Manufacture date and shelf life
Can I tell when my Augustinus Bader The Eye Cream was made from its batch code?
Not reliably. No reliable public rule exists for Augustinus Bader codes. The brand’s customer service can date a code if you send it to them.
How long does Augustinus Bader The Eye Cream last unopened?
Augustinus Bader does not publish an unopened shelf life we could verify (checked October 2026). Go by the date printed on the pack; Korean imports always carry one on the Korean label.
How long can I use it after opening?
Look for the open-jar symbol on the pack (for example 12M = 12 months after opening). Our period-after-opening calculator gives the exact date.
