Revlon Batch Code Checker

Revlon Codes Explained

Revlon encodes production dates inside the batch code rather than printing an expiry date on the carton. The Revlon format used here is Short year-month markers or longer codes with a 2-digit year and month token, which is what lets the decoder return a manufacturing date rather than a vague guess.

Decoding is worthwhile whenever the age of the product affects the decision: a vintage purchase, a gift-set found at a discount, a bottle bought second-hand, or a formula you want to keep at its best for as long as possible.

If the packaging also carries a printed expiry date, trust the packaging. The batch code tells you when the product was made; the printed date tells you when it should be used up.

Where to Find Your Revlon Batch Code

Revlon marks its production runs on the underside or the back panel of most packaging. Look in these places:

The code is most often found in one of these places:

• Makeup: on the underside of a compact or the base label of a lipstick
• Hair care: on the base of a bottle or the underside of a pump
• Packaging: on the base or underside of the container
• Carton: on the bottom panel, or next to the barcode

If several codes appear on the packaging, the production code is normally the shortest string on the label. Enter that one into the field above.

Popular Revlon Products

The Revlon products below are the ones queried most frequently:

• Colour cosmetics: ColorStay foundation, concealer, and PhotoReady products
• Makeup: Super Lustrous lipstick and lip liner items
• Colour cosmetics: ColorSilk and boxed dye kits
• Hair care: One-Step Volumizer and related hair tools

Gift sets are the exception worth watching: the outer box and each item inside can carry different codes, and the oldest one in the set sets the limit for how long to keep it.

Getting the Most From Your Revlon Batch Code

Photograph the batch code with the packaging in frame. If you need to raise a query with Revlon customer service later, that single image answers most of their questions.

Check the bottom of the container before anything else. The batch code is more often there than on the carton, and it is the code that governs the contents.
