I bought Benefit facial emulsion moisturizer and the toner mainly because it was on sale. I am wanting to finish my other moisturizer and toner products first before switching over to benefit! I have about 3-4 more months left on the current moisturizer and toner I have..

I see no expiration date and I havent open any of my benefit products. Any thoughts?

They normally do have an expiration date, just not printed like how it is on food. I'll post a few picks of products with expiration dates.

I think as long as you don't open up the product, it will last you much longer. Once you open the container, it oxidizes the product and the product will start changing.

Yes, whatever number the icon has, is how long the shelf life is. Majority of the time it's either 6,12, or 24 months. Hope this helps you :)
