How to check the production date of La Mer cream and the production batch number of La Mer

As a high-end luxury skin care brand, La Mer has been recognized by a large number of users and is loved by many women. So, how do you check the production date of La Mer cream?

How to check the production date of La Mer cream

Look at the 3-digit batch number on the bottom of the bottle. The first letter has no real meaning. The second digit represents the month, 1 to 9 correspond to January to September, October is A or O, November is B or N, December is C or D, and the third digit represents the year, such as 0 is 2010, 1 is 2011, and so on. For example, C90 is produced in September 2010.

How long is the shelf life of La Mer cream

The shelf life of La Mer cream is three years when it is unopened. But the theoretical shelf life after opening is one year. In real life, it is recommended to use up the product within 3-4 months after opening. Because the opened cream is affected by bacteria and microorganisms in the air, the oxidation rate of the cream will be accelerated, causing the effective ingredients of the cream to lose their effectiveness.

Query of La Mer production batch number

Cosmetic Calculator is a cosmetics production batch number query website in the United States. It collects more than 380 brands, mainly from the United States, but also includes a small number of European, Japanese and Korean brands, for example. Very niche American brands can be found on this website, but there are fewer brands from countries other than the United States. For example, common Japanese brands such as Shiseido, haba, freeplus, curel, etc. are not included. Although it is an English interface, it is very simple and clear. When searching, you only need to select the brand in the cOSMetic caculator section and enter the production batch number on the bottle. However, since it is a foreign website, it loads slowly and requires scientific Internet access occasionally. You can use the "quick brand search" quick brand query function, enter the brand name in this text box, and select the required brand in the drop-down box that appears. If the required brand does not appear, it means that the brand has not been included. In addition, the Aoola Beauty app is used to check the production date of cosmetics and skin care products. Basically, any brand you want to check can be found. After opening the app, an option to check the batch number will be displayed at the bottom. Just enter the production number.

What should I do if La Mer cream expires?

It is best not to continue applying La Mer cream on your face after it expires, but if you think it is a waste to throw it away directly, you can use it on your body if it has just expired. Of course, if it has been expired for a long time, you must not continue to use it, even on your body.
