How to Spot the Real vs. Fake Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum: A Complete Guide




After sharing my review of the Anua Dark Spot Correcting Serum, many of you reached out, asking how to identify the genuine Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum. As a long-time fan of K-beauty products since 2016, I understand the confusion surrounding these products, especially for those new to Korean skincare.


Before moving to the UK, I exclusively used K-beauty products, and there’s something you need to know: Korean skincare brands often have multiple packaging variants. For example, products sold in Seoul are labeled entirely in Korean for the local market. However, for international shipments, brands must comply with FDA labeling standards, which include English instructions and ingredient lists.


The Truth About Fake vs. Real Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum


To address your concerns, I received numerous screenshots highlighting supposed “fake” versions of the serum. To get accurate answers, I reached out to my childhood best friend, who works in a renowned skincare manufacturing company in Seoul. Here’s what I learned:

• Misleading Claims by Content Creators: Many creators on social media are spreading false information about product differences, causing unnecessary panic among skincare enthusiasts.

• Key Differences Between Real and Fake: My friend shared that the fake version of the Axis-Y serum has only two noticeable differences:

1. Fragrance: The fake serum contains added fragrance, while the authentic product is fragrance-free and only have smell of ingredients. The real serum has a light, milky texture and smells naturally of its ingredients.

2. Cap Interior: The fake product’s cap is completely clear inside, with no colored details (yellow or blue spots).


Myth Busting: Viral Claims About Cap Colors


One of the most viral claims is that the cap’s interior color indicates authenticity. This is completely false. Both the yellow and blue caps are authentic and produced by Axis-Y in Seoul.

• Yellow Caps: These are meant for the Central Asia market.

• Blue Caps: These are designed for the EU region.


So, if you own a serum with either cap color, rest assured—you have the real deal!


As someone living in the UK, I use the blue-cap version, and it has worked wonders for me. However, as I mentioned in my earlier review, don’t expect overnight results. Axis-Y’s serum typically takes 3–4 months to show remarkable improvements, so patience is key.


Final Thoughts and Tips


Before trying any skincare product, make sure to:

1. Know Your Skin Type: Not all products work for everyone, so it’s crucial to understand your skin’s needs.

2. Patch Test: Always test a small amount of the product on your skin to check for irritation or allergies before full application.


Remember, the insights I share here are based on my personal experience and my skin type. If you’ve tried the Axis-Y serum, I’d love to hear about your results!


Let’s continue to educate ourselves and debunk myths about skincare together. Stay confident, and happy skin-caring!

IS MY ANUA FAKE ?

Recently, I purchased the Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum from this link: https://www.skincupid.co.uk/products/anua-niacinamide-10-txa-4-dark-spot-correcting-serum-30ml When I received the product, I was alarmed—it seemed fake! I had heard such good things about Anua, so I felt deceived. On social media, there were multiple videos claiming that genuine Anua products have a ring on the dropper neck, but mine didn’t. I contacted the brand through email, and they informed me that they had changed the packaging recently. Still feeling uneasy, I decided to reach out directly to Anua. Unfortunately, it took them nearly 18 days to reply, but when they finally did, their response was both thorough and reassuring. The Anua team explained that due to supply chain issues, they had to use a different packaging supplier for certain batches, which is why some didn’t have the ring. To my relief, the product was genuine after all! Now, let me share my experience using the seru...

Glow Recipe's reformulated AHA Night Cream has sparked a wide range of reactions, with users debating the pros and cons of both the old and new versions. While the changes in texture and overall feel are the most significant updates, there are benefits to both formulations depending on personal skin care needs. Let’s take a closer look at what each version has to offer. *Original AHA Night Cream: Benefits* The previous version of Glow Recipe’s AHA Night Cream had a thicker, white texture that some users loved for its rich, deeply hydrating feel. It provided a heavy-duty moisturizing experience, making it ideal for those with dry or dehydrated skin. The heavier consistency was perfect for locking in moisture overnight, leaving the skin feeling supple and plump by morning. Additionally, the original formula dried down quickly, making it feel like a more intense treatment that absorbed deeply into the skin. Those with very dry skin, or those looking for a more nourishing and long-last...
