I know that the rep mentioned the marine cream had a three year expiration date if unopened. My concern is the specific date of the spf version. 
does this company show the expiration date specifically on the spf version.? some of the skin care companies such as Clinique and Estée Lauder don't show expiration date and I don't like that.

The SPF version contains chemical sunscreen ingredients which usually have a 3-year expiration from date of purchase, according to the FDA.

Thank you for your response but that answer is not good enough. SPF prevents skin cancer on your face. When Elemis states it has a shelf life of three years how do you know when it was made? It could have been made months ago in preparation for this tsv. Most companies put a specific expiration date on their sunscreen products. The product itself may still be fine but the effectiveness of the spf is gone.

if someone already has this can you let me know whether it has the date anywhere? Sometimes it's on the outside packaging.

My guess is you'll use it all up before 3 years are up. So the exact date doesn't matter unless you're buying enough to go past 3 years of use.

 

The 3.3-oz jar of Marine Cream will be used up fairly quickly when 1/2-teaspoon for face/neck is used daily. That amount is what is needed for proper SPF.

I have the SPF version and the expiration date is printed on the box.

I’ve had this item for 2 weeks and I’m almost through the jar. No way is this lasting until the next auto ship date. Is anyone else experiencing going through this product fast?

Wow how much are you putting on each day? @Bellini13 🤗


A jar lasts me at least 3 months. I don’t use it on my neck though. I use another brands SPF 60 on my neck and chest.

I've used this size jar for years. You only need a small drop for your whole face. You clearly are using too much. A little goes a long way. It should last 6 months.
