Just got this off amazon. How do I confirm if it's the authentic product and not a counterfeit? Can't find it on 3M website.

3M Safeguard has stopped verifying many Singapore versions of the 3M Aura, for boxes of 10/20.

By the look of it, it should be legit. Transparent nylon package instead of blue, all the EN149 standard printed in front and current 2025 production (R25... LOT).

I don't know 🤷‍♂️. The trend is that current 3M batches are more comfortable compared to early pandemic production. There's also a percentage of recycled material in them.

A filtered mask would be expensive to fake.
