I have some estee lauder advanced night repair, but it does not have three #’s on it. On the bottom of the bottle imprinted in the bottle (not ink) is a one or 2 digit #. I have a few of these bottles. Does anyone know?

i have a product from the body shop and the batch code is D141LB. your software says that is was manufactured 2010 years ago, and i guess that`s certainly wrong. can you help me out ?

Great article, thanks for publishing it. But I think poster #29 is correct that L’Oreal and its brands have changed their batch codes.

Maybe they think it’s because it’s samples but they shouldn’t be given them out if they’ve expired.

This website is great. Now I know how to read expiry date codes. Boots the Chemist have over the past few years given me Clarins samples to try which are out of date. Surely this is illegal?
