How to check the shelf life of Rohto CC and the production batch number

How to check the shelf life of Rohto CC? Rohto CC Essence is very popular in Japan and has the effects of whitening, lightening spots, and removing acne scars. Next, let’s take a closer look at it.

How to check the shelf life of Rohto CC

Rohto CC is a Japanese skin care brand and there is no expiration date on the packaging. In Japan, almost all cosmetics do not have clear production dates and expiration dates. Because the products on the shelves are all freshest, the shelf life is generally three years if unopened. It is recommended to use them up within one year after opening.

Why don't Japanese cosmetics have production dates?

According to Article 61 of the Japanese Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, only products that "will deteriorate within 3 years under normal storage conditions" must be marked with a shelf life. If there is no indication, it means that the product has a shelf life of at least 3 years if unopened. Not marking the production date is actually an unspoken rule in the Japanese cosmetics industry. Not marking the production date means "as long as the product is unopened, it can still be used even after the 3-year period."

How to read the production batch number of Rohto

In Japan, batch numbers are usually hidden in obvious places. First, you can find the mark with numbers and letters printed on it, and the letters from A to L represent January to December respectively. There will be numbers in front of these letters. For example, if it is 11, it means starting from the 11th letter, that is, the 11th letter represents 2000, and so on. Let me give you an example here. For example, if you see 11VLCM printed on cosmetics, it means 2014.12.11. The shelf life of general cosmetics is 3 years, so as long as you use them up before December 2017, you will be fine.

How to use Rohto CC Essence

For normal skin types, you can use toner after cleansing, then use Rohto CC essence, and then use lotion. People with sensitive skin may experience a slight tingling sensation when using it. It is recommended to use it after lotion to reduce the tingling sensation on the skin. In addition, do not expose to light after using Rohto CC Essence. Because Rohto CC Essence contains vitamin C, which will decompose when exposed to light, it is recommended to use it before going to bed at night.
