Hydroquinone Expiration
I have a cream that is 4% hydroquinone and also has kojic acid, fluocinolone, and retinoic acid. The cream expired 1.5 years ago. Is it still effective if I use it?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Hello,
Since the cream has reached beyond its expiry date, I would suggest you not to use it because it may cause irritant contact dermatitis. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
