I bought Shiseido White Lucent Foam recently. I have a doubt if it's real or fake. It said "Made in Japan" Any of your comments would be appreciated.

Re: Does anyone know how to spot fake Shiseido products?

If if were me, I would avoid buying anything from anyone based in China. This is due to the fact that there exist so many fraud threads that pertain to sellers from that country.

If you purchase from sellers within your own country, you at least have some recourse.

Always pay by PP via a credit card too.

Shiseido is made in Japan
I sell the foundations, and this is what it says on the box, and also on the label that is on the bottle itself
Made in Japan
Shiseido Co, LTD 7-5-5 Ginza Tokyo
Shiseido Dist
New York, Paris, Milano

(I believe the last line, is the countries that distribute the product)

Go to a store and buy it in person. Practically foolproof.

So? that doesn't necessarily mean that the entire china is a big fraud itself. think of the population in china, with such a high population of course there would be more fraud than countries like canada and US. have you been to china before? you are just being stereotype and raciest!

A buyer can feel the texture of purchases of cosmetics/health products, also use a magnifier on the container/glass or plastic etc.  Blurry glass that is more thick and heavy than is necessary is a sign of cheap manufacturing (which is NOT famous designer style at all!)  If plastic is used, is it well crafted, embellished with carving or silver or gold?  An expensive designer can use plastic to dispense product, but it will be stylish or seductive to the touch with smoothness, polish or texture.  Fakes take shortcuts on the packaging (ie large bulky seams in glass or plastic, rough edges that aren't streamlined (think dollar store style)  The printing of the ''designer they are coping''will even be blurry, the whole article will not completely feel expensive, check the neck and cap connections etc.

I just bought a product from someone who said they were from "United States" but it was a complete and waste due to FAKE! Buyer beware anymore on ebay! Ebay is losing business because it continues to allow Sellers to sell all these fakes and they are should do something about it but obvious believe it will not hurt their business but it is!
