Skincare on Ebay?

[bunni]

I bought recently 3 Neutrogena creams coz it was cheaper that way, its healthy skin anti-wrinkle cream (i reviewed this item), it helps me even out my skin tone and its full of antioxidants and vitamins. Anyways, the one i bought off of ebay seems to not be working as well as the one from store did. do you think its possible to make a fake one? how do i know if its a real cream or some refill?

It was all sealed, i had to pop the opening before using it. i just hope i am not putting some who knows what on my face every night. :icon_roll thanks for your replies!

i looked on all of them there isn't one. they don't look too old, unless they were kept well, not sure. they do have questions/comments USA toll free number for neutrogena.

it hasn't broken me out, which is good i think, but usually it works really well on my skin, patches dissapear, i see more even skin tone. not with these though.

Just gonna ask the same thing,perhaps it is old,or a knock off?

Like in ny when you buy a perfume in canal st. and they say its real.It only lasts a very short time then it smells like pure alcohol:icon_roll:icon_chee

oh man, i shouldn't trust with skincare on ebay.

Yes, it is possible to receive a fake. Did it come with packing? If so, look for serial numbers on the container and packing then give the company customer service a call? Nowadays it is possible to bootleg anything, oil filters, birth control pills etc. The television program 60 Minutes has shown documentaries about this problem. Most of it comes from Japan and China.

Why would someone make fake Neutrogena though, it isnt that expensive. I have bought Aveeno lotion on ebay, b/c I got a good deal for a few bottles, but they were real. Whoah, fake birth control pills? Were they from online pharmacies or something, b/c I have heard of that. Once I read about some guy who posted an ad for oxycontin on ebay, it was pulled off the site pretty fast. What a moron.

How much did you pay, if you don't mind my asking? If it wasn't much it probably wouldn't be worth it to the seller to go through that much trouble? Do you have an item # I could look at?
