A few reviews felt the product they purchased was old. How can I make sure BEFORE purchasing that it is fresh?

You won't know until you receive the product, but Amazon stands behind their products - even those sold by other sellers, and so there should not be a problem.

All sales of Mary Kay products on Amazon, ebay, craigslist are ILLEGAL. Mary Kay stands 100% behind their products when purchased from an authorized Mary Kay beauty consultant. Please find an authorized seller at an official Mary Kay consultant website and your product will the real deal and not expired from a former consultant or unethical seller. Please dont support illegal business sales. These sellers are going against Amazon and Mary Kay seller agreements.

Mine seems fine. Have you tried to reach the seller? Other than returning the product if you felt it was old, I do not know what you can do.

You can buy from an active Independent Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. The people selling MK on here are usually Terminated Consultants selling off their old expired stock

It SHOULD be new unless specifically stated otherwise. However it is best to check with the particular vendor to be sure.

When I ordered the one that came wasn't expired. I think it's just an old picture.

I'm not really sure how to tell. I usually just go by all the reviews and make sure the seller has a really good rating. I always look up the product on their website and try to check out the pictures and packaging. The packaging must be sealed.

There is an expiration date on the back of the can.There is no way to know it when it's bought online.It should be ok but return it if it's not good.LauraLaura

thats most likely an old photo, they will not send you expired item. You go through them pretty quickly so they should not expire on you.

Not sure what he means. How long has the product been in existence? Many years as I've been using it for about 20 years. How old, or fresh, is the individual item? I would ask the seller.

You would need to check the expiration date on the jar. It will say...Best if used by... It does not clarify if opened or not.

You need to check with the people you order from for date of expiration. I never have mine long enough to worry about that, it's always fresh.

I am interested in getting this product but i am hesitant because some of the reviews indicate that they send expired product and diluted and not origianl.

I usually by product before expiration date. I don't buy the product if it has expired

Yes all products should be new and packaging should be sealed!My best suggestion is to contact the seller for an exchange or what would best for your convenience.

It woudl be safe to presume that they would ship non-expired product. The expiration date is likely from the original listing.

My guess is it's old, expired product. The new packaging has been around for a while. Does the bottle have an expiration date?

I would guess the same, old packaging vs new. I have only bought the green bottle, and it works wonderfully.
