I just bought the set at Nordstrom Rack (I know, my own fault for being cheap) and the smell & color of the products have me questioning whether they are still good or not. Then a quick search on Google brings me two stock photos of different colors. ???
The youth as we know it was sealed but when I opened it it was a custardy color. A hint darker than the image on the web site (above) but certainly not white. The oxygen mask was leaking a little bit so there was a pink crust near the nozzle. The cream inside still looks good but the ingredients list has Vitamin C which I know doesn’t last too long after it’s been opened.
So… has anyone ever used either of these products? What should it look/smell like?

I’ve used youth as we know it before and it is a tad off white so it should be fine.

I use youth as we know it. It’s definitely closer to yellow than white in color, and has sort of a light orangey smell.

I have the serum and it’s a custardy color – far from white. You should be good!!

The mask comes out a muted pink, so the pink crust is nothing to worry about.

I’ve used the triple oxygen mask. It’s an orange-y/pink color and it definitely smells citrus-like. Then when it goes on it bubbles all over your face (delish!)… which probably explains the crust on the outside of that bottle. Unfortunately I don’t know about the youth as we know it

Hello CT,
How is Lulu doing? Is she okay? I got worried after reading on Twitter that she ate gum… :/ I hope everything is okay, keep us update, please!
Thank you!
