Trinny retinol cream smells rancid

Hello Ladies, Has anyone else had this issue with Trinny London, creams smelling off? I have bought quite a few products and they have been great until one of the retinol creams as soon as i pumped a bit out it reminded me if an old lipstick with that rancid oil smell, i pumped a bit more thinking it was just in the tube and may have dried but the while thing smells like that… It isnt pleasant on the skin either i have sensitive skin and i feel its making it red, mind you i have used this product before in a trial and didnt smell or make my skin this way the first time… I contacted “customer service” they did not help a bit only deny what i was saying, then asked me for a code on the package and the expiry date was 2021??? I told them again and they said it wasn't the expiry date…. I feel disappointed as i have loved the products and love Trinny until now and the horrid so called service is appalling, i do believe if Trinny knew she would do something about it. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue? the date is in the inside crease of the pump or refill box which I'm sure most throw away but this one wasn't even sealed which again tells me its old and the glue has dried and popped open… Interested to know.
Thanks Ladies

Did you send customer service that photo? It’s clearly an expiry date.

Where did you buy it from OP you may be able to return it to the shop unless you bought direct?

Retinol does smell absolutely minging when old, I bought a product from Vinted which was out of date and it smelt rancid.

Thank you, I was so disappointed, this was the feed back. I’ll post the reply from customer service… hardly service…

Yes I sent all the angles and every code I could find hoping they would replace it for me, but they don’t care clearly, I bought it directly online… what would you do? How can I dispute it?

Write a review on Trust Pilot, also comment Instagram. Maybe then the customer service will do their job.

I would post on their IG, tagging Trinny in too. I agree that she seems like she would be very unhappy with your experience of her customer service team. Social media is a good way to get their attention.

I don’t think the product has been out long enough for 2021 to be an expiry date. But other than that agree poor customer service
