Is an ADDICTION shade number the batch code?
No. Shade numbers identify color variants and recur across many separate production runs.

Addiction FAQ
Does the ADDICTION TOKYO logo give an exact date?
No. It indicates branding used on products released from 2020, not a manufacturing day.
Can a refill code date the empty compact?
No. The cosmetic pan and reusable case are separate products with different markings.
Check an ADDICTION TOKYO makeup batch code
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect compact undersides, refill pans and sleeves, lipstick and gloss bases, pencil barrels, bottle and jar bases, tube crimps, nail-polish labels, carton flaps, and limited-edition kit packaging for a compact printed or engraved lot. Shade names and numbers, Summer or Holiday year, refill designation, SPF/PA rating, brush number, JAN, and barcode identify a color, collection, replaceable component, protection level, tool, or retail item rather than its production date.
- Keep cosmetic fills and accessories separate. An eyeshadow refill, empty compact, brush, pencil sharpener, foundation, lip color, nail lacquer, cleanser, and toner follow different production controls; older ADDICTION packaging and current ADDICTION TOKYO packaging can also belong to different eras without the logo itself revealing an exact date.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the complete ADDICTION or ADDICTION TOKYO product, shade and collection, refill or finished item, makeup/skincare/nail category, size, KOSÉ responsibility panel, JAN, PAO or expiry, and all component and carton codes.
- Keep pans, applicators and brushes clean, close liquids and nail polish tightly, and replace makeup after contamination, drying, odor change, eye irritation, or a major change in color, consistency, or performance.
