My thoughts also. Where is the UMF licensee. I didn't find on the list - http://www.umf.org.nz/licenseesA comment said this was a good company - BUT where is the Proof that this is PURE Manuka Honey.

Hey there! Well firstly, the company is pretty well known by people around the world for the quality of their product. Secondly, the honey is going to be a much darker and thicker. It'll taste a lot different compared to the usual honey somebody can buy off the store, and it is somewhat "gritty". I really like it, and it will be pretty obvious to tell the difference between the two once you receive it!

I have purchased several jars of honey from this company. It has a very different taste from honey here in the US. I can't give you a 100% sure way, but that would be one. Also, I have used this for healing mainly and it works very well.

My jar says Ceylon Cinnamon and I can DEFINITELY tell a difference in the taste of this compared to the cheaper cinnamon. It has a sweeter flavor. So regardless of what the picture shows, according to ingredients listed (certified organic Ceylon Cinnamon) and taste, I'd say it's the real deal.

It's raw honey and that's the way it's supposed to look. The honey you see that is golden colored has either been heated and/or water added.

The one in the pic is, but that doesn't mean the one they sell you is going to be. But when you get it you will be able to tell. Cuz you can go on YouTube and there are a lot of videos that show you and talk about fakes. And if you get it and it is fake. Amazon has the best customer service of any store I've ever shopped with. So I'm sure they would make it right with you.

That's what I received. We love the taste. Reminds me of the honey I had when I was a kid.

I think this is a valid question, I have received a fake product not from amazon yet from 3rd party amazon seller a perfume seller who said it was authentic and was not. I ordered this Moroccan oil and it is not sealed packaging and I was okay yet cannot be sure its authentic because packaging was not sealed.

Nope. Mine was a fake. If you google "fake Shu Uemura curler" you'll find several blogs with photos comparing the real and the counterfeits (also YouTube videos), including the ways you can tell on the boxes they come in whether yours is real or fake... Hope you get a real one!

I bought directly from Amazon, not from one of the other suppliers. Mine was real. I bought my first one from sweetmarias.com. It also was a Hario

The product that I received was the real deal. Used to sell it so I can assure you. :) If it's a fake they've gone to a great deal of trouble.

Most original packaging does have a serial number or a distributor code on the box. You can also tell by the way it sprays out. If it sprays like a body spray, too much and too fast it is fake. If it feels cold on the skin more so than usual, it is fake.

The box was sealed in what appeared to be original cellophane, but the seller was Beauty Encounter, not La Prairie. Is the product counterfeit?

If you buy it direct from Amazon, you can rest assured it's an original and they'll stand by the product. If you buy from some fly-by-night storefront, you'll probably get a fake.

That's a valid question, but I don't know how you can be sure its authentic. Except, I've never had Amazon ship me anything but the authentic item. I bought this and it certainly seems to be real.

No. my received item is not genuine and official product. i think, it is one of imitaions. If you have a plan to buy this item, i'm completely opposed to do it. Thanks.

Don't risk it - and if you do only order from a seller that is "fulfilled by Amazon" (so you can return it, because you will probably need to). I received bottles that looked like the real ones (but it did NOT come in the packaging that the official duo comes in), but when I compared the scent of this to an authentic bottle it was very apparent that this it was not the real PM product. And with the volume of reviews that indicate others have had the same problem, I think it is best to stick with official Paul Mitchell suppliers (which you can find on their website - the price isn't that much more than the ones on here).

Exactly. I don't think we can be assured of authenticity. Is it even legal to repackage a product and represent it as the original? If I were the Haribo company (or any other vendor this happens to), I would not be happy.

I imagine the only way to tell if a product is for real is if the seller is reputable, hard to do. I prefer Amazon as the seller over private vendors since there is recourse in case of fraud. I have bought products before from outside vendors that are sealed and have not been suspicious. Sometimes vendors are cheaper since they have products they didn't use or get free samples. I do like skinceuticals so good luck !
