Has anyone found that this is counterfeit product? These prices are extremely low. I noticed EltaMD website they warn to not use unauthorized reselle

Mine came packaged the exact same way it did from when I purchased it directly from my dermatologist.

I do not know if this is counterfeit but as the price is lower by approx. 1/3 I assumed that the physicians office has an extremely high mark up.

I wondered about this myself after seeing the unusually low price. My product appears to be the same, is packaged the same way and feels the same as it always has.

Don't know. But this product has always been a good value at its full price. Mine seems to be the same product.

I haven't noticed any difference (and originally purchased at my dermatologist for about the same price).

Every product I have tried from this company has exceeded my expectations. I really don't have a reason to try anything else. I have purchased TA and Nettle, Horney Goat Weed (be careful ;) ) and a few other products. They seem to be the purist and they work. And as far as I know they were pretty much scientifically first on the market. I've Never Tried TA from any other company. Just make certain it is pure and not mixed with other types of ingredients. If that is the case give it a try. Then give this a try. That is pretty much the only way to know for certain. Also make certain that they aren't selling you a product that has a smaller investment price yet makes you take more pills. If You need to take 6 pills instead of 2 pills then it is not worth it. the only selling point I see on their page is where it is sourced from. I can't remember where this product is sourced from at the moment. But I am pretty certain it is free of all the pesticides and chemicals as well. It would be hard to prove this is true for either company. Still they are Extracting a particular portion of the plant in a sterile environment, supposedly. Which would make the growing process a non issue if they are truly only giving you a pure extract, then nothing else is in it. So I think either one is worth a try. It looks as though NLA also has 1:200 And it looks as though the prices are competitive. Conclusion: Try Them both, they both seem to be good companies, although I don't like the tactic of New Life trying to bash other brands or act holier than thou on their page. This type of extraction science is not new, it has been around for a very long time. And I would guess that SD-200.com has been at it a lot longer and whenever possible have refined their process to give the best product. That is my take. SD-200 won't fail you.

If you look on product pages for other salon products on Amazon you will see at the bottom of the feature highlights something like "68 new from $29.46" This means there are 68 sellers selling the exact same product. At any one time one of those sellers has the "Buy Box", meaning that when you click the Add to Cart button, one of those 68 the sellers is going to get the order. Any one of those sellers could be a Chinese company selling counterfeit products that look exactly like the real thing as far as package design, but what's inside could be very dangerous. If you notice on the Vizeri Beauty products, there are only two sellers. One is directly from our warehouse, and the other comes directly from inventory we shipped to Amazon. At no point should there any other sellers involved since we distribute our products directly. So there is no chance for counterfeits to enter the distribution path. If at any point there are more than two sellers on this product, make sure you buy directly from Vizeri Beauty and not the other seller (Other sellers could temporarily leach on to our listing at which point we will have to take legal action against them).

The price difference between Amazon and the price I pay for ordering from the La Prairie web site worries me too. Sellers usually claim that their low prices are from x,y,and z. Maybe, but I worry that Amazon may have bought at a lower price and obtained product that did not sell elsewhere--meaning that you won't get a fresh product. I'm not a chemist so I can't say in detail, but cosmetics do age just like all chemical mixtures. If somebody more knowledgeable comes up with something, I'd love to know. Elinor

I purchased this product in May and it was sold by Mid-States Beauty it was in authentic packaging and looks like pictured. This is my 3rd purchase of this product. Like you, I think there is something "hinky" with this product and re-sellers of the product. There is no safety packaging to prevent tampering. Mine came sealed with clear packing tape right on the bottle and no box or insert ,the tape was wrinkled and obviously not placed there at the manufacturer. I hate to say we got taken but I think this is just aloe vera gel with green food coloring added. I have used this in the past and it worked famously. Last 2 purchases just didn't do anything but soothe my skin after hair removal.It did not prevent any ingrown hairs and had no effect on the razor bumps already present. Try Bump Stopper 2 double strength. It works overnight with ingrown hairs peeking through the bump within a few hours of application and it's a lot cheaper. I know it's hard to get a refund for these purchases because most of us will give it the old college try and hope it works using it for a minimum of 6 weeks before we realize it ain't doing a thing and by that time NO REFUNDS. So to answer your question I would definitely contact the manufacturer and ask about the "new formulation" but I suspect it's been counterfeited based on my experience and no tamper proof packaging. Maybe Princereigns will wise up and make their product tamper proof when we stop buying it. The product is dispensed from the bottom up and it seems they make sure you can't reuse the bottle but nothing to stop someone from removing the authentic product and refilling it with ??. I hope this helps and give Bump stopper 2 a try it works and quickly. I hope this helps.

ran across the following reply comment repeatedly copy/paste each time a youtube comment would ask or assert "sub'ing instamorph is cheaper version for doing same thing": "I am sharing a note from the TempTooth people - Our material is not the same as Instamorph. Our material is a dental grade material that has been independently tested by Intertek to be safe for oral use. There is a difference in quality and purity, so just be aware.﻿"

The one I got appeared genuine. But, I don't like the product in general, did not see any real results... Retin A micro is probably the only product to actually improve skin.

The manufacturer of this product, Image, does NOT APPROVE OF SELLING ON AMAZON. There are MANY counterfeit products, expired, etc. of skin care products on Amazon. BUYER BEWARE!

I regularly buy my Doterra oils from Amazon or ebay because you don't generally pay tax or shipping on them like you do directly through Doterra, so it slightly reduces the cost... I haven't noticed anything suspicious about and of the oils I've purchased from either site. I obviously can't say for certain that they're not tampered with, but in my opinion they're just fine. I have continued to purchase and use them and don't seem to see any difference between these oils and ones directly from a Doterra consultant.

Hello, Please be assured that the product listed is not a counterfeit product. The item is $23.96 with Swanson Health Products. Unfortunately we do not have any information on why the item would be less expensive on Amazon. In order to find that information please contact the manufacturers. We hope this helps! Kally N

I have not purchased this product from Amazon so I cannot verify its legitimacy. However, just to be clear, SkinCeuticals' website warns consumers that Amazon is NOT one of their authorized online retailers, meaning "the product(s) may be diluted, expired or counterfeit." If I'm going to splurge on a product, I want to have the seller's authenticity guarantee.

This can't be faked, you can send it to a lab. By the way you left already a negative review (which is clearly showing your motive, a competitor. You should not do that it will not help you sell your product, it's just unethical).

This product, when purchased from an authorized retailer (only doctor's offices are authorized to sell any SkinMedica products) is amazing.Amazon is not an authorized retailer of Skin Medica products, so there is a very good chance you are getting counterfeit, watered-down, old or expired product when you purchase from an unauthorized retailer.

I have been buying this product for a few years from different places, Amazon or ebay, never had problems. If the product worked before, and the next purchase seems not working, it probably fake, request a refund.

If it is, it's a good one. It looks exactly like the one in Edwin Watts, but it is $50 cheaper. I think that's the whole point in buying online. If it is counterfeit but performs the same would you have a problem with paying $50 less?

Hi Fred! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede! So glad you asked! BUYER BEWARE for sure! Counterfeit versions of our cables are out there:/ There have been 3 "companies" so far selling cables on Amazon they have linked to our page as The Friendly Swede cables which are NOT our cables. They are counterfeit. Often times when a company like ours has a number one listed cable/product with such a high 5 star rating, there are those that lie in wait to counterfeit us. They latch onto our good name for their own ill gotten gains. Many times these counterfeit cables do not even work! We NEVER sell wholesale to any one company. We sell our own product on our Amazon site exclusively. The best way to protect yourself and make sure you are purchasing cables from The Friendly Swede, is to purchase directly from us on our Amazon page. If another seller is listed on our page it is COUNTERFEIT. Please report any other company listed to us immediately and we will notify Amazon. Thanks again for your question, if you have any further questions or concerns please contact me here:

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).
