‼️Near expiry (12M) PAO‼️

I opened this cleansing oil in July even though it was meant to expire in August. Even after the expiration date, can I still use this? Because the PAO is 12M.

I personally still use my products after the PAO as long as it looks fine, smells fine, and feels fine and haven'thad any problems. It's difficult for a company to predict when the product is going to go off as there are too many factors involved (eg. store it in direct sun or in the car and it will expire alot sooner). There are products on the shelves that don't have an expiry date and who knows how long they've been there for and people buy them and use them. I treat expiry dates as best before dates.

I've seen many. These are 2 examples. The Nivea is for face and body. I have 2 jars and no expiry dates.

Preferably no. Expiry date means that it has past shelf-life, and the product's preservatives no longer work. Only look for PAO if the product has yet to expire.

the expiry date means the product will no longer work well in the skin, i suggest you to don’t use it after the expiry date
