hi I'm Coy or love it whichever one you wish  to call me and if you're an old subscriber if  

you have seen my face for the for some time  now welcome back thanks for joining I highly  

appreciate you [Music] guys so in my previous  video I got a question about the cave product  

which is how do you know the fake to the original  so now I'm going to like explain from my own  

perspective of the svei products because I have  gotten the fake one before and I've gotten the  

real one also this is the real one this is what it  looks like this is the back this is the packaging  

so now let's start from the Bas it so first of  all the fake one is slightly bigger than this  

you would never know from the packaging if you  see the fake one you would never know that it  

is fake because of the packaging but once you  see it compared to the original one you'll see  

that the packaging is like slightly bigger than  the original one so this is the first thing I  

noticed from my previous ones from the previous  one that I have used and I am sorry I don't have  

the old container anymore but this is what I have  noticed so when you are buying it just check for  

the sizing this one is like smaller I don't know  maybe maybe I will measure maybe I will measure  

like the size and then I'll put it on the screen  so you guys would know so that whenever you are  

like trying to buy it you can just measure and  know the size of the container so I'll measure  

it and tell you guys I'll put it on the screen  on here so you guys can see now the second thing  

I noticed from the packaging again is like is  that the fake one is like brighter it has this  

bright color compared to the original one the  original one is like a little bit dim than the  

fake one the fake one is like so bright now we  are really talking about the packaging because um  

whenever you you get this product is like sealed  or something I don't know but mine came sealed the  

the fake one came sealed the original one came  sealed so um now I'm just like explaining the  

packaging then they are always misspelling things  like on the back not on the front the front is  

like good I'm going to show you a picture of the  front one again here because I've used it so the  

front one is like the fake one the front is like  like like this the um ink and everything is like  

the same color but coming to the back they always  have misspellings on here the direct is like dries  

I don't know they just misspell everything and  just like like put it on there and send it to  

you and um now the other thing I noticed is this  so you can lock and you can unlock which doesn't  

happen with my fake one the fake one I got does  not look and unlock and when I got the fake one  

like when I got that one from an online store it  came like leaking and everything I was like what  

happened is like too hard to press you to take  you like all your strengths to press the pump so  

that's how you know the fake one to the original  one now let's talk about the inking so some places  

on the on this like as you can see they wrote um  for dry rough bumpy skin on here on here you see  

for dry bumpy skin the inking on the original one  is like it's not like too bold or too light it's  

like just normal but on the fake one the inking  is like too bright like dim dim bright as I'll  

show you guys a picture also on the screen so  you guys would compare by yourself but this is  

what I have noticed compared to the actual product  inside the container this one is like lightweight  

I recently just got this one so this one is like  super light weight like whenever you pick it up  

it's like watchy like it just have this how do  I explain this without opening and pumping out  

this product okay I'm going to pump it out this  is the consistency did you see this on the fake  

one the consistency is like [ __ ] if you watched  my last video like I have a video on the product  

I have a video on this product where when I got  it I used it for my face um it is Gummy it is  

gir but it does not lather but this particular  one does lather a little bit so these are like  

the comparison to the products this is what I  noticed from the two products ever since I started  

now let's talk about um how they work so the fake  one is like is not bad it's like how do I explain  

this without putting it in a bad way or if very  red way okay let me say the let me say the fake  

one is a cleanser okay but let's just say it does  not contain salicylic acid let's just say the the  

fake one is like a normal cleanser for every skin  type so it's more like the person just produced a  

normal um cleanser and then they use the packaging  of SRA to like package it so that people will  

still be buying it as s product so it's a normal  cleanser as for me it did not irritate my skin it  

did not do anything to my skin it only helps with  oil since is a cleanser yes of course it's going  

to help with o production and all those things  but it just wasn't right I was using it I was not  

seeing the result that everybody was hyping it for  so I used it once and I did not get again but when  

I found out that it has the fake and it has the  original I decided to save up and get the original  

one now if you go on some website where I got my  own it was very very cheap um if you want to know  

the website please I'll put it in the comments  I'm sorry I'm not going to like mention it up  

here but I'm going to just put it in the comments  if you want to know just come to the comments I'm  

going to tell you there on this website you see a  lot of um reviews on on there telling you that the  

product works amazing it's good some people say is  good for a fake is good for a fake but sometimes  

I'm like maybe this person is like they don't  really know the fake because even if you ask them  

they don't really know the original one so they'll  just be like it's it's good for a fake some people  

will tell you that is good based on the amount so  if you see something like that please run for your  

life that's not the original product and on this  website they sold it like way cheaper than any  

other thing like any other working store you go  to they sell it like way way cheaper if you know  

you know so um in working shops you get this at  um 16 17 right now at market price I don't know  

the price is hiking up in Nigeria I'm in Nigeria  anyways so it's like going up and going up so the  

prices is like 17 18 I've seen someone who sells  for 18 I've seen someone who sells for 17 I got  

mine for 168 I guess I got mine for 168 so this  is like what happens and moreover um on website  

they don't tell you that uh they don't show  you like everything they just take pictures  

of the original one and like send it to you and  then you just by thinking that it's the original  

one but when you get it you just notice that it  is the fake this big logo I noticed from my old  

video but it was not like clearing up and I don't  have that particular video anymore so it's like a  

big logo on here I don't know what that is it's  not clear but I looked at it very well it is not  

here like make sure you're checking the back  container before you start cheing like I said  

it did not irritate my skin neither did it do the  job that it was recommended for so just make sure  

that you're just doing your research and make  sure that you are going to the right stores to  

buy it make sure that the online vendor you are  getting it for from is actually um someone that  

is Trust instead you know because most people just  get anything and they just sell it to you at the  

original price they just get it for cheap and they  sell it at the original price so just make sure  

that you are not getting food whenever you are  getting this product and yeah with that I think  

this is all the things I have noticed with this  product especially with this product so this is  

all the things I have noticed with this particular  product and yeah so that's it for this video I  

hope you enjoy it I hope I was able to explain it  um right and I'll see you guys in my next one bye
