Does exposure to the summer heat during shipping affect the efficacy of this cream?

It was 110 Degree's today in Las Vegas. my jar of cream was ridiculously hot when I took it from the mail box. I have the same concerns!!

I know this question was asked years ago, but maybe it'll help someone: I get sublingual progesterone lozenges from a compounding pharmacy (until I get some of this cream that's 5-6 bucks cheaper) and I asked them once about what's the max temperature they can be stored at and they said 80º F. I don't know if cream is different because it's wet and therefore cooler, but I would doubt that your cream even in a hot mailbox would heat up past 80º... But I live in the Northwest, so maybe I'm way off...

I tried these when the weather in my area was not hot and for me they worked ok, I did not reorder them, but if you are concerned about the product being harmed I would not order them because I got another product from the same company it was hot outside and I noticed that the product did not work as well.

You should be okay as long as you don't apply the product during the heat of the day.

Yes, my is 4G29 Exp07/16. After reading the conflicting answers here, I decided to shake it really hard and now I see some white cream! I used in my trip and was wondering why it is full of liquid and I got sunburned, and now know why. I am thinking it is bad batch, so will inquire, so you should do the same. My is from Mom LA Store, and reading recent reviews it appears other people had same problem and it appears they are out the business (at least on the Amazon.com)

I wouldn't recommend ordering things like this during the hot summer months. Gummies would definitely be subject to melting now so I would buy locally and not having shipping.

I've been using this cream for over a year. I didn't put it in the fridge last summer and it seemed to be fine.

I'm not sure, but it is the best cream I have ever used. I live in Colorado where the air is dry all the time and it works great. I'm not a chemist, but I personally would not worry about a sell by date with this cream unless it looked discolored when I opened it, or it was waaaay out of date.

Goodness, that's a good question. I think we need someone from Neutrogena to respond to that good question. I looked on my bottle and it doesn't say anything about warm or cold conditions and how it may effect the product. Here is the phone number for Neutrogena that is listed on the bottle 1-800-582-4048, that should help~ =)

We understand your concern. While extended exposure to high temperatures could have an effect on supplements, the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on the quality of the products. The products are kept in a temperature-controlled environment at our facility right up until the time they're shipped to customers. In addition, the bottles are hermetically sealed to provide an oxygen barrier that helps prevent oxidation or spoilage. We test our products throughout the shelf life to ensure they meet the label claim. Since the samples are not refrigerated during shipment, our testing tells us that our supplements withstand heat during shipment without damage to potency. Swanson Health Products

This item is not cold shipped. As the item always is kept in climate controlled facilities with us and the shipping carriers. In the amount of time it takes to deliver, it will not affect the product.

I know there are products that maintain the temperature at a safe level, such as small filled pouches with dry ice. I think this is how most shippers will use when sending their products.

I don't think it overly traps heat, I don't think it has a cool gel. In the summer will be the true test

I live in South Louisiana where there is tremendous heat and humidity and I don't think it's too heavy. Also, if I purchase it from my doctor's office where I get microderm abrasions it costs 4 times that much. Good product, Lana Bel

we have never had a problem with reviva vitamin k cream. it's possible the product was affected by the heat. i would send it back and ask for a replacement.should it come in again in the same condition, jusy send that back and try something else. my wife has been sold on this product for a number of years. al 8/27/14

I don't have a good feel for the weather--if the shipping isn't thru warm areas you'd probably be ok, otherwise I wouldn't risk it even with the brine

I have been using it on my face for several weeks. I do not have sensitive skin and have had no negative reaction. My very dry skin looks and feels much better. I suspect that it may be too heavy for summer skin, but for now, I am very pleased with the results.In addition, always - sunscreen,sunscreen,sunscreen!

I can tell you that my order arrived during a very warm summer period and it was fine. In fact, I just used it to make a body butter and it worked great. I live in Kentucky and we get warm summers.I hope this helps..
