Can skincare products be used after expiration?

Patient's question:

Hello, could you please tell me if expired skincare products stored at home can be consumed? Are there any hazards in drinking them?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if skincare products do not contain additives and expire, it is best not to use them casually externally to avoid skin damage, such as allergic reactions, etc. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Skincare products are best used within their effective period to prevent skin damage due to expiration. If your skin is not highly sensitive, expired cosmetics can be used for wiping hands, feet, or the body in daily life. However, if you have a tendency to be easily allergic, it is better to discard them promptly.
