The Eye Concentrate: real vs fake
The Eye Concentrate is La Mer’s eye-area cream in a small frosted jar with an included metal applicator, and its small format makes it a convenient target for replicas. From photos, check the jar frosting and tint, lid and applicator quality, print sharpness and a matching batch code. Shoot the jar, lid, applicator, box and code and upload them to LegitCheck AI for a risk score.
What to check on the The Eye Concentrate
Model-specific zones – on top of the brand-level signs.
Jar: frosting and tint
An authentic jar is thick frosted glass with even frosting and the correct restrained tint. Patchy frosting, a glossy plasticky-looking sheen, or an obviously wrong tone is a serious red flag.
Lid and its fit
The lid should be neat and thread on snugly with no visible gap or burrs. Weight is an in-hand check and isn't judged from a photo. A cheap-looking plastic lid or a visibly uneven fit is reason to doubt.
Metal applicator
A branded metal applicator for the under-eye area is included: it should be smooth, with no molding flash, scratches or cheap-cast marks. A missing applicator or a rough, light, "tinny" one is a warning sign.
"La Mer" / "The Eye Concentrate" print
On the jar and box the fonts should be crisp and even, with no blur or shifted printing. On this small format the fine text especially exposes replicas – muddy letters and off kerning are common.
Batch code: present and matching
The batch code must be present and match between box and jar; check the manufacture date with a batch-code calculator. A mismatch or missing code is a red flag – don’t assume the code format from memory.

FAQ
There’s no metal applicator included – is it fake?
A missing branded applicator is a warning sign, but not a final verdict on its own. Weigh it together with the jar frosting, lid quality, print and whether the box and product batch codes match.
Can a photo tell me how the cream sits under the eyes?
No – the cream’s thickness and behavior are an in-hand check, not a photo one. From images, judge the packaging: jar, lid, applicator, print and code.
Should I trust a heavily discounted The Eye Concentrate?
A suspiciously low price is itself a reason to be cautious. Counterfeit skincare can be unsafe and La Mer is heavily faked, so buy only from authorized retailers.
