Is your Skin79 BB Cream in Hot Pink authentic or fake?

Howdy! I'm sure everybody has noticed that recently, there are more imitation cosmetic products that are coming out in the market. Singapore authentic, Hong Kong/China authentic, whatever.. I did a little research on how to tell the difference between an authentic Skin79 BB Cream in hot pink from the fake one. Skin79 has recently changed the packaging of their products and here are the significant details I found out in verifying the authenticity of your Skin79 BB Cream in hot pink. Basically the fake ones are still sporting the older look of the packaging.

Let's start with the box:

1) Real: shorter box, Fake: taller box

2) Real: writings on the front of the box are thinner and sharper including the logo, Fake: writings are thicker

3) Real: no barcode at the back of the box, Fake: has barcode at the back of the box

4) Real: has a dotted line at the back of the box where you could rip the box open, Fake: has no dotted line

5) Real: barcode can be found at the bottom of the box, Fake: no barcode at the bottom

6) Real: has both manufacture and expiration date at the bottom of the box, Fake: only has the expiration date at the bottom of the box

7) Real: noticeable circle around the SUPER+ Beblesh Balm label on top of the box, Fake: circle at the top of the box is not that noticeable

8) Real: has writings in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean inside of the box, Fake: only has the Skin79 logo printings inside of the box.

Now let's go check out the bottle:

9) Real: bottle is shorter, Fake: bottle is taller

10) Real: no plastic cover on the product dispensing spout, Fake: still has a plastic cover on the product dispensing spout

11) Real: Skin79 logo at the front is closer to the base of the bottle, Fake: Skin79 logo is slightly higher from the base

12) Real: press down button for product dispensing is silver in color, Fake: press down button is white in color

13) Real: manufacture date can also be found at the base of the bottle, Fake: manufacture date can be found at the lower part of the surface of the bottle, not at the base

14) Real: has authenticity sticker, Fake: doesn't have authenticity sticker

15) Real: base color is pink, Fake: has a silver colored base

16) Real: circular shaped dispenser button on top, Fake: half-capsule shaped dispenser button on top

So far these are the many obvious ways to tell whether a Skin79 BB Cream in hot pink is authentic or fake. With regard to the product itself, of course quality is definitely better with the authentic one. The fake product looks runny and doesn't blend well on the skin. In terms of the effects of the fake product, I don't think I'd wanna know... haha!
