Is the product fresh or out dated?

The expiration date is smudged; it could be October of 2013 or October of 2018 - I cannot read it. If it expires in 2013 I will probably have plenty left and will just continue to use it until it is finished.

I haven't used it in a while but when I did, I saw noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture. It helped fade my brown spots somewhat. The only drawback is cost. I find it quite expensive for the amount you get. But I'd say it's worth a try.

Good question to ask the seller. I've bought numerous times. Never received expired product, but once it was within 3 months of expiration date.

My product is fresh (and always has been). The expiration date is 12-2014. I will use all of it in about 5 months. It is a great product.

It is not necessarily expired. There may be a "freshness" date but unless temporatures are very high or low, it will work fine.

Goldenles is one of the vendors sell the product on amazon, they said there is no date on the bottle and they think it's made between 2009 and 2010. I guess I'll just try it and hopefully it's still fresh.

Not sure if it's the expiration date but this product darkens in color when it gets old. Fresh product is butter color

This gets asked frequently and I'm happy to say there is a positive answer! Mine were dated at least a year out and I've seen others post the same response. Hope that helps!

Good question... I just ordered this item and am really hoping I receive a nice fresh tube. This is a retinol cream, meaning the ingredients are easily expired. If this cream is a year old the ingredients have broken down and will no longer be as potent. Or worse... could be more potent to a harmful degree!

When I ordered the one that came wasn't expired. I think it's just an old picture.

Not sure what he means. How long has the product been in existence? Many years as I've been using it for about 20 years. How old, or fresh, is the individual item? I would ask the seller.

You need to check with the people you order from for date of expiration. I never have mine long enough to worry about that, it's always fresh.

As far as I know it was 'fresh'. I've been using it since I received it. This is the first time I've purchased the "light" formula - I have thin fine hair, and I was happy with the purchase.

mine had 2 years left when I got them. the date is on the label. if you get them on amazon the turnover is rapid so they have always been fresh

They seem to be fresh - they smell good enough for me to eat :-) I'm sure they were baked several months ago though so don't think they are just freshly baked.

Hello I bought this product and sell interfaces and found that it produced in 2012 and is valid for two years and there is no problem in the product after the product arrived to me you are no doubt because it is expired for after I talk with the seller shows that production in 2012 and is valid for two years

I believe you should be able to detect new from used. Scrutinize the item carefully and trust your gut feeling. I don't believe they will pass off used as new. Reputation matters and I doubt if they will risk that.
