Do you only sell product that is not past its due date on bottom? When it gets cloudy/milky instead of clear amber, it's "stale."

All of our product is fresh out of the box. It has not expired. Each product has a different shelf life. Of course you can use your product at home even after it expires unless you see a change in consistency. The date on the bottom is the manufactures date. Remember that certain things affect your product. Temperature is a big part. If you feel that a product is bad, all you need to do is return it for a replacement product. I hope this helps you! CJs

If you look closely near the top of the bottle, you will see an imprint on the glass that gives you the "use by date". After this date, the product may start to deteriorate. Since you purchased yours in 2013, assuming it was fresh when you bought it, it should be safe to use up to the date shown on the container. After that it should be discarded. Hope this helps!

Mine seemed fine, but I found this online regarding things you can look for to determine if it's fresh: http://www.ehow.com/info_8359516_storage-life-raw-cacao-beans.htmlI found the "best by" date on the bottom of the back panel - to the right of the bar code.Hope this helps! I would definitely contact the seller and see about a replacement if it seems bad.

I'd send it back. It could be old, or melted and re-solidified. It's supposed to be creamy, not grainy.

I bought it last year, and I just remember, that it was cheaper,because it had a sell-date about 4 months ahead. I think the higher price would mean that the sell-date would be giving you more time to use. by the way, they are sumptuous, I keep them now in the fridge, and they are still good!

Yes, mine had only about 4 months before expiry also, but luckily it is summer here in Australia and I slather it on. I would have been angry had I been in the northern hemisphere. I would not reorder from the same seller, as I consider selling soon-to-expire stock a form of dishonesty and short-changing of customers.

I don't know. The date's been rubbed off my container. As I recall, my last container lasted several months, and the date was far from the time I ran out. I usually check these things when I receive them, and don't recall being concerned about the date.

there is a date on mine and it was fresh when I purchased it ... you can read the explanation of codes here: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Mary-Kay-Product-Shelf-Life-Secrets-Revealed-/10000000000087831/g.html

What's the date on the product? I don't think it's supposed to be cloudy. I would contact the seller for an exchange.

A "sell-by" date is stamped on the side of the bottle of the brand I have. I would take that as its expiration date as well. My advice? Order only small quantities.

I had not noticed that date. Since it is long before the can was sold, it is probably the date the product in the can was produced. It should not have anything to do with expiration or the such. The product (if kept in a clean, safe, and moderate temperature area) should remain safe and useable indefinitely.

The back side, where the product is sealed, I found the date which is August 21, 2013. Now I bought the product around that time and have used it past the date and have not had any issues in terms of effects, but again I normally don't get any negative effects from using past the labelled date so it would be your choice.

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.

The product has over a year to be consumed. I wouldn't open more than one canister at a time, they can go stale.

My recent shipment shows a "best used by" date of 4/2016. Also, my new shipment does not have a single damaged can! The cases were packed differently, so my assumption is that my prior negative review was taken seriously.

My dates were not at all dry. If they arrived that way, return them as faulty and demand a new pack of fresher dates.

There is a "Best Before" date printed on the back or bottom of the package. We do not recommend feeding the product after the "Best Before" date.
