SK-II Batch Code Checker & Expiry Date Calculator
Instantly decode the manufacturing date and shelf life of any SK-II product. Works with all SK-II products including Facial Treatment Essence (Pitera Essence), GenOptics Aura Essence, Skinpower Cream, R.N.A. Power, and more. SK-II is manufactured by P&G and batch codes are typically 4-8 characters.
How to Find Your SK-II Batch Code
1. Locate the Code
On SK-II bottles (like the Facial Treatment Essence), the batch code is printed on the bottom of the bottle. For boxed items, check the bottom flap of the outer carton. The code is typically 4-8 characters as SK-II is manufactured by P&G.
2. Don't Confuse with Barcode
The batch code is not the long barcode (EAN/UPC) on the packaging. The batch code is a short alphanumeric stamp, often in a smaller font or inkjet-printed text on the bottom or back of the product.
3. Decode Instantly
Select "SK-II" from the brand dropdown in the calculator above, enter your batch code, and click "Check Now" to see the manufacturing date and estimated expiry.
