Question by jaymac9170: Can over the counter acne treatments expire?
I have this pump bottle of Neutrogena Acne Wash. I haven’t used it in like 4 months. Is it still good to use? And in general, can acne treatment creams expire?

I think they expire a year after you buy them.
I have some fash wash and says it expires in 2010.
So I think you are good. :]

well it says on a label for mine that it expired but i tried it and im fine. but i think yours will still be good so i say use it
After the expiration date it might just not work as well or something. I’ve also heard of bacteria and stuff growing after it;s expired a while ago… after 4 months you should def be fine!
Of course, they do. Every drug has an expiry date. Why don’t you look at the crimp. It should be there. And rather than trying OTC treatment, why don’t you go natural? I can only say this. Avoid food that is too spicy and oily. So, no french fries!!! And make it a point to change your pillow cover on a regular basis. And keep your towel clean. Use some disinfectant like Savlon while washing it. Use a good facewash suitable for your skin type and preferably a good astringent. Eat a lot of green veggies. The importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables can never be overstated. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Cut down your intake of coffee and dairy products. Eat food that is rich in fiber, so that your bowel movements are regular. Eating a few bananas should help. Sleep on time. Have patience. You should see improvement in a few days. Wish you luck.
