   Noway, you should never use expired medication, why chance screwing up your face?

   If it’s expired, it’s like putting mush and water on your face. It’s perfectly fine to use, it’s just that you’d be wasting your time.

   hi
   It’s more sticky as it is outdated =you can keep using it if it works and you don’t mind the stickyness but if you have a repeat on it get a new one=if it was me I would get a new one anyway

   Although it is “expired” it’s ingredients are probably still active. The tube/bottle does not have an internal timer on it. Whn they did the studies on this, they probably figured out how long it remained at it’s affective “peak”. So, iIt may not be as STRONG as it is ment to be, but it will still have an affect. I would throw out anything 6+ months or more expired though.

   go ahead. It will still work. It would take years not to, and the expiration date is like the sell by date. Most people will tell you to never take expired medicine, but this is really not that big of a deal and if anything, the medicine would lose its potency and just not work anymore. Again, that would take a real long time.
