Sun cream - does it have a use by date?

[Bluebirdonmyshoulder]

It's a good quality Clarins face cream, there's no 'best before' on it but as I bought it a few years ago I was wondering.

"Sun cream has a shelf-life of 2-3 years, as long as it's not stored at high temperatures or in direct sunlight. So, make sure you keep sun cream in a cool or shaded place at all times.

Before using sun cream, check the bottle for an expiry date. You should never use sun cream after the use-by date because you won't be protected from the sun's harmful rays. "

I don't know about Clarins, but some brands will put an expiry date on the product, others don't.

Thanks. Think I bought it 3 years ago.

like all other lotions & potions it has a the lil logo on the information label, once the product is opened then that is how long it will last, It looks like a circular container with a lid half off & numbers in the container, the numbers are how many months it will last once opened

Wow, I never knew that. Thank you!
