A few months past the expired date for a sunscreen may be okay but certainly not several months or years!! I would never rely on an expired sunscreen, ever. I am not taking that risk.

How do we know when a product actually loses its effectiveness? This sunscreen still looks, smells and feels the same on my skin and (I'm very fair) has been keeping me sunburn-free all this time when I'm out on a motorcycle ride with my husband all day in the Texas summer sun and with only one initial application. I guess different formulations age differently but for me, as long as it's working and doesn't look or smell like it's gone bad, why throw it out?
I know of no sunscreen that would still be effective for ten years. Most skincare without SPF is usually good for two to three years unopened and a year or so opened. I've had bath and body products last far longer but I have a hard time thinking SPF products would.

Sunscreen is one product known to lose its effectiveness fast. Don't buy an expired product.
