

flsunshine777 @elinashkhiyan the HA serum MAY not have a raised stamp but I’ve never used that product

Nov 01Reply

elinashkhiyan @flsunshine777 what about if it’s a raised stamp but says F23 that’s the raised stamp with a code of myso1w

Nov 22Reply

flsunshine777 @elinashkhiyan yeah different products have different raised stamps so could be fine. Which product is it?

Nov 22Reply

elinashkhiyan @flsunshine777 ce ferulic. I got another one I made the girl provide a receipt from dermstore but I don’t trust anything 🤣 but this one seems legit hopefully. It smells like hot dogs lol

Nov 22Reply

elinashkhiyan @flsunshine777 champers321 is her user name. Can you just take a peak at her recent sold skinceuticals just to confirm?

Nov 22Reply

flsunshine777 @elinashkhiyan smells like hot dogs means IT IS real 😂 you can also make an ad to post a picture of it so I can see it

Nov 22Reply

flsunshine777 @elinashkhiyan her page looks very legit and so does the product

Nov 22Reply

amberthompson30 @flsunshine777 hi! I purchased the phlorentin cf from someone who swears it’s authentic despite the bottom of the bottle not having the ss stamped on the bottom. I didn’t open it far enough to look at the dopper. But the no existing stamp means it’s not authentic correct.

Dec 14Reply

flsunshine777 @amberthompson30 no it doesn’t HAVE to have SS. Does it have any stamp?

beans_caw @delray617 is definitely fake. I asked to see more pictures to authenticate and I didn't even get a response. Just deleted my comment. If you're selling a legit product you would have no problem letting a buyer know it's authentic.

Feb 14Reply

flsunshine777 @beans_caw yes! All those with fakes delete your messages and or don’t respond

Feb 14Reply

raverz_nation @flsunshine777 I read that the real bottle has a recycle sign on the bottle, is that true? I bought one and it doesn’t have the recycle sign, and the bottle is not all the way full, but it is sealed...

sapfleider Hi! I just purchased at M e r c a r i the B5 gel. Reading from the comments now I’m not so sure... The bottle has a SS raised and the number 22 raised as well. There’s a batch code on the bottom of the bottle that matches the box. But the tip is not rounded it has a curve? Is it fake? Please help

Mar 21Reply

flsunshine777 @sapfleider the bottle sounds authentic and dropper MAY have a curved edge on that product I’ve just never seen it on the CE Feurlic or the discoloration defense before. Does the serum feel the same?

Mar 21Reply

sapfleider @flsunshine777 I’ve never used this brand before that’s why I’m not so sure

nellis808 @lorioverley1967 I agree!!! But it’s a billion $ business for these crooks especially from certain countries and they don’t care that we use it and may get hurt by it... I’ve had my share of fakes and want the people to know the difference as well!!! I caught fake Mac fake Gucci all of it!!

Mar 26Reply

nellis808 @flsunshine777 yeah it’s so crazy the extent they go thru and they’ve gotten better over time too fool us!! They started putting batch numbers too!! But it’s the bar code that gives them away the most! So I purchased 10 real ones to compare to those 10 fakes and on the real NOT one bar code is exactly the same becuz they should be different in order to scan for inventory loads...crazy!!!

Mar 26Reply

nellis808 @flsunshine777 I did!!! And of course she eliminated her stock of it from her site becuz I put those pics in my complaint!! What a waste of time and money though!

annabykova @sapfleider @flsunshine777 Just wanted to share my experience: Ordered B5 from another app, I threw away the box; colors are blue, not teal, SS and 22 stamp on the bottom, batch number in yellow, the tip is rounded, distributed by CAI. What is this CAI? I’m inclined to think that it’s fake. It didn’t do anything to my skin, really. I also have a sample of retinol 0.3 and glycolic cleanse, both distributed by CAI. Is that all fake, too? Thank you!

Mar 28Reply

annabykova Even though the nip is rounded, it does have a curve on top, like @nellis808 posted in one of her pictures.

Mar 28Reply

nellis808 @annabykova don’t quote me on this but during my research the counterfeit companies put a distributor on there to protect from lawsuits. This was google search: FAKE!!! See pictures.... - Amazon.com On the real jar it says "Manufactured and distributed by Skinceuticals, Garland, ... Then on the next line it says "Distributed by CAI 3 avenue Sainte Anne, ... It can't be distributed by two companies!

Mar 28Reply

nellis808 @annabykova I countries like China and a few others it’s a multi billion $$ business. When I traveled to Korea and one of the flight attendants with me was from there and took us to “under ground” operations. Meaning what is sold on street for $25. Is nothing compared to brands sold behind the curtains for $100.

Mar 28Reply

nellis808 @annabykova And they have mastered and I mean mastered brands such Gucci LV etc and skin care like MAC and SkinCeuticals whatever is USA demand they will duplicate... it’s actually really unbelievable and you’d be shocked like SC in its warning it’s counterfeits have mastered duplicates

Mar 28Reply

nellis808 @annabykova that’s why they try to change up to y things in verbiage or the size of nipple dropper or if your a Mac lover the spout or nozzle size look carefully. Always buy from certified dealer.

annabykova I wanted to confirm again that JCT31W batch is definitely a fake! I just received my order, even though the seller cancelled and said that USPS lost their package. It smells like diluted acetone, nothing close to ferulic acid smell. The packaging is off, too, like the barcode is not even a barcode, just some dots...

kayleigh_06 Hello! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I was wondering about some I bought. Raised 22 recycling on box but dropper looks like the fake and I notice no smell

suninyourcloset @flsunshine777 hey there .. I bought skinceuticals off here and everything looked legit I even checked the batch code on a batch code calculator I found online.. only thing is I checked skinceuticals website and they say If the product is missing a recycling label on the bottle it is counterfeit? how could this be .. does anyone who has a legit product know this to be true ? what do u think ? I bought the blemish and age defense---

gavizen So all of these ones I see that are cellophane wrapped and have a holographic sticker are fakes? I bought some from an authorized retailer and they all have a little clear sticker on the box flap and aren’t wrapped around the box. But a ton of the “new” ones I see here and on M are wrapped and stickered.

plank_tina @flsunshine777 If it says LLC on the box, does that mean it's real? Thanks!

flsunshine777 @plank_tina you need multiple indicators to know it’s real

plank_tina @flsunshine777 Is there a site and/or person you would recommend to purchase from? Thanks!

poohshoes Hello all. I heard that the word, "net" as in net 30 ml indicate that it is fake. Is that correct? The skinceuticals website does not have the word, "net" on the bottle but other authorized sellers sell skinceuticals products with the word, "net" on them.

Sep 26Reply

poohshoes @flsunshine777 Hi there. Would you mind letting me know if @kittylambott sell fake Skinceuticals? Apparently I asked all the right questions for the seller to block me. She said that Skinceuticals is made in Texas but blocked me when I asked her about the distribution"CAI." She will not reveal her retailer for Skinceuticals products. I appreciate your help.

Sep 27Reply

poohshoes @trishnamm Hi there. Regarding @memshopshop, I believe their Skinceuticals products are indeed counterfeit. They will not post additional pictures or answer any of my questions and then blocked me.

Sep 27Reply

flsunshine777 @poohshoes not sure about the word “net”

Sep 27Reply

flsunshine777 @poohshoes if she blocked you for asking questions that is definitely shady

Sep 27Reply

wstr I just got one on M to the Ercari that I think is fake. The seller has almost 200 five star reviews, and the product/packaging look super realistic, but several suspicious aspects: first, it doesn't have that strong thyme-ish smell. It barely smells like anything, and that's definitely not the case for ones I've purchased directly from stores. It also has the curved dropper end (though it sounds like sometimes that's legit?). Lastly, it has the "distributed by CAI" wording on the box. Fake?

Oct 01Reply

wstr Also, thank you so much for posting this! This thread has been super helpful when I was trying to figure out if the one I got might be fake. To be safe, I'm not going to use it, after reading all of the above and comparing to the one I got.

Oct 01Reply

flsunshine777 @wstr reviews mean NOTHING. If the smell and texture is different from the real product you’ve used before it’s definitely a fake. And if they only sell mostly the same products that’s also a red flag

Oct 01Reply

poohshoes @wstr Hi,@flsunshine777 is correct, reviews mean NOTHING. My husband and I sell on-line for a very popular on-line store for 20+years and people will steal websites for something that was originally 5 Stars and 200 reviews but the product is completely different. You'll know if you read the reviews and the item they are selling does not match the reviews.

Oct 03Reply

poohshoes @wstr SkinCeuticals is famous for their CE Ferulic and if you see a seller selling a ton of these or any other products in abundance, I'll bet it's fake. Some sellers will also state that the manufactur price is just a little more expensive than their selling price as to not seem too fishy. For example, they will suggest that the selling price for the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic is $89 (rather than $166) and they are selling theirs for $55ish dollars.

Oct 03Reply

chic_teacher @flsunshine777 unfortunately I got scammed! Matarl_5… bad triple lipid fake. Looks and smells like a bad foot cream. Sticker on the bottom of package off center. Knew it was fake right when I opened it and found your page after. Praying I get a refund!

laurbase @flsunshine777 I put them up. I think it is fake due to how high the bottle is filled

Nov 18Reply

niketwn @flsunshine777 I have a fake CE Ferulic in my possession from M E R C as well. They are giving me a hard time about wanting documentation to show it is a fake product. Seller has offered to refund me but M E R C wont permit it. How did you get your situation sorted out?

Dec 16Reply

flsunshine777 @niketwn I have never ever had a problem returning a fake items from that website. They are always very very good about refunding money for a fake product

Dec 16Reply

niketwn @flsunshine777 Were you asked for documentation to prove that it was fake? I think unfortunately because I was outside of their 3 day period, that's why I'm being asked. I think personally it's an awful site with unreasonable policies. That's just me.

Dec 17Reply

niketwn @flsunshine777 You may have addressed this already, but is it true that all bottles should show the recycling symbol? Mine does not and the batch number on the bottom is the exact batch of another person on line who was scammed on M E R C. Zero of the trademark fragrance and the viscosity is not that of an authentic product (no stickiness).

Dec 17Reply

niketwn @flsunshine777 It's going to be hit or miss on these sites. While we now know what to look for in an imposter product, I also would not want a seller to show me photos of an open package that they're going to turn around and send to me. Everyone wants a sealed, authentic product I'm sure. Apart from the obvious hygiene issues, the serums begin to lose potency once opened.

Dec 17Reply

flsunshine777 @niketwn you have to inspect the items once you receive it. Yes you have to send 8 pictures and a description of why you believe it’s fake. I don’t think they’re unreasonable at all. But you have to remember to inspect it within that three day window. You have three days to inspect it and then they release the funds to the seller. Once the funds are sent to the seller there is nothing they can do

Dec 17Reply

flsunshine777 @niketwn can you post some pics of the product on your Poshmark page including the dropper and serum so I can see? I have no fear in purchasing any product that I’m familiar with because I inspect it soon as it comes and if it’s fake I always get my money back

Dec 17Reply

niketwn @flsunshine777 To clarify, this is not M E R C is saying they want from me. They want photos of course, however, they also want a statement from an authorized merchant stating that it is, in fact, a fake product. I don't know of anyone willing to do that, they will only go so far as to say it is "not likely" authentic and that the only way they will confirm anything is if the product was purchased from them which of course it was not. I already know 100% it is fake.

Dec 17Reply

niketwn @flsunshine777 Additionally, the seller was willing to credit me if M E R C would open it back up. They wont. Still curious about the recycle stamp though, can't seem to find an answer to whether it appears on all bottles or not.

Dec 17Reply

fercat @niketwn similar situation happened to me recently but with the Discoloration Defense serum. The problem was never resolved (asking 3rd party documentation) case was closed and I was stuck with a fake product from @glamourgirls account on M E R C. The product was clearly fake (no batch code on bottle and 100% clear liquid inside) ugh… that account still exist so beware!

Feb 02Reply

flsunshine777 @fercat I don’t understand….did you report them too late? I’ve never had a problem on that site with reporting fakes and getting a refund

Feb 02Reply

fercat @flsunshine777 I reported it after I was too quick in accepting the product without checking it first… my mistake since I had never had any issues I though I was safe. Now I learned my lesson and I’m careful about inspecting my purchases before accepting them! I appreciate this post Marissa, thanks for initiating it. I felt like I was not alone :)

Feb 02Reply

flsunshine777 @fercat absolutely! Yeah as long as you don’t accept it you’re ok. The problem is once you accept it, the funds $$ are then released to the seller and then the platform no longer has any control.

Feb 02Reply

flsunshine777 @fercat are you sure it was Discoloration Defense you purchase? I just messaged glamour girls on M E R C about that product and they said it’s a rich yellow color. Can you post pics on your Posh page?

thomsoea I believe milgra87 is selling fake products. Beware! I saw this thread after I ordered it and all the signs are there. It’s the HA intensifier and was a bright red/purple color rather than light brownish tint. Super thin instead of the thicker consistency. Dropper tapers and opens rather than being uniform. Box was wrapped in plastic, no clear sticker for the seal. Stamps on the bottom are not as shown in your pictures.

Mar 04Reply

flsunshine777 @thomsoea Are you able to post pictures on your page? Just curious what it looks like

Mar 04Reply

thomsoea @flsunshine777 I just posted some. The last picture isn’t the actual product that I received, but that’s how it came wrapped. Interestingly, the picture he had of the product wasn’t wrapped like that, but that’s how it arrived.

yogabrat1986 I asked to see the bottle for seller @surfergrl8 4 She then blocked me. I assume she blocked me because its fake. I do not understand why Poshmark allows these sellers. I have been reporting them for months but posh does nothing. I purchased a fake and I was furious.

Apr 29Reply

flsunshine777 @yogabrat1986 Yes if it’s a fake they will block you. However I have never had a problem returning a product so long as I did it within the timeframe.

yogabrat1986 @lorioverley1967 agreed. I was sold Revitalash by two different sellers and they were fakes. I even called Revitalash and spoke to a person in their counterfeit division. She told me Poshmark lets them sell it. It is disgraceful!!!!

Apr 29Reply

flsunshine777 @yogabrat1986 It’s not the Poshmark allows them to sell a fake product. It’s the Poshmark doesn’t have any way of distinguishing between fake an authentic just based on pictures

yogabrat1986 @play9go thats what they do. I had a seller post all over my listings that I am a scammer . Unreal she sold me a fake Revitalash ! Her name is “@getitwholesal e” People beware of her.

Apr 29Reply

yogabrat1986 @kels834 at this point I am buying from these sellers because I can actually prove they are fakes . I wouldn’t dare put Revitalash on my eyes other than from certified , authorized sites. If I can save others I will do my very best to get them shut down. It is just disgusting what these sellers are doing.

lisa_alden @pemaidl24 sold me COUNTERFEIT SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier on 6/2. I didn’t open it right away, because I had some left of my legitimate HA Intensifier.

DO NOT BUY FROM @pemaidl24!!!!!!

kristenmcgrand Just purchased a fake Phloretin CF from @dwoofs2020 The item received does not have a potent coffee smell like the authentic Phloretin CF does. Ruler on right side of label is shaped wider. The label is also positioned differently on bottle. Texture and consistency is too smooth which indicates it is a inauthentic.

Jul 09Reply

karengeo3 @flsunshine777 I know. It’s tricky. Just had a return issue with M E R C, but as I was initiating an authentic issue, the seller cancelled the order stating that she (the seller) sent the wrong item. Broken up ~ grammar. Initially asked that I initiate a return that I was sent the incorrect item. Nope. That is dishonest. Throwing this purchase in the trash.

oonessa202oo The bottom of my bottle has F12 and MYU824 the last digit I'm not totally positive on because it's a little hard to make out but I purchased mine from dermstore.com and that is a certified skinceuticals retailer, it says this on skinceuticals website. And also the liquid should be all the way to the top not a little above the top of the label, the liquid should be like she shows in the first dropper on the left, the dropper should also look like the one on the left,

Jul 11Reply

oonessa202oo The font and label color will be slightly different on the fake, the label is positioned differently on the fake as well you can go to theskinspot.com and it will show you some examples of how a fake one will look like and how a real one looks like.

flsunshine777 @sunsetocean76 That’s strange I have never had a problem with returning some thing that was fake. Although you have to be able to prove and send pictures between the real thing and the fake.

Sep 30Reply

sunsetocean76 @flsunshine777 I guess I didn’t do that good of a job convincing Poshmark that the products are fake. I didn’t have the authentic products on hand for SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum (threw the finished products, along with the packaging, away…lesson learned to keep at least one on hand for this type of situations).

Sep 30Reply

sunsetocean76 @flsunshine777 It was my first time purchasing the SkinCeuticals A.G.E Interrupter so I don’t have a real product to compare. I just read from this and other listings on M that SkinCeuticals does not cellophane wrap their products and this one was wrapped though the listing photos didn’t show the cellophane wrap (may be deliberate).

Another way you can tell is that their prices are way way too low. The third way to tell that you are buying unauthorized products is the person will be selling only one or two brands and that’s all. although you would probably want to look for all three of these things. And ALWAYS check the item before you accept.

slecrone3 So I purchased a SkinCeuticals CE from Posh-it is wrapped in plastic and has a holographic sticker on the front. It seems right if the bat to be fake just by that alone from what I’m finding out…I’m so pissed! I plan to refuse it- Do I need to open it and take pics of the bottle as well for Posh to refund me or will they refuse to refund bc I opened the package. Will pics of the outside be enough? Anyone have experience with being sold fake product that can lmk?

Nov 23Reply

flsunshine777 @slecrone3 you would open it just to make sure the liquid is not authentic as Poshmark will need more than just the outside description of why it’s fake. I’ve never had any issues with refunds as long as you do it within the short timeframe after receiving product. The fact that it’s in plastic wrap with the hologram sticker doesn’t necessarily make it fake.

Nov 23Reply

slecrone3 @flsunshine777 oh I have been in here reading that the boxes only come with the clear plastic tape tabs on top and bottom. And SC emailed me back saying they don’t normally shrink wrap products. So the wrapped box with the round sticker may be legit? Of course I asked the seller for proof of purchase and never received an answer.

I already own the B5 gel, and the bottle and packaging of the one I received are exactly the same as the one I own. The B5 gel bottle does not have a raised ridge. I wrote to her and she says the products come from spas that she owns. I'm pretty sure this is legit! :)

carolynnnxoxo Hi! You’re awesome for what you’re doing here. I’ve been wanting to buy the AGE interrupter off of the seller youbeauty on M E R C A R I. I haven’t used the product in years so I can’t remember exactly how it feels or smells. Does this seller “youbeauty” look legit? The listing is for “ SKINCEUTICALS A.G.E. Interrupter 1.7oz USED ONCE LOT OF 2” Thank you!!
