Cosrx products are very easy to counterfeit, TBH, since the boxes' serial numbers are all the same for each product. So both the authentic ones' and fake ones' serials will check out. Somebymi items are harder to reproduce illegally since each of their products has their own codes and whatnot.
Beauty vloggers on YT often say they don't purchase off of Amazon since they see fakes there. They usually promote Stylevana, Yesstyle and iHerb. I personally buy most of my K-skincare directly from Korea, but I guess it's easier for me than consumers in the West since I'm just in SE Asia.

Hey! I’m from Toronto too and I would not trust Amazon.ca. There are too many counterfeit products. YesStyle is legit but their pandemic shipping cost is crazy. You can check out Jolse.com for K-beauty or their eBay store (iamlove-shop). Their eBay store has free shipping but it takes a few weeks to come from Korea. I’ve never paid taxes or duties cause they don’t declare the full retail value. You can also check out Walmart and T&T Supermarket and Innisfree at the Eaton Centre. I think it’s ok to shop on Amazon Japan, only if the items are sold/shipped by Amazon and not third parties. You’ll have to pay extra for shipping and duties, though I’ve never done it but I saw someone who did it on IG and she said it worked out to be cheaper. I might try that one day. Hope this helps!

I also live in Toronto. I would also recommend checking out Sukoshi Mart, H mart, Sephora and nature collection they also carry some korean lines. I feel like Amazon sells too many fake goods to be trust worthy.

Hi, some brands like vely vely and abib sell through Amazon and they're legit. You should verify that the brand sells through Amazon to ensure it's not a fake product.

some brands do sell on there so you can check to make sure you’re getting it from the brand itself.
if not, I think it’s best to go elsewhere
