How many of you bought expired cosmetics or skin care from online?
To prevent this unwanted situation, I recently discovered Check Cosmetic where you can check expiry date just by typing in the product’s batch code.
Their database is quite up-to-date and currently the following brands that are supported is as below:-

Let’s try with Clinique Blended Face Powder and Brush #02 Transparency 2 (VF) which I bought in August 2011. The batch code stated is BA0. Clinique users might know how to read the code. But what if you can’t remember which is which?
First step. Go to http://checkcosmetic.net/.
Second step. Select the brand which in this case is Clinique and key in the batch code in the cosmetic calculator located on the top left side of the page. Click Calculate!
Finally. The result is shown at the same panel. There you go 🙂
By far Clinique batch code is the easiest to read off. I still can’t read Clarins batch code yet. I will try to remember the sequence as most of my skin care is Clarins afterall 🙂

Thank you for this great information! Sadly, it seems that Coty products are no longer included.
Oh is it? Sorry not aware because we don’t have Coty here 🙂
Thank you for this Fiona 😀
No problem :). Use it if you only see codes on your products
Thanks for this
You’re welcome 🙂
Where is the code on Decleor products?
For Decleor use this expiry date checker instead http://cosmeticswizard.net/
Or read this for more info on Decleor expiry issue http://www.decleor.co.uk/skincare-tips/questions-and-solutions/expiry-dates

Hi do u know which site i can check expiry date for Shiseido as Check cosmetic doesnt include it
Best regards
Jennifer Nguyen
Hi Jennifer, as far as I remember Check Cosmetic do have Shiseido. I’ve check it before but recently, according to Check Cosmetics news…there is an unconfirmed notice saying Shiseido does not include production date information into the batch codes anymore therefore it was removed. Here’s the article http://checkcosmetic.net/2014/02/shiseido-batch-codes-notice/
Any other than Check Cosmetics I can’t find any online checker for Shiseido anymore 🙁
Shiseido is not actually on the list there…. 🙁
Yes. It was removed with a reason. Do read up their explanation on the removal.
This is really nyc. Yu saved me from a whole lotta stress. Thanks
You’re welcome!
How about Dove, 0322J, hope u can help me with this since i can’t find the result..
I tried typing Number 0 or letter O but it’s not working…Thanks!
You have to contact Check Cosmetic site owner for that Faye 🙂 . I’m just conveying the message to readers that there is such website but I’m not the site owner so I can’t do anything if the site doesn’t work properly.
Hi.
I’m trying to find expiration calculator for Tarte, Per-fekt, Kat Von D, Clarisonic, Valerie (Beverly Hills).
Help, please.
Hi Adila,
Unfortunately no one update their calculator with newest brands like Tarte, Kat Von D and so on 🙁
Artdeco is not on the list there
Yes it’s not. Perhaps you could drop the web admin an email to request for it? 😀
Dear Fiona,
Thanks so much for your beauty info.
Can you teach me how to check the date code for Mandom Beauty, e.g. their Barrier Repair is very popular in Asia.
Thanks Fiona!
Hi Jay, apologize. I have no knowledge on the brand. Usually such product will have a date stated on the packaging or the bottle itself.
Cosmetic products which shelf life is less than 30 months must be marked with “Best before” date according to common regulations in the most of the countries. Such products can no longer meet safety requirements as soon as expiry date has been passed. It’s not mandatory to have such labeling for the cosmetic products which shelf life exceeds 30 months. Most of such products should not be harmful even after the expiration; but they can change smell, color, texture or simply become useless. Purchasing such product could mean wasted money.
Yes that’s true.
I we actually looking for this . Thank you! I don’t know how many products that have already been expired I am using. Yikes! Need to check it out
Product nowadays has either mfg or expiry date stated. Shouldn’t be worry too much 🙂
Dear Fiona

Best regards
Ada
Hi Ada, why don’t you try the calculator? That’s the whole purpose of the calculator 🙂 . And if you’re having issue, please contact the site’s admin about it. I am just spreading the words, not the developer ya
