How to Spot Counterfeit Cosmetics

Always remember the four P’s of identification!

Place of Purchase

Buy cosmetics from authorized retailers, reputable beauty stores, or the brand’s official website. Avoid purchasing from unfamiliar online sellers, street vendors, or unauthorized marketplaces, as these are common sources of counterfeit cosmetics.

Price Discrepancies

If the price of a cosmetic product seems too good to be true or significantly lower than the regular market price, it may be a red flag for counterfeiting.

Packaging & Branding

Examine the packaging for any signs of poor quality printing, misspellings, or inconsistencies with the genuine brand.

Product Texture and Smell

Counterfeit cosmetics may have an unusual texture, an unpleasant odour, or feel different when applied.
