Expired cleanser

[GrapefruitGin]

I’m a collector of all these skin care, I have a bad habit of buying more products than I can use. Just used an exfoliating facial scrub before realising on the back of the tube is says ‘exp 08/2019’. Is this terrible? What will happen if I continue to use it? It’s only been open for about a month, does this make a difference? Help!

Yes, it's terrible. Don't. you might break out. Wouldn't use it.

I'd totally use it! Assuming it smells ok nothing bad will have happened to it in a couple of months. And as it's only just been opened it won't have festering germs.

At least try it? It seems such a waste to chuck it.

If you don't want to use it on your face. Use it on your body. Would be a shame to waste it

I'm still using a Neals Yard scrub I got as a gift when DD was a newborn. She is now 3. Nothing disastrous has happened yet.

I used it before I realised, smelt fine, felt fine! Tomorrow morning will give me the real verdict, if I wake up with several uninvited guests on my face. Great idea of using it as a body exfoliant! Thank you, all!!

Wtf course its ok

Use it on your hands and body

Use it. Marketing ploy (mostly).

You don't want to see my properly expired stuff that I still use and is fine. I would not bat an eyelid at something that expired a month ago.

Wtf...of course it's okay! It's literally in date imo. I'd still use it a year past that unless it was obviously manky!

I eat cheese that's more out of date than that. Crack on.
