The popularity of K-Beauty has brought a serious problem: piracy. Counterfeit products that can be dangerous for the skin and that are not subject to any regulations.
Here we explain how to avoid falling into them.
1. Only buy from official distributors
Imitations abound on social media, street markets, and unregulated websites.
Always make sure the seller has traceability.
2. Check the label in Spanish
Legal products must have:
-
Label in Spanish
-
Health information
-
Batch, date, distribution
3. Check for suspiciously low prices
If the price seems too good to be true… it probably is.
4. Check texture, smell and packaging
Imitations usually have:
-
Different colors
-
Incorrect fonts
-
Strange textures
5. Prefer importers with professional logistics
Companies with proper customs processes guarantee that the product is original.
