Could anyone please tell me how do you read expiration dates on Isomers products?  Have a couple of bottles and don't know how old they are.

Would really appreciate any help you could give.

Thanks so much

Directly from Isomers FAQ website...

What is the shelf life of Isomers products?

Isomers products have a shelf life of three (3) years if they are stored unopened and out of sunlight. We suggest that all of our products be kept in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend storing Isomers products in your bathroom as they may be affected by humidity and changes in temperature. They do not need to be stored in the refrigerator.

Open products follow the same shelf life, if used in a hygienic way.  If your hands are not clean, for example, you may introduce bacteria to the product and overwhelm the preservative system. Introducing products to excessive amount of bacteria can potentially reduce the product shelf life.

Over-the-Counter drugs such as deodorant, acne treatments and sunscreen have an expiration date on the bottle. Please refer to bottle.

How do I know if my product has surpassed its three-year shelf life?

Each bottle is coded with a lot number; this lot number can be found at the bottom of the bottle, printed in white or blue alpha- numeric characters (note: numeric characters with only one alpha; the numbers are printed not embossed). Should you have any doubts or concerns, please contact ISOMERS Laboratories direct at 416-787-2465, dial 1, or contactus@isomers.ca with the lot number and product name. We will then be able to assist you.

How long will a bottle of Isomers product last?

That depends on how often the product is used and how much is used per application. Typically, a one-ounce bottle of serum will last two to three months if three to five drops are used morning and night.

@hatetoiron For most products, there should be an 8 digit number followed by a letter on the bottom of the bottle.  The first 2 digits are the manufacture year, the third and fourth digits are the month and the fifth and sixth digits are the day.  For example, 16040255H, means that it was manufactured on 04/02/16.  The products expire 3 years after the manufacture date.  The sunscreen product has the actual expiration date on the bottle.  HTH
