I used to buy Wen on eBay but you just never know what you're going to get so I'm sticking to ordering from QVC and Chaz's own site now.

So what is fake Wen? Is it the Guthy Renker version or is there something else we need to be aware of?

Hi, I'm just curious are you Ravens Parents? If so we shared some nice emails.

How do you know, if it was 5 years old? Does it show the date somewhere on the bottle or a number code, leading to the date of issue? Or how can you tell Wen's age?

If you look on the bottom of the bottles, it will have a series of numbers. One set is the item number and the other is the date of production date. For example...my 2oz Remoist has 82136 (identifies the product) and 140707 is the production date. 14 represents year 07 is month and 07 is day. Hence July 7, 2014 is when it was made.
FleaMktQn...I am not related to Raven. But I could share some lovely emails with you😇
Thanks w84WEN, you're sweet she is someone I purchased from on ebay & also caution's about date stamps. So it looks like the date is printed sorta backwards, instead of mo/day/yr it's yr/mo/day. So good to know ![]()
So glad sonechko asked cuz I wanted to know too.

What is fake Wen? It's a product sold as Wen that isn't actually made by Wen. It could be a mix of anything. Chaz shared in the past they sent some suspect samples to be analyzed and they were not Wen.

Thanks Jaxs Mom, So I guess there is no way to tell by the packaging.

When I sold my WEN in the past, I posted a picture of the code on the bottom of the bottles for just that reason and made sure to send the right bottle to the right person. (What a PITA that is!)
People who know WEN know to ask for the code.

The fakers are pretty good at trying to make the packaging look real. The bottles themselves are very easy to get and you can print up copies of the real product labels.
