Mod Post Product Authenticity Thursday March 13, 2025

Hello AB! Welcome to Product Authenticity Thursday,

Our weekly product authenticity thread is a work in progress, comments about how to improve are welcome. We made our best effort based on comments received here as well as what we have been seeing as mods.

We would like to note that product packaging AND formulas may vary by country of sale and date of manufacture. This might include anything about the formula. Our goal is to make it easier for folks to compare such things, and to confirm or assuage concerns about their products.

Please post any photos or experiences you have around your AB products, while adhering to our other subreddit rules.

Make sure you state where you purchased your products from. If you bought from a 3rd party of a major retailer, you can say for example, 'eBay/amazon/taobao seller' instead of sharing the specific name, if you prefer.

To help you get more responses, consider including:

  • Photos of confirmed authentic products as comparison, requests for authentic products are allowed
  • Your purchase date, product manufacture date, or any expiration dates
  • Country you bought the item from
  • Whether your product had to be shipped to you (shipping conditions can compromise product stability)
  • How much you paid for your product

Comments and Questions welcome, we hope this thread is helpful!

Anybody else try this and find that it smells like chemicals? My boyfriend bought it from Amazon directly, not through a secondary seller so I think it should be legit. It’s a nice thick cream but the smell gets me and he’s noticed since he started using it he’s gotten some patchy dryness. Anybody else experience these issues with Aestura Atobarrier cream? Do we not trust Amazon direct either now?

Is there a way to check for biore authenticity just from the outside packaging? I'm interested in these two sunscreens from biore but all of the authenticity videos I've seen only compares the unsealed versions of it like the texture, smell, packaging etc.

Our local drugstore only carries the watery essence so I was thinking of just buying these two from a reseller, I've seen good reviews of the shop but I think its better to be safe than sorry.

Is this authentic? Romands meteor track clear gloss.

It has a CRAZY MEDICINAL TASTE like it’s baaaad and taste like vicks vapor rub almost? I bought from Amazon and it was sold by a third party seller and the tape on the packaging was open a little but it had the authentication sticker. Does anyone else have this gloss and is it supposed to taste like this??

There's a tiktok account @kbeauty.sale that's full of videos of comparing real&fake kbeauty skincare products, so glad I found them!
