Is this a genuine, fresh SkinMedica product?

As far as I know it is genuine. Like the other respondent, only problem I had was with the pump, but I've had that issue before with this product. That problem in and of itself makes me pretty sure it's authentic. I love the product. Interested as well in the organic product...

As far as I could tell; however I couldn't see any visible expiration dates. I, too, would like to know what organic alternative responder 1 refers to!

I never had an issue with ordering what I thought was an authentic product. Unfortunately, I don't use skinmedica anymore but an organic line that is much cheaper with better results!

I believe it is - the only problem I encountered was an issue with the pump. I'd be interested in knowing what organic product the responder switched to (see July 1 response below) as the Skin Medica product is pretty expensive (even on Amazon) and because of the packaging you can't tell when you're about to run out.

The packaging and bottle seem very authentic. I'd never ordered SkinMedica before, so I wouldn't know a fake. But I did like the product.

I have purchased two of the Vitamin C + E Complex in the last year and they both arrived sealed in a SkinMedica box never opened. I believe this is authentic product.I recommend that once you open the box you keep it and leave the bottle upside down in the box. If you read the directions online it tells you to shake bottle upside down to allow the product to come up to the pump. When I used the first bottle I didn't read the instruction and I thought the bottle was empty very soon. After leaving it upside down the product settled into the pump and I was able to use all the product after that I didn't have to shake it anymore.I now store the bottle upside down in the box until it is empty and have no complaints.

Yes, it is the real product. I think many products that were once sold to salons are also sold to the public, ie Redken, etc.

I believe it to be the real stuff that I have paid much more for online before. I use it every day and hope it is doing something to help my skin. It was recommended to me by a dermatologists office.

I'm not sure what you mean, but as far as authenticity it is exactly the same product I've gotten from sephora :). If it's not legit it fooled me. Hope that answered your question :).

I wouldn't know between authentic or counterfeit, but the products (shampoo and conditioner) I received are very, very thick and come out of a squeeze tube-like bottle almost like toothpaste. I really like what it does for my hair.

according to the skin medica website, products sold on internet websites, like this one, are either "watered down, expired, or not their product." but where the heck is the expiry date then????

Not aure how you would validate the true authenticity of the product but I really love it. It feels and smells great and my skin does appear to look better.

Not a fake - i love this product and use it every day to take away my redness. I've ordered it several times through Amazon.

it is the real thing, i compared it with the one at my tanning salon and it was the same exact things. usually the ones that are fake will be an obviously unreal price like 10, 15$

As a licensed esthetician, I would highly recommend that you purchase Image skincare products from a salon or day spa. There is a strong possibility that Image skincare products sold here are not authentic and/or expired.

Yes it's 100% the real product! Exactly what you would buy in the spas etc for half the price!! Put it in your cart and buy it! �

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 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 !

An authentic TNS serum has a serial number on the bottom of the packaging. Before you unwrap the cellophane, you can always call Skin Medica to verify the legitimacy and freshness of your product.

Good question. There are no dates on the packaging. I'm always hesitant to buy skin products, makeup, or other high end items on Amazon because they appear to be either knock-offs. BUT, the consistency and scent of this moisturizer is legit and works just as good as the one I bought from my dermatologist. I keep a bottle on hand for when I run out, just as back up.

The seller I bought from sold me a genuine product, since I managed to register it on the Clarisonic website. I got mine from Health and Beauty On-Line Store.

Mine is kind of beige. But, after your message, I reviewed the Skinmedica web site. Based on that, I'll have to order from them. They warn about counterfeit products and/or added ingredients. One of the sellers listed is Amazon. I love Amazon, but think this time, I'll have to go with the manufacturer.
