How can you tell the expiration date? I am first time purchaser and the product looks chunky out of the tube.

The package says in japanese that it expires in 3 years from the manufacture date printed on to crimped end of the package. Also, the texture is supposed to be like a thin lotion with encapsulated chunks of moisturizer distributed in it.

My packaging was in Japanese so I'm at a loss as to how you tell the expiration date. My product was white and creamy when I opened it. I just checked the tube to see if anything had changed since I last used it in Sep 2013 during my trip to the Caribbean and it is still good. I hope this helps.

The consistency is watery with little balls of moisturizer. I thought it was strange too at first. The date can be determined by looking at the crimped end of the tube. Mine says T0001143 (14 is the year and the 3 is the month) -so, a Japanese friend says.

My expiration date is on the back label, lower right. I don't know any way to find it before you buy it.

I don't think it is the expiration date. I am not sure that the stuff in this decays and the dates have the wrong format in anybodies date notation.

If you've ever had expired product you will know. My last purchase--not on Amazon, the product was discolored and smelled. I called the company and it was only 30 days past expiration.

I looked on the carton and cannot find an expiration date. I don't know if what is in the stuff. My lips swelled up from it so I am not using again.

I don't see anything on the tube and I have already discarded the box, so I don't know if there was anything printed on it regarding the expiration date. Btw, I have seen the same "EX" typing on my tube as the others, but I am not sure what that means.

I have never bothered to look for the expiration date. I use up the product within 30 to 60 days so expiration has never been an issue.

my container looks different too. Must be the 'new' look. My expiration date is on the bottom of the jar. 11-2016

I returned my tube. Don't know about the batch number, but the date stamped was over a year past. I called Klein-Becker to find out if the date was mfg. date or exp. date. The agent seemed unsure about the date but told me that they no longer make the original formula (have not for some time) and that the shelf life for the stuff is something like one year. So...I sent it back. I purchased a tube of new formula sensitive,from another website, at a very good price. I wish this one was greasier! ha!

I can't remember; I have consumed the product. I don't remember it being an issue; I am big on checking expiration dates.

Susanne, I question this as well. I emailed the Dr. Numb company via their website because I just received 2 tubes (yesterday 5/31/14) of Dr. Numb from this seller (Planet Stuff) and the expiration date on both boxes is 10/14. Are they selling "old" products and is that why it is inexpensive? Not good!

I bought a tube last year and the expiration date says 04/15. So maybe 2 years is the length of the expiration on this brand.

The Tube I received has an expiration date of 2016... If you purchased yours recently, you should see about returning it or exchanging for a fresher one.

It will expire in about two years. I bought my two-pack in October 2014 and mine have an expiration of 08/2016. Expiration date appears embossed on the back of the tube at very top (opposite the opening, where cream comes out).

I'm sorry I'm already on my second tube and threw out the boxes. I'm sure Amazon wouldn't sell it if it's expiring and if they do then you email them telling them is faulty and they'll pay to ship it back. I hope this helps! Debby

The most recent tubes have been for 18 months, from receiving them. The expiration date is hard to find. Its on the edge opposite the cap, in the same white color as the tube.

The expiration date is on the bottom edge of the tube where it is crimped. The expiration date on one side and perhaps it's the lot numbers on the other side. Hard to read. I had to use a flashlight in order to read the numbers.
