Genuine vs. Fake LiLash

Just like any popular product or brand – whether it be sunglasses, handbags or makeup – illegal counterfeit products are created in an attempt to capitalise on their popularity and earn a quick buck, regardless of the law and safety of customers.

This hurts the original creators of the brand, but in the case of LiLash and any other product you apply to your face, can also hurt you the consumer.

You’ve probably seen LiLash available for sale on TradeMe, Amazon, eBay and other popular “big box” stores at too-good-to-be-true prices. Unfortunately the reason why it seems too good to be true is because LiLash sold through these retailers is counterfeit or expired product.

Some places sell LiLash without a box. Just ask yourself, if there is nothing wrong with the product, why would they sell it without the box? There is no good reason to do this.

The official LiLash distributor for New Zealand has “secret shopped” these retailers and found the product being sold is not genuine or expired, poorly packaged and will not have undergone the comprehensive testing genuine LiLash has.

Do you really want to risk using counterfeit LiLash near your eyes?

Why Fake LiLash is Dangerous

Counterfeit LiLash is dangerous because it is made from inferior and often times unknown ingredients that have not been thoroughly tested like genuine LiLash has.

As with anything you put on your skin, and especially anything you put anywhere near your eyes, you need to make sure that the product is tested and safe.

Counterfeit LiLash often comes without a box and/or instructions. When a box is provided, you’ll find a poor reproduction of genuine LiLash with spelling mistakes and low quality printing.

How to spot fake LiLash

There are various versions of counterfeit LiLash, however some of the things to look out for:

  • No embossed number on the side of the box
  • No ingredients listed on the side
  • No embossed logo on the front
  • No instructions provided
  • No box provided
  • Foreign language instructions and packaging
  • Spelling mistake on the back “the worle’s fastest acting”
