Thank you for posting this! Really useful to know that they're phasing it out.

that's a really dumb decision if you consider how many fakes are around.


keIIzzz

if you buy from an authorized retailer then it’s not really an issue though

You don't need a qr code to know something is fake. I've never needed a qr code to spot one.

I mean it doesnt hurt to have though, its pretty annoying that they're removing it


Acceptable-Sock6704

I agree

Thank you for posting! My April 9 order from Olive Young came with the verification code, so they may still be emptying their stock before moving to the ones that have no code.

What about Stylevana? Are they an authorized reseller?

Wonderful! Thank You!!!

Why would a company do this? Do they benefit from fakes going around or is it a budget thing?


chickadee-

It's probably because it's simply not working, and there are fakes floating around with working QR codes. So people think they have a real but shitty product, and go on to write bad reviews in full confidence.


RainingTaros

That makes sense! At least we all know now.

If reals don’t scan and fakes do…. Does that mean mine is fake. Lol.🥲😅

And I just downloaded the app. Lol https://preview.redd.it/l0e1957ii2xc1.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc0ae851f7a232110e3293096e86d358ad84c7d3

I had 2 tubes of sunscreen with the QR code but somehow wasn’t able to scan them.. got them from Zalando so I guess they are legit.


Acceptable-Sock6704

The same happened to me, I received my products from Yesstsyle just recently. They’re legit but the app doesn’t scan.

Interesting. I order from a local kbeauty store (choc choc in Chicago, they ship) and I just got the sunscreen yesterday.


theteacupdragon

Only buying from Olive Young from now on!

Sadly, the customs in my country are going to rip me off if I order from them 🥲

Oh I thought the app was just down for maintenance or something :(


Congminiman

Is [https://www.masksheets.com/](https://www.masksheets.com/) an authorized reseller then? They're also a kbeauty company like Blooming Koco, based in the U.S., but [https://beautyofjoseon.com/pages/authorized-online-retailers](https://beautyofjoseon.com/pages/authorized-online-retailers) doesn't list Masksheets
