HI girls,
I happened to bump into Pasar Malam in SS2 on monday.
Found out tons of this brand of masks which i used all the time...
I wanted to buy it with rm 5 for 10 pieces of rm 6 for 10 pieces...

The question is...

I doubt if it is real or fake one.

I saw got two types...
One is manufactured in CHINA
another one is in TAIWAN.

China cheaper like rm 5-7 per box,
Taiwan is like rm 18 and above per box.

I not dare to buy without acknowledge it to be real or fake.

Can anyone tells me how to differenciate the fake and is it safe to buy from PM?

Not to be biased but when it comes to products manufactured in China, I always think negatively of it. Of course, there are great and genuine things made there.

One of the best way to spot fakes it through their packaging, is the quality of the printing good? Spelling errors? Are the details written on the packaging believable (ingredients, location of manufacture, barcode ect)?

Since Guardian is also selling this mask and I believe that they're selling authentic products, might as well compare the ones you see at the pasar malam with those there. Hope this helps.

ok thanks

I bought some of the masks from the pm.
And found out that the printing of the packaging have no errors...
BUT........
The quality of the packaging is different than the original that i have.

Then, i open the PM one and original one....
the quality of the paper of the mask is different too.......
PM is thinner, Original is thicker...
about the texture of the fluid...i tested on the hands...dont seems irritation.

What is this suppose to mean?
PM one is fake one?
Barcode is correct, printing is correct just the packaging quality is different.....

hmmm...anyone who come across with this?

PM one is fake. Read about it somewhere here on LYN. But you might already know that. ^^;

Thanks for the info Mary. I was so shocked myself seeing huge differences in pricing for the same product ....
