Every cosmetic company is different. For example, the batch number of L 'Oré al's products has five characters, the first one can be ignored, the second letter indicates the production year, Y indicates 23, A indicates 24, and B indicates 25. The 3rd, 4th and 5th digits indicate the identification method of the production date of imported cosmetics produced in that year. The batch number of Lancome is equal to the production date. Let's talk about it in detail: for example, CX159 C is the place of origin, X is in 22, and so on here, V is in , W is in 1, 159 is the day CX159, that is, the 159th day of 2, and the shelf life of Lancome's products is three years, that is, this batch number expires on the 159th day of 5. BIOTHERM consists of two English words and three numbers. The first word is the place of origin, and the second word is the year of manufacture. S is 1997, T is 1998, U is 1999, V is 2, and the last three digits indicate the day of that year. Therefore, CV15 was manufactured on the 15th day of 2, and the shelf life is usually three years. Helena rubinstein and BIOTHERM have the same batch number representation. VICHY and BIOTHERM have the same batch number representation. Most ESTEE LAUDER are three-code batch numbers: XYZ, X origin, Y month, Z indicates the year, for example, K61 was manufactured in June, 21. As for the month, it means: 123456789BC * * 12 months to 5 yards', which in turn represents the monthly batch of factory goods. CLINIQUE has the same batch number representation as ESTEE LAUDER. For example, L92 means the first number 9 represents the production in 1999, and the English letter L is the twelfth word in the letter sequence, which represents the manufacturing in December. Similarly, if the batch number is C821, it was manufactured in March 1998, and the storage period is until February 21. H2O, such as 9254H53, the first 9 refers to 1999, and 254 refers to CLARINS produced on the 254th day of 1999. Take batch number 63129 as an example, the first number is the year number 6-representing 1996, and the second two digits are March, and the next number is the container number entered. The factory date of Borghese, such as LEN3C, L stands for 2, 3 is March, and so on, such as "J" for 1998, "K" for 1999, "L" for 2 and "M" for 21. There is another way to express Bejas, and the factory date of Bejas is divided into two new and old versions, and the new version contains four parts, which represent the year, batch, month and day in turn. J is 1998, K is 1999, and April 1 is 41. The old version contains four parts, which represent the year, month and day in turn. 8 is 1998, 9 is 1999, and April 1 is 41. The date of manufacture of Guerlain is usually 5 yards. For example, the first English word D of DL2BO is the year D=1999, and the second English word L is the three yards after the month L=7. The meaningless year codes are as follows: P = 1996, S = 1997, V = 1998, D = 1999, M = The month codes are as follows: H = 1, E = 2, B = 3, X = 4, T = 5, K = 6, L = 7, N = 8, F = 9, R = 1, A = 11, C = 12, such as 4PB in Ya Dun. The first number indicates that it was manufactured in 1994, and the following English characters indicate that. The first number represents the year, the second letter represents the month, and the third and fourth numbers represent the date. The thinking mode of foreigners is different from ours. The production date of imported cosmetics is actually included in its production batch number. There are many brands of cosmetics in this website, and the labeling methods of production date are naturally different. The following is a description of the production batch numbers of each brand to help you buy satisfactory products. 1. The brands of L'OREAL Group: Helena Rubinstein HR helena rubinstein, Lancome Lancome, and Biotherm biotherm. As they belong to the same company, the labeling method of production batch numbers is the same. Its production batch number consists of two English words and three digits, the first English letter represents the place of origin, the second English letter represents the year of manufacture, and the last three digits represent the day of that year. For example, the first English letter C of CY15 of LANCOME stands for the place of origin (Canada), and the second English letter Y stands for the three digits after the year of manufacture, indicating the day of that year, W=21 X=22 Y=23 A=24, so CY15 is manufactured on the 15th day of 23, and the shelf life is usually three years. That is, until May 26. The shelf life of skin care products is usually three years, and the shelf life of cosmetics is five years. 2. Estee Lauder Estee Lauder Group's brands: Estee Lauder and Clinique Clinique. Most of them are three-code batch numbers: XYZ；; For example, the K63 X of Estee Lauder indicates the place of origin; Y represents the month; Z indicates the year and month: 123456789ABC * * 12 months is the batch number of 5 yards manufactured in June 23, and the batch number of Clinique, which sequentially represents the month and year of the factory goods, is generally 3 yards: XYZ, X indicates the place of origin, Y indicates the month and Z indicates the year. The month is expressed as: 1-9,A,B,C***12 months. For example, K61 was produced in June 21, and AC2 means it was produced in December 22. AB3 means production in November 23, and A34 means production in March 24. The quality of skin care products is 3 years, and the makeup is 5 years. 3. The date of manufacture of Guerlain is usually five yards. For example, the first English word Z in ZL2BO stands for the year Z=21, and the second English word L stands for the three meaningless year codes after the month L=7 as follows: U = 21, Z = 21, J = 23, Y = 24, W = 25. The codes are as follows: H = 1, E = 2, B = 3. N=8, F=9, R=1, A=11, C=12 4, H2O+ Shuizhiao batch number format, such as 9254H53, the first character refers to the year, that is, 1999 followed by three characters refers to the day of the year. That is, 254 refers to the production on the 254th day of 1999, so the serial number 234H14 is the production on the 34th day of 22. 5. CLARINS Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins Clarins (Shelf life: at least 3 years) 6. Japanese brand KOSE Kose, the batch number is four yards, such as L92, the first number 9 stands for production in 1999, and the English letter L stands for manufacturing in December, with a three-year shelf life. Similarly, if the batch number is C221, it will be manufactured in March 22, and the shelf life will be 2. By analogy, it should be noted that the expiration date of Xuejijing is marked on the bottom of the bottle. Because it is printed by computer, you need to see Arabic numerals in a well-lit place by reflection, and the expiration date is five years. 7. Bejiasi skin care products have a shelf life of 3 years and make-up of 5 years. There are two ways to express the factory date: 1. Six yards. M stands for 21, N,P,Q P and Q stand for 2, 3 and 4 respectively. For example, QEN3C means production in 24. For example, LEN3C, L stands for 2, "3" is March, and so on. K = 1999L = 2M = 21N = 22P = 23Q = 242. Four yards. The first number indicates the year, and the second number indicates the month, such as 331H, indicating that the production date is March 23. 8, CD shelf life of skin care products for 3 years, make-up for 5 years. The batch number is usually four yards. The first code indicates the year, for example, 2D1 indicates the year of 22. 3D1 means 23. The second code indicates the month, and A, B and C-M indicate January, February and March-December (the English letter "I" is skipped because it is similar to the Arabic numeral "1" ... for fear of confusion), for example, 3L1 indicates the production in November 23. 9. The batch number of H2O indicates the first 4 yards, such as 1254H53, the first 1 refers to 21, and 254 refers to the production on the 254th day of 21. 1. Generally, the batch number of Ya Dun is 3 yards, with the first letter indicating the year and the last letter indicating the month (months are 1,2 ... 9, A, B and C indicate 1,2 ... 9, 1,11 and December respectively), such as 2D9, which indicates September 22. 3DA, which means October 23. The quality of skin care products is 3 years, and the makeup is 5 years. What do you think of the shelf life of Amway Nutrilite and Artistry products supplied in the United States? 1. Nutrilite nutritional products generally have a shelf life of three years, so how to identify and see their production date or expiration date? Nutrilite nutrition products in the United States are marked with (expiration date, not production date). Special attention: the date of Nutrilite products in the United States is-day/month/year. Second, Artistry cosmetics generally have a shelf life of three years. How to identify and see their production date or expiration date? Answer: Most products have been marked with numbers or words that we can understand to show the date, such as EXP for the expiration date and * */* * * for the month/day/year. For some cosmetics, such as eye cream, the views on the production date are as follows: 4xPB-6B production line on the 241st day of 24, because X corresponds to 24 and P corresponds to 16 (the first in the English alphabetical order). How to identify the authenticity of cosmetics ~ Although it's a bit long, it's very useful. Just check official website first and then check the batch number. Lesson 1: Learn the meaning of some common terms used by businesses (the difference between genuine products, parallel products, Hong Kong products and licensed products) Lesson 2: What MM who wants to buy genuine skin care products and cosmetics online should pay attention to? Lesson 3: Open showdown between true and false skin care cosmetics! (It is divided into domestic, Nissan, Korean, Europe and America.) The third lesson mainly focuses on the identification method of domestic Olay and Yaqian. Lesson 4: Japanese skin care cosmetics identification * * (Shiseido, Kanebo, KOSE, SKII identification method) Lesson 5 Korean skin care cosmetics identification competition (VOV, Aili, Lan Zhi identification method) Lesson 6, European and American skin care cosmetics identification competition (. I also posted the Taiwan Province version of the website for the convenience of MM who don't know English.) Lesson 8 Latest Collection of Cosmetic Batch Numbers+Website Update Lesson 1: Learn what the terms commonly used by some businesses mean. Authentic: It may be parallel or licensed. There is no unified statement, but it must be genuine. Parallel imports: Parallel imports are actually real goods, but the channels are irregular, without customs duties and Chinese instructions. For example, the biotherm you bought at the counter in the United States, and then you brought it back and sold it. This kind of you brought back without customs duties is parallel imports, but it is definitely genuine. And the price is cheaper than that of regular channels. Imitation goods: There are many kinds of imitation goods, such as goods A, A, B, C, etc. Clothing, leather bags, cosmetics, etc. are generally divided in this way. It doesn't matter if clothing and leather bags are imitation goods, but they are cheap anyway. We only like styles, but cosmetics? ! It's a fake. Well-made imitation cosmetics will not hurt the skin, and may have some effects, but the effect is less than 1% of the genuine ones. Licensed goods: genuine goods in formal channels, which have passed customs duties, national inspection and Chinese instructions. Hong kong goods: there are two kinds of hong kong goods, one is brought back from the regular shopping malls in hong kong, that is, parallel imports; There is also a so-called Hong Kong product, which is also called Hong Kong product, but you need to see if this kind of cosmetics has been produced in Hong Kong. For example, Lancome is only made in Taiwan Province and France, so the so-called Hong Kong-made Lancome is a real fake. Anyway, I have never heard of any Lancome factory in Hong Kong, but it won't be very bad when used, just not as good as the real one:). How to identify the goods brought back from Hong Kong? Samples and cheaper cosmetics tell you the simplest and most effective way: directly look at whether there are traces of transparent film packaging and labeling! Generally, some cosmetics chain supermarkets in Hong Kong, such as Sasha and Zhuoyue, sell things in transparent film packages, and they all put their own logo price tags on them. When they are brought to the mainland, individuals often tear off the price tags for the sake of price confidentiality. But most of them are not easy to tear, which will leave traces on the goods. Explain that these are all goods that have been sold on the shelves today. This is simple and easy to distinguish, please remember! Note: Everything of Sasha and Zhuoyue has a price tag on it. Lesson 2: Some points that MM who want to buy real skin care and cosmetics online should pay attention to. 1. Distinguish what you see according to my later lessons. If a shop has an imitation, be careful or don't buy anything else at all, because if you don't specialize in this series, it is difficult to guarantee that it is genuine. 2. Don't think that the boss really believes it when he promises. He has several possibilities, one is true, the other is false, but he doesn't know, and there is another interest in it. There are many excuses waiting for you when you get it back. 3. Some parallel stores are imitations (not all stores), and there are all kinds of imitations. The boss is not small. If there are various relationships, I will see CK, lancome, shisedoo, sk-2, Kose, Yuxi, Oprah, etc. Many imitations are really almost the same. If I go to get the goods, I can get profits in 2 yuan for more than 1 years. 4. Go to a reputable parallel store to buy things, and there are also good parallel stores, all of which are genuine. It depends on your eyes. 5. Don't think that there is any magic trick, just look at the bar code or the location of the production date, etc ... Every imitation is different, and there is no unique trick to judge the truth, such as the truth.
