I just started reusing an old jar of Wrinkle Balm I found in my linen closet. It's about 3-4 years old. There's no expiration date on the jar.
Do U think it's still good?
(BTW, I keep cosmetics for years. However, my stash is always "stored" in a cosmetics fridge. This one (Wrinkle Balm) fell thru the cracks. I have no clue how it ended up in my linen closet. Same goes for the Watermelon Wrinkle Soak and the Energy Eyes Mask. At some point, I must've been using them regularly and just forgot to use 'em up. So they never made it to the fridge.)

If it's been opened, then I doubt it's at full potency anymore. The rule of thumb is that products stay fresh for 2 yrs. unopened and 1 yr. from being opened.

Thanks, JLF.
I'm gonna toss the masks (they smell "stale"), but keep the Wrinkle Balm. I love that stuff!

Wine and cheese are "aged". Anyway, if a product isn't dried up, smelly, separated, or seems in any way tainted, I use it......maybe on my feet -- but I use it up.
