Many questions are related to how old the product is. When buying from a salon, we know it's a recent batch. Are these older batches

I cannot speak to the age of the lot but can tell you I have bought a bunch of Eminence products including 2 of this product. One is being used now and one still in the box. I looked over the box and there is no "use by date" noted. I love this product and would highly recommend buying on Amazon.com -- it is worth the savings!

I have a bar and I just opened it (when I used up an older bar). Until I looked up how to replace it, I had no idea I was opening a Rarity that Antiques Roadshow would get excited over. (On the back of the box I opened, it says "aged for three months...") I too would like to buy more of the pre-2009 Pears' soap. (Perhaps I should add that I bought this box of Pears' Soap some years ago and sat it in a cabinet where I didn't see it and forgot about it. I did not buy it from Amazon.com; I'm not sure Amazon.com existed when I bought this box of Pears' Soap. I now think that perhaps I shouldn't use it - save it as a historical monument, so to speak.)

I bought a box from my docs office and there was an expired entry form inside. My first reaction was this stuff is old so I called SkinMedica and she asked for number that was listed on the box and she said it was still good that it has a 2 yr shelf life.

I was responding to the product in general, not the specific Amazon purchase. To be honest, the Amazon purchase came broken and I returned it. The product I was using came from a salon for $60. The box has lot# 44K44P (or F - bad near vision).

Usually they have 2-3 years shelf life we don't know how long it was at the salon I hope we answered your question

Be sure to check exp. date. I've not got a bad batch from Amazon. They are less accurate after date I'm sure Amazon checks exp. dates regularly. Hope this helps.

Because it's expensive I always look for deals and then purchase more than one. I have never noticed it going bad. Still silky, still smells wonderful even after a long time. I believe the longest I've had it on hand was a year or so. Hope that helps

I've been ordering this product for about two years. There was only one time that the contents were different, and that was not ordered from Amazon.I gave the bottles away, because it was a non returnable order. After that, I always make it a point to order from Amazon. They are the most reliable, and yes, the contents are original. Remember, there are several different formulas for this treatment. Be sure you order the one of choice. I hope this answers your question.S.Beverly Hills, Ca.p.s. At a high-end salon, I paid $60.00 for the treatment, using the same product.

Janet, I would NOT use it until you have contacted the sellers. That does not sound good. They should definitely know what is going on with their product and know that it is only a year old! Good luck.

I am guessing it is because people have used this product in the past from legit sellers such as a drugstore. I can honestly say that I am questioning the one I got. I am returning it since the application brush fell apart - not what I would expect from such a expensive product. Mine does not have a perfume smell like some people have been concerned about which is not consistent with the real brand. I have also been having issues with my left eye twitching since I started using this product. In the past I have had a terrible experience with sellers in Las Vegas who sold me fake make-up and beauty products. So basically always review the seller before purchasing. Hope this helps.

As a licensed esthetician, I would highly recommend that you purchase Image skincare products from a salon or day spa. There is a strong possibility that Image skincare products sold here are not authentic and/or expired.

My product has a lot number and expiration date on it. I have been using this product for over four years now and have never had an issue. You can contact the manufacturer at the phone number listed on the product and express your concerns and I'm sure they will be happy to help you out.

I always look at that but the salon that my friend owns said she has been using the product herself and some of the samples she has used were well out of date with no difference in the outcome of the use.

I haven't looked for a date on the bottle, I assumed that these were of a current date. What I have noticed is that the coating on the tablet has changed. So maybe they are of the newer production line.

If the box or bottle says that, they are definitely out of date. Return anything out of date and notify Amazon. Amazon enforces its standards.If you are referring to a picture in an ad, it's just old copy. Everything I have bought has been new and their prices are the lowest. I hope this helps.

I would have no idea because whatever information I put in my review pertained to my previous purchase and I have not purchased the item since. I do know, however, that folks don't need to get too excited about some of these dates as long as the product is not opened. I wouldn't buy supplements that expired years ago (because they lose their potency). To find out the current expiration date on this item being sold, please contact the seller or Amazon and you will get a reply.
