Imported vs Local: What Actually Changes
Same brand, different market, sometimes a different formula. Here's what to check.
Brands reformulate for local regulations. A sunscreen sold in Korea may use filters not
approved elsewhere, which is often why the texture is lighter.
Check the batch code and the manufacture date on the box. Most skincare is good for 30 months unopened and 12 after opening.
Packaging differs by market too. The same serum can arrive in a pump in one region and a
dropper in another — that's normal, not a sign of a fake.
