How long is the shelf life of purple iron eye cream

If the lid is unopened, the shelf life of L'Oreal Purple Iron Eye Cream is three years. However, once opened and used, the shelf life will be shortened. The shelf life of essence products is basically within half a year to a year. The purple iron itself is not clearly marked, so it is stipulated according to the general one-year rule.

How to check the production date of L'Oreal purple iron

There are many types of production date labels on L'Oréal's skin care products. Different manufacturers in different countries have different regulations for marking the production date.

Europe and the United States: Only the batch number is used to indicate the production date;

China: The batch number is indicated, followed by a clear indication of the expiration date, usually in the order of "year-month-day" or "day-month-year";

Indonesia: The batch number is indicated, followed by a clear indication of the production date, usually in the order of "day, month, year".

Regardless of the way the production date is expressed, it is a genuine L'Oreal product. However, the L'Oreal Purple Iron Eye Cream we buy through domestic consumption channels usually only has two types: "French original" and "domestic packaging". If it is a purple iron with domestic packaging, then the production date can be directly deduced based on the expiration date. If it is the original French Purple Iron Eye Cream, then you must translate the batch number to obtain the production date.

The batch number rule currently used by L'Oreal is a 6-digit code: production factory (2 digits) + production year (1 digit) + production month (1 digit) + production batch (2 digits).

Key production date information. It comes from the middle two digits. The year is expressed in English, in the order of A, B, C, D, etc., corresponding to each year starting from 2004. The single-digit months from January to September are corresponded by the numbers 1 to 9; the double-digit months from October, November, and December are corresponded by the first letters of the English translation, O, N, and D respectively.

For example, the batch number of the purple iron eye cream in the picture is "74S702", where S stands for 2019 and 7 stands for July, so the production date of this purple iron is "July 1, 2019".
