Where to find the batch code on Lancôme products?
Finding the batch code on your Lancôme product is essential for tracking its freshness. For skincare products like serums or creams, look at the bottom of the glass jar or plastic bottle. The code is often etched into the container or printed in a small, contrasting color.
If you have a tube (like a cleanser or hand cream), check the crimped seal at the very top. For boxed items, Lancôme usually stamps the same alphanumeric code on the outer packaging near the barcode or ingredient list. Most Lancôme batch codes consist of 3 to 6 characters, combining letters and numbers.
Important: Period After Opening (PAO)
While the batch code reveals the expiration date for unopened products, the **Period After Opening (PAO)** symbol is what you must follow once you use the product for the first time. Look for an "open jar" icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M, 12M). This indicates how many months your Lancôme product remains safe and effective after the seal is broken.
