Interesting cleanser. I have some samples here. But my samples are from 2009. I’m not sure if I’ll test them because I think they’re too old.
They should be still good if you kept your samples in a cool dark place as the shelf life (if unopened) is 3 years. There’s hardly any difference with the reformulated version as well so your samples would still give you a pretty good idea of what the cleanser is like.
