Please don't buy The Ordinary products on Takealot

Obviously, Takealot would not add my review to their product page, so Hello Peter it is! But please be careful when buying skin products and makeup on Takalot as most of these products are not regulated and are ****. I purchased a skincare product from the brand, The Ordinary, their AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. The smell was off, and the labeling on the bottle was off. After researching and educating myself on 'how to tell if your Ordinary product is **** or not' it just solidified that the one I received was ****!!

I asked a family member to buy the same product for me in the UK and to bring it over on their visit. Wow, was it a fun experiment comparing the two products? I wish I could upload a picture for others to be able to witness the vast differences in texture, color, smell etc. So, please be mindful as these products are not cheap either.
