> I don't buy anything I'll put in/on/around my body on Amazon (e.g. Vitamin supplements, Lotion/face sunscreen, Protein powder)
Even if the brand is legit, I'm still not 100% confident that Amazon's co-mingling stock and switcheroos that can happen in the long supply chain will result in a "real" thing arriving at my door
I've lived by this rule too ever since I got a bottle of "One A Day" multivitamins that invariably made me vomit 10 minutes after taking one. (Embarrassingly, I didn't give up on them until maybe the fifth time it happened.)
I don't buy much from amazon these days, but yeah, definitely bought some higher end shaving cream that I later realized was probably not authentic. It's getting easier to buy direct from brands, and I feel safer buying this kinda stuff from target or whatever locally.
