I recently purchased 2 Tirtir milk skin toners on Amazon a week apart from each other. I was very meticulous when purchasing as this sub had multiple warnings about Amazon products being counterfeit. I made sure I bought them from the Amazon storefront and confirmed that the seller was TIRTIR. INC.
The only difference was I purchased the bottle on the left using the subscribe and save option and the right, I purchased outright by itself. When I looked on the back of the box, the formatting is different, the ingredients are different, and I believe the distribution is different? Everything else looks identical.
I went to a local AB store in NYC to confirm how the back of the box should look, and the real one looks like the box on the left. Is the bottle on the right fake or is there logical explanation about the difference in the back of the box? Now I’m concerned about all the other AB products I bought through their respective Amazon storefront.
TLDR: bought 2 Tirtir milk skin toner on Tirtir amazon storefront. Description on the box is clearly different. Are either of them real?

Could be that the labelling on the left follows EU labelling standards, since it lists a EU distributor as well? Right looks more consistent with English labelling for products sold within Korea which have dual language labels.
I don’t know enough to be determining the authenticity of these specific products but with Amazon you will always run the risk of counterfeits. It’s less about the sellers (there are official brand stores on the site as you noted) but more about the warehousing. IIRC, the same product items from different sources are pooled together in the warehouse – it’s called “co-mingling.” So if there are both authentic and fake products on Amazon, you could end up with fakes even if you buy from the official brand store because the items are all mixed up at the warehouse.
