📅 Step 3. Enter The Date

📖 How to Use This App

Navigating Korean skincare labels can be quite confusing because many brands prefer to print the Manufacturing Date (제조) rather than the Expiration Date. This often leads to perfectly safe products being misunderstood.

Simply select the term that matches your label, optionally add the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, and enter the date. We will securely save this to your virtual vanity and provide a clear translation of its status.

💡 Helpful Tip on PAO

The small Open Jar symbol indicates how many months the product remains safe to use AFTER it has been opened. For example, "12M" means you should finish the product within 12 months of opening it, regardless of the printed manufacturing date.

⚖️ General Reference & Precautions

This application provides a translation of standard cosmetic labeling terminology. The actual usability of a product is highly dependent on the manufacturer's specific formulation, ingredients, and your storage conditions (such as avoiding direct sunlight and humidity).

This information is intended as a helpful guide, not a definitive safety guarantee. Always check the official brand guidelines, and discontinue use immediately if you notice any unusual changes in color, texture, or scent.
