Is there any difference when you buy this serum from Amazon versus direct from official skin ceuticals website? Is the product old or dis colored?

I got a fake when I ordered with Amazon (Beauty Perfect). I guess the deal was too good to be true.

There is no difference, however, make sure its being shipped by Amazon and not a third party. Box should always be sealed. Dont accept it if its not. Hope that helps.

My experience so far has been good. I have done both. Amazon was fine. I hope it continues like that.

I've ordered this product direct from Skinceutics & Amazon. I don't see any difference between the products. The product from Amazon was fresh & clear, not discolored.

I've bought multiple bottles of this serum over the past year or so, and it's all been brown. And it's a wonderful product which has worked wonders for my skin! So, pretty sure it's supposed to be that color.

It seems very similar to me, though someone I know said that it may be expired stuff that they've put a different date on and that's why it's so much cheaper... I will say that before discovering it so low on Amazon, I would occasionally get on skincaremarket.net and other beauty sites for at least 20% off, so for example they have the transformation product at $72 right now... That seemed exactly the same as the first ones I got at full price...

Seems very fresh to me. There is no discoloration. It's in a tinted glass jar which keeps it safe from the light and I also keep it in a dark drawer as opposed to out on a counter. I've had great results with this serum.

I actually use this product and love it. I do not know if there is a difference between this product and the one in the darker bottle. My guess is that one is just older packaging, but I do not know for sure.

I buy this product about every six months. It is the genuine Skinceuticals product. The packaging and the bottle itself are the same as the ones I can buy at my dermatologist's office. I did not find any expiration date but I have never had a problem with the product I buy at Amazon...I just save some money.

On SkinMedica's site they have a list of unauthorized sellers. They state they do not sell to the listed vendors. One has to question a product produced in Hong Kong when it is suppose to be made in the USA. An expiration date should be listed in the description. I too love bargains, but there should be uniform packaging displayed in the various listings and I just don't see it. For those reasons I just can't purchase any Skin Medica products on Amazon.

The serum is an orange tan color, but I don't recall mine ever having granules in it, and I've probably gone through 10 bottles over the years. Is it actually the serum or is dead skin coming up when you apply the serum?

Mine was a counterfeit too. Better to buy from Clarisonic directly or an authorized retailer instead. The serial number was not valid according to Clarisonic when attempting to register it. When I requested a refund I was given a full refund, no questions asked. In fact, I was told that I did not even need to return the item at all. Also, there was no seal on the lotion tube. I ended up buying direct from Clarisonic and I was surprised to see the lotion had a seal. Hmm... I wonder what was in that tube? Buyer beware!!! Strange that seller's address in the shipping box led to a house according to online maps. Mine was a counterfeit too. Better to buy from Clarisonic directly or an authorized retailer instead.

I bought two Microfoliants direct from Amazon.com ( Amazon being the seller), I have noticed that both bottles no longer have a printed security seal on top of box ( just a clear seal), and also they don't have a hologram. This question is for someone that has recently bought from an authorised salon, does your bottle have the above security features, or has Dermalogica changed there packaging ?. Thanks :-)

Hi Natasha - My Bella Vouex Serum is a very pale, clear yellow as well. Just know that it is a wonderful serum and it works really well. Enjoy it!

I believe it is the original just had a change in packaging. I have ordered this twice since my dermatologist has discontinued selling the product. This first experience was great. However, the last time I ordered from a different vendor and had to return it due to poor packaging (it was not sealed or wrapped). I returned the item and have not ordered since then. I used this product for a few years and liked it very much. However, I have since been hesitant to reorder.

I originally bought this from my dermatologist office. But it's cheaper on Amazon. It is exactly the same product.

I purchased what I thought was bare minerals on amazon trying to save money. It was fake. As soon as I put it on I noticed the coverage was not the same at all. The color was off and my face started itching like crazy. I googled it and found this helpful site to determine that mine was counterfeit: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Bare-Escentuals-vs-Bare-Minerals-/10000000176613767/g.html

I love Image Vital C products. However, every time I have bought any of Image's products online I have received an imitation of that product, some better than others. Image states in the website "products are solely sold by licensed aestheticians and physicians in spas, medical spas and physicians offices. It is our philosophy to not sell our products over the internet or in department stores." Personally, I no longer purchase these products online, I purchase through my licensed aesthetician. For me, there is a big difference in the quality.

I believe it to be 100% real product because it didn't because the packaging and product appear to be the exact same. I paid a lot less than purchasing it from the salon-spa that sold the product. I love this product and can see such positive change in my aging skin...... I hope this information is helpful!!!!!
