That's like a use-by date after opening.





e.g. 36M = 36 months until you should throw it away.


M = months


Number = how many.On the bottom of face creams, gels, cleansers etc, theres a symbol of a open lid container with a number and a?
A few of these answers are wrong, it isn't how long it will last after it's made, it's how long it's safe to use for after you've opened it. After this time, you are at risk from bacteria, for example in mascara, if you use this after it is safe to do so, it can give you eye infections or even make you blind.
it means the shelf life, 36m=36 months sitting in your medical cabinet before you finally discover it 3 years after buying it and ending up having to throw it in the bin!
It's a 'use by' indicator. 36M means 'use within 36 months of opening'.
36M means can use for 36 months after d product is manufactured.


i.e.d expiry date of d product is after 36 months.
its the sell by date. if it says 36M it means its good for 36months.
It's the ';use by'; date. 36M means 36 months shelf life after opening.
It's the use by date after opening.
