Why Fresh Is Better
Everybody knows that fresh food is better for you. Fresh skincare is no different.

Similar to fresh food, skincare becomes stale and ineffective over time.
Everybody knows that fresh food is better for you. Since fresh food is subject to spoilage, it should ideally be consumed at its nutritional peak to obtain the most benefits. Similarly, skincare becomes stale and ineffective over time.

By the time it touches your skin, the skincare is old, weak, and ineffective.
During the production of skincare, the active ingredients, especially antioxidants, are activated and start to degrade as they react with oxygen, water, and other components present in the formula. As skincare products move from the factory to the warehouse, in transit, and finally to store shelves, they are exposed to uncontrolled factors such as elevated temperature, light, and humidity for long periods (several months or even more than a year), accelerating the degradation of these active ingredients.
Most active ingredients do not exhibit a noticeable change in color or scent when they undergo degradation.

Unlike fresh food that visibly spoils, it is difficult to detect when skincare has gone bad.
Most active ingredients do not exhibit a noticeable change in color or scent when they degrade. However, some actives, specifically the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), changes from light yellow to orange-brown when oxidized, indicating the product has gone bad. Expiration dates are unreliable for determining the skincare’s potency and efficacy, as they diminish far before the stated expiration date. Moreover, degraded ingredients may also lead to skin irritation and sensitivity.
