If we judge the authenticity of L 'Oreal products
First: look at the product batch number. First of all, learn to understand the special significance of L 'Oré al products from the batch number. The first letter (or number) stands for country, F stands for Indonesia or the United States, and K stands for France or Europe. The second letter stands for year A stands for 2004, B stands for 2005 and C stands for 2006. D stands for 2007 and E stands for 2008, but there is no Z, because Z and 2 are easily confused. The last three digits represent the date of the year, from 1 to 365, representing a day of the year. Of course, there are letters after these three numbers, which means that the first letter (number) specifies that the outsourcing processor found in the factory did it. Usually the shelf life of cosmetics is generally three years. The place of origin will be marked on the outer packaging of general products. If not, please see barcode 899 made in Indonesia, barcode 3 made in France, barcode 5 made in Europe and barcode 0 made in America. Our factory code is 2 in Suzhou and 9 in Shanghai. Many goods are made in China and sold abroad, so the packaging is all in English, but the batch number starts with "Made in China". Fake goods will not come according to the standard (I heard that marking equipment is very expensive! ), numbers and letters can be written casually. Therefore, if the product batch number does not correspond to the shelf life, 99.9% may be fake. It is particularly important to note that generally imported L 'Oré al does not indicate the shelf life, but only indicates the production date by the production batch number, for example, FE053 stands for the 53rd day of production in 2008. However, there are a few Yatai versions of L 'Oré al produced in Indonesia, with only the date of production and no batch number. Yatai Edition was produced in Indonesia and exported to Thailand. Only the number 05.04.07 was marked on the bottle, indicating that it was produced on April 5, 2007 (from right to left). I once bought this Yatai version, with tadpoles on the back and a small circle with PP written inside and numbers next to it. I didn't feel like it after receiving it, so I took it to the counter for inspection. As a result, the lady at the counter said it was true. Open the bottle cap and smell it, the real fragrance will be refreshing and elegant, and the fake fragrance will be strong, because L 'Oré al's products are famous for their three-day fragrance. Another thing is to shake the bottle, which is the real thing: shake it gently, and there will be even, small and rich bubbles, which will disappear soon, otherwise it will be fake. In addition, the feeling of rubbing is that it absorbs quickly and is very refreshing. If you really can't tell the difference, take it to the counter for comparison! The imported toner and facial cleanser have no outer box and plastic seal, while some domestic bottles have plastic seal. It is also important to pay special attention to products with outer boxes. The batch number of the outer box should be the same as that of the inner bottle. For example, the outer box says FE24 1, and the batch number on the bottle should also be FE24 1. Second, look at the production address of L 'Oré al products: the total distribution address of L 'Oré al in Singapore, Philippines and Malaysia and the address of Indonesian manufacturers will be written on the outer box. See the figure below for details. You can pay attention to the last sentence: "Made for L 'Oré al Paxxx by Pt Yasulor Indonesia, J.L Raya Bogor KM 26.4, Ciracas Pasar Rebo, Jakarta Timur 13740 Indonesia. "This is the address of the Indonesian manufacturer. Third: Look at the date of production: L 'Oreal made in Suzhou, China. The shelf life is marked below the batch number, not the date of production. The subject matter of import is the date of production. Generally, the shelf life of L 'Oreal products is 3 years. According to the production batch number and date, you can also simply judge whether the product is true or false. Because the batch number and the production date are completely corresponding. For example, the batch number is FD076A, and it can be seen that it was produced on the 76th day of 2007, so we can infer that it was produced on March 17, 2007, which just corresponds to the production date below the batch number. But fakes can't do this. Fakes are randomly marked with batch numbers and dates, which do not correspond at all. You can judge the authenticity by this. In addition, the bar code of L 'Oré al Indonesia usually starts with 88 or 89. As for the difference in taste and texture between L 'Oré al made in Indonesia and the counter, this is a matter of different opinions. I also have many buyers who have compared it at the counter. Some buyers have been using L 'Oreal made in Suzhou before. Some buyers think there is no difference between taste and texture, while others think the imported version is better. Although the origin is different, the basic formula is the same. However, it is normal that cosmetics are affected by different geographical environments and temperatures. Just as American butter and British butter are incomplete, American Maybelline is different from domestic Maybelline. Regarding the price, the price made in Indonesia is indeed cheaper than that in Suzhou. Because Suzhou manufacturers and L 'Oré al's agents in China will control the price, it is impossible for domestic products to get too low a discount. But even if it is cheap, there is a limit. For example, L 'Oré al Water Essence from 40 yuan is available online, and the counter price is 1 10, which is less than 60% off. This price must be fake. Fourth: look at product packaging. All genuine packaging must be much more delicate than imitation packaging and printing. I bought a genuine MM once, and it's easy to tell when I buy it next time. For example, the genuine carton is very tall and straight, and the plastic packaging outside is that kind of crunchy feeling. When it was opened, it crumpled into a ball and soon spread out. The printed words are clear, the packaging is brand new, and the fake ones look old and dirty. Fifth, look at the anti-counterfeiting technology of product packaging. In other words, the green and red stripes of the products packaged in the box are all soft pearl colors, and you can feel the pearl light inside. And the L 'Oré al logo on the box is slightly raised, which is not at the same level as the carton. That kind of feeling is like the feeling of thick oil painting pigment dripping on paper, and it is also a faint sense of pearl. L 'Oré al and the words in the second row and the third row below it feel like Braille. You can feel it by touching the words with your eyes closed. The picture below is genuine. You can compare it. Whether there is a box or not, as long as there are green and red stripes, it should be shiny. The label on the top of the box should be raised. L 'Oré al and the words in the second row and the third row below it feel like Braille. It's gone. ! Well, the above are some methods and skills to distinguish between true and false L 'Oré al, hoping to help girls.
