I don’t know if you all have the same problem as me, that is, you have a lot of bottles and jars of cosmetics and perfumes on your hands, and after storing them for a long time, you sometimes forget the shelf life of these things. If the product is purchased from the Taiwan head office or general agent, there may be additional Chinese labels on the product, and some may indicate the manufacturing date and shelf life.
But if your cosmetics and perfumes are purchased from a foreign platform, there is a high chance that the product packaging will not have a manufacturing date and shelf life. Even if there is a mark on the purchase website, can you be sure that the product you get is produced with that batch number? This problem occurs even with products purchased in Taiwan. As long as unscrupulous manufacturers tamper with Chinese labels, you, the ignorant, can only believe them.

CheckFresh Quickly check the manufacturing date of cosmetics & perfumes
first advance CheckFresh The website page, here is a desktop computer as an example:
I don’t know how to check the batch code of your skin care products. The website also has demonstration tutorials for various brands:
The method of use is also very simple, just type in the brand you want to search on the homepage:
Here I take the CeraVe lotion on my hand as an example:
After searching for CeraVe in the search bar, click on the brand name:
Next, you need to enter the batch number of the product. If you don’t know how to find the batch number, after searching for the brand, there will be many examples below to teach you how to find the batch number. Just follow them. For my jar of CeraVe lotion, the batch number is at the bottom (blue area) on the back of the package. Just enter the batch number and click to check:
After entering the batch number to query, the webpage will list the manufacturing date and how long it has been used for your product. For example, the can I bought was probably purchased in 2022. After the query, it was manufactured in May 2021, which is within the acceptable range. However, I checked that its shelf life is only three years, so it has expired.
Next, let’s test other products. This jar is ORIGINS Ganoderma lucidum water. It was purchased from a well-known Korean e-commerce store. The price at that time was unexpectedly cheap.
First, select the ORIGINS brand on the website. The following will also teach you how to check the ORIGINS batch number:
However, the batch number on the bottle I have is weird. There is a printed batch number on the left and a batch number on the bottom of the bottle. I don’t know which one to check, so I plan to check both batch numbers:
I searched using the batch number F15 on the inside of the bottle and got the result that it was produced in January 2015. I was a little shocked when I saw this.
If you check using the printed batch number L22, the production date is February 2022. If I remember correctly, I should have bought it in 2023. But after I checked online, almost all the pictures posted by netizens who shared batch numbers were simply printed batch numbers, with no manufacturing location or internal batch number.
But because I have already thrown away the box, I can’t do any more verification. I plan to throw it away after checking it now. I feel uneasy about using it:
Summer is here, and sunscreen is also one of the must-have gadgets for everyone. I happened to buy a can of KOSE sunscreen spray recently, so I came to check its manufacturing date:
The same is done by entering the brand and batch number in CheckFresh:
You can get the production date and use time. This can was purchased in a physical store in May 2024, and it is still very new:
However, some brands cannot be found on the website, such as the AHC brand.
CheckFresh usage experience
I suggest you add this website to your favorites. When purchasing products in physical stores, you can quickly check the manufacturing date of the product to see if it matches the label on the product packaging. This way you can avoid buying skin care products that are about to expire. If you buy unofficial skin care products online, you can also use this method to check, but I can only say that the effect of the query is limited, because you never know whether the manufacturer has tampered with it. After all, cosmetics are things that are used on the skin, so it is safer to buy them from a guaranteed source.
