Do not use night cream after it expires.

Although night cream is rich in nutrients and good for the skin, it contains chemical ingredients after all. It is easy to deteriorate after it expires, and it will also undergo oxidation reaction with the air. Using it on the face will not only fail to replenish skin nutrients, but may also damage the skin and cause allergies. So don’t use night cream once it’s expired.
