The one thing about TK Maxx is you have to be wary of old stock that they've acquired from somewhere. My local one was still selling the revised formula Liz Earle toner and Eyebright until recently, the ones that everybody hated and were pulled at least a couple of years ago. Similarly I spotted Crabtree & Evelyn soaps and hand creams last week that must have been sitting in a warehouse for years.

Soap won't go off, never heard about it doing so.
What many do is using their mobile and unsure check the bar code on the product with cosmetic checker.
TKMaxx get accused of old stock, but I remember Jurlique now sold on QVC again. They used real use by dates, think 25/02/26 and the products were well in advance. There are other brands which use proper use by dates and never out of date.

At least it will be a break from the constant flogging of Elemis
No but it's still not ideal being unaware that you're buying something that was made three years ago. And while that might not be a problem with bar soaps, liquid ones can certainly discolour over time. The Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Wash I saw in TK Maxx looked an odd shade of yellow, not the light green it would have been when it was fresh.

Usually, colour change in liquid products is because they were not stored correctly. Heat and sunlight. Going cloudy in liquid products is a different story.

Of all the beauty and spa brands I was totally baffled why L'Oreal discontinued Decleor. I thought it was wonderful. If it comes back I will keep an eye on it. I wonder what Fiona Brackenberry knows anything.

Fiona, left Decleor long ago so I doubt she would know anything.

yes she left at least seven years ago and started her own business. Being in the beauty industry Donna I bet she's heard something. Ebay have loads of Decleor no telling how old it is, however.

There is recent talk that Decleor has been bought and will soon become available again. If true that and Gatineau will be my favourites.

Didn't know that, so thanks Donna. So a FiKi reunion is off the cards then.
Like Decleor specially the oils.
Look at page 1 of this thread, it confirms this

Me too particularly the Neroli and the Iris ones, I liked the body one that was meant to act as a tan accelerator or at least help your skin in the sun, it lasted me ages and helped me get a tan without burning, although I do wear fairly high spf

these are all wonderful products I am still very curious about the reasons L'Oreal took that decision.
me too, I never had a single issue with any of my Decleor skincare. I wonder in this case if it will reappear on QVC..

Loved the original Decleor products. L’Oreal bought them out, changed the formulas for cheap ingredients but left prices the same. I stopped buying as their so called improvements IMO were dreadful and my skin suffered. I suspect they had a big loss in sales so stopped producing.
The old saying applies “if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it”
Hopefully this new range reverts back to the original formulations.
