Not to be rude, but is this color too old to use? I want to purchase a bottle, would like to be sure it won't come and be oxidized. Thanks!

I ordered this for my mom and her hair turns out fine. I'm not sure what you mean by old, is there an expiration date on the bottle?

I've been using this serum for years. Upon receipt, the color has been anywhere from clear to SLIGHTLY golden. As the serum ages, the color will turn gold. The research I have done on the product claims this is a normal process does not alter the potency of the serum. I have found this to be true. However, if I ever received a NEWLY purchased bottle that was too deeply golden, I would probably return it, asking for a serum that had not been sitting around for a while, or had possibly been opened. If the serum is going to age, I want it to be on my own time!

The expiration date should be on the bottle itself. You just need to look for it.

It will have an expiration date on the bottle. I have kept it longer and found that it will turn brown in color. I will not use it when it starts changing color. I have begun purchasing the smaller bottle for that reason.

What is your question ? The date is on the box or bottle. I guess people are not buying as much as money is tight. It is OK to buy as long as the expiation date is within code for that time. You can open the bottle and use for as long as whatever. Bottles past their time are still good, left unopened. People seem to panic because of those dates. Check to see where it is coming from. Depends what country it comes from, that would worry me on the expiration date. I think this company is on the up and up.Cindy N.

Melissa, mine was brand new. I am on the second season using this same bottle. I have used this product for more than five yrs. There may be something better out there but this one does what I want.

All of the bottles I have had have been a very dark brown-orange color. Because I didn't care for the consistency of the liquid just in water, I have always put it in juice so I can't really say if the taste is bitter or if one bottle has tasted different from another bottle. You raise a good question though. Perhaps it would be best to reach out to the manufacturer to determine what color the product should be when it is freshest.

Do you mean the expiration date? I wouldn't know what date that would have been for this particular bottle. I could look up the date on the latest bottle I just got, if you like. But I didn't order it from Amazon. Just let me know if you'd like me to look up the date on the current or new bottle, and I'll get back to you with it.

Well, on my old bottle the expiration date is on the TOP OF THE LID, a place I think some are not looking at. However, before I buy more online I too want an answer on what I'm buying, so hope one of us does!

Have been using this product for about 5 years. About a year ago, it became difficult to find from the usual sources, then it showed up here on Amazon. The first 4 years I used this product, it was a nearly white color when the bottle was new. It discolored to a tannish yellow near the end of the bottle usu. about 3 months with this size. The bottles I've purchased through Amazon never start out with the "newly opened product" color. Gotta figure the product is old straight out of the box. That said, it's HALF the price I use to pay and still works. I still buy it.

I have used mine up and have not replaced yet. But the bottle I had, had 6 months left on expiration when I had checked.

This is the real Seb. drench (you can also buy it at Walgreens and CVS not sure if it's the same price worth a look!) but my bottle is like dysfunctional lol. I don't know how the explain that I actually have to leave the cap off.I'm sure it's just mine though, probably got messed up in shipping. :)

Yes, it turns a darker amber as it has oxidized (through normal opening of the bottle). It shouldn't affect its properties, but if you bought it "new", I would question the source. It should be an almost clear golden tone. Someone opened your bottle. Why?

Have bought it for several years and there has never been a problem with it oxidizing. In fact, I am really surprised that anyone is even making such a comment that it does oxidize, because the pressurized container is air tight and one can only get the solution out by their special "contraption" that releases the solution. Could be the comments are coming from a competitor trying to attack the product, and maybe they are not familiar with the protective packaging. People do that you know (smile).

It isn't old stock. There are multiple versions of packaging out there. The product I received was nowhere near expiring. I actually received the newer packaging but I could care less. It's what's inside the bottle that counts.

I am 81 years old and using the bottle is not a problem. I actually purchased this product to use on a trip East.

I questioned that also, the reply was no! It was suggested I buy the one with crystalline. Almost finished my first bottle, sometimes I see a lot more color. I'm not there yet, still optimistic though. Wish you all luck!
