Arr… I just remember the manufacturing date normally marked on an importer sticker on the product packaging.

BT: I haven’t been using those brands you mentioned these few years so not too sure…but I know Fancl indicates theirs cos their products are supposed to be very fresh…

Sesame, big brands like Estee Lauder, Clinique, Chanel, DHC,Fancl, Olay, SK-ll... etc do noted the manufacturing date, else, I will try to finish the product within a year from the purchase date because any products near to expiry date (~1.5 yr less), the company normally will do stock clearance. If I'm not mistaken, google has a program to decode the manufacturing code of certain brands. Forgot the link by the way. BT: Hey, if you come across the program to decode the date again, please let me know. I have readers who come here sometimes asking me to help me decode but it's not easy to figure out for some of them.

i've been doing the same with my recent skincare purchases, i either write the date of expiry or the date of manufacture, depending on which info is available on the box packaging Joyce: That's cool! Takes out the guesswork when you need to know...
