Q: Does this product have an expiration date? I don’t see one on the box or bottle.
A: Hello there! CeraVe products, like the Resurfacing Retinol Serum, typically do have an expiration date or a Period After Opening (PAO) symbol. The PAO symbol looks like an open jar with a number followed by the letter "M" (e.g., 12M). This indicates how many months the product is good for after it's been opened. If you can't find either an expiration date or a PAO symbol on the box or bottle, it's best to contact CeraVe customer service directly for clarification. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate information about the product's shelf life. You can usually find their contact information on the CeraVe website. It's important to use products within their recommended timeframe for optimal efficacy and safety.
