Is Dicila still produced?
Shiseido announced the brand's end for November 2019, so current listings are generally legacy or resale stock.
Check d'icil Cosmetic Batch Code
Dicila, written ディシラ in Japan and sometimes rendered d'icilà or d'icil in catalogues, was a Shiseido-group counselling cosmetics brand. Shiseido announced that the brand would end in November 2019. That closure date is not a manufacture date for remaining skincare, makeup or fragrance, but it makes package condition and a genuine production mark especially important when assessing old stock.
d'icil FAQ
Where is a Dicila batch code?
Check the container base or tube seam, then the lower label and carton flaps.
Does 2019 date every Dicila product?
No. It marks the brand closure, not the production date of an individual item.
Dicila codes on discontinued Japanese cosmetics
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect bottle and jar bases, tube crimps, lower back labels and carton flaps for the short stamped or embossed production code used on the original pack.
- Do not use the 2019 closure notice, a product launch year, JAN barcode, shade number or PAO as the unit's production date.
Common lookup mistakes
- Keep the outer box and photograph both codes before buying sealed legacy stock; mismatched, erased or relabelled marks deserve caution.
- Avoid an old product when its seal, odour, colour or texture has changed even if a code estimate appears plausible.
