PAO and expiry date

FYI, PAO is period after opening, means if you open the products, you must finish it within the period. It's normally 6m-12m,it is stated on the packaging. Expiry date is how long can the products last if you don't open it. It is normally 2-3 years. So if the product over its PAO, will you still use it on your face or throw it away?

I will try to plan in advance so that I'll be able to finish it before the PAO! but if I exceed it slightly I'll still use it but with caution. maybe on my body instead of my face 😂

If im being honest, yes i'll use it on my face😅 But only for product that i really like. As long as its consistency, color, or smell didn't change and as long as it still gave me the desired effect. But lots of products that exceed PAO usually lose its effectiveness, so for those kind of product, i'll use it on my body instead.

I think I will use on my skin if the product doesn't contain active ingredients like vc and retinol 🤔

I’ll still use it on my face if it looks the same as brand new one.

it really depends on the condition, if it’s the same I might still use it but not if there’s discolouration or changes like in smell
