Hi Ladies ^-^
Have you ever purchased Clinique products online?
As I can't live without 3-step Products, and they are so expensive in Japan, I started buying them online from strawberrynet
(btw I'm skin type 2-3 depending on the season)
I love their service, and I was always happy with the products and bonuses they give.
But in my last order, my "dramatically different moisturizing gel" was a little bit fishy. Fishy packaging. And feels so strange even when I try it on my dry leg skin :(
I've bought a travel set of this "3-Step Skin Care" last spring in a duty free shop in an airport. So I still have some few left. But the moisturizer is finishing soon >___<
It doesn't have pump, and it's a little bit bigger than usual (it says 6.7 OZ/ 200 ml). Also, it doesn't have anything written in French (like I usually see on clinique products).
I really want some opinions if this product is fake or not... If it is FAKE, I need to buy a new one soon. This time from a real dept. store T_T

I have a small one of these and it doesn't have a pump but as far as I know it is only the tester sizes that don't come with one. Unfortunately I think this might be fake :(

Thanks for letting us know! I always feel uneasy buying cosmetics online unless it is from a recognized retailer. Ebay is a demon for doing stuff like this, I have heard some horror stories!

I used to use Clinique and they did come in that size and without the pump but that was about 6-7 years ago. So maybe it's not fake but just really... OLD. Ack & Ick.

oh... I was thinking to use it as body lotion. But 6-7 years??? Who would want that on their skin? T___T Strawberrynet has a good service, I have to admit. They deliver really fast to Japan. Too bad I can't return this product and get my money back :( They mentioned in their website that they can't do it if I have used the product.
I learnt the lesson in a very hard way :| Be careful girls

The package is completely different from what I see every single day. The 6.7 oz bottle comes with a pump, and the edges of the bottle are too "squared" off. The writing on the front definitely has more writing on it... Sorry dear =\

When in doubt don't fight it. Dump it and go to the real deal. Don't settle for cheap because you are only risking your health. This is a definite fake and this won't be the last that you'll see.I've seen fake CD eyeshadow compacts along with Chanel and MAC. Watch out when buying online.

Hmmmm looks pretty fishy to me, too! I had a similar experience with allcosmeticswholesale.com. I bought a Bobbi Brown foundation that was half empty! It wasn't a fake but it was probably a tester... and if it was they should have told me that. I haven't bought from them since : /
