How to distinguish whether hyaluronic acid is real or fake

I believe everyone has heard of the substance called hyaluronic acid. It is one of the main raw materials in beauty products such as facial masks and skin care products. It has a good effect on moisturizing human skin, maintaining elasticity and firmness. Precisely because hyaluronic acid is so useful, some unscrupulous manufacturers produce counterfeit products to replace hyaluronic acid. Therefore, people need to master the method of distinguishing the real from the fake. Here we will introduce how to distinguish the real hyaluronic acid.

Although hyaluronic acid is a relatively safe filler, some illegal organizations use counterfeit and shoddy products instead of regular hyaluronic acid in order to commit violence, or they do not have the qualified injection qualifications, which leads to accidents during hyaluronic acid injections. As a consumer, you should also be vigilant. The following will teach you how to distinguish real and fake hyaluronic acid and how to choose a plastic surgery organization.

1. Look at the packaging. Many counterfeit hyaluronic acid packaging is very irregular. Some are produced in Italy, some are produced in France, and the origins are varied. In fact, there are only two types of hyaluronic acid approved by our country. One is Restylane produced in Sweden, and the other is domestically produced Yimei. If consumers are not sure about the packaging identification, there is another way, which is to log on to the website of the State Food and Drug Administration and check the product batch number. Hyaluronic acid introduced through formal channels is registered on the website, so you can find out with a simple check.

2. Identify from the logo: Fake: Logo, the letters "d" and "m" are darker in color, slightly thicker, and have no lines. The three curved lines below are orange-red, orange-yellow, and orange-red respectively. Authentic product: Logo, the two letters "d" and "m" are light black, and the letters have printed lines. The colors of the three curves below are orange-red, light yellow, and orange-red, which are in line with the overall color.

3. Identify from the details on the front: Fake: From the outside, the internal ampoule and the opening are not symmetrical, the snap-on parts do not match, and the fonts on the bottle are cross-printed. Authentic product: The internal ampoule and opening are symmetrical, the snap-on position is centered, and the font on the bottle is clean and clear.
