Question Posted Monday April 3 2006, 3:00 am

I have been using Duac Topical Cream on my face...it was prescribed by my dermatologist and has 5% Benzoyl Peroxide and 1% Tri-something (lol...dont remember the spelling)...anyways, it has a 60 day expiration date, and is quite expensive. I was wondering, does anyone use this? If so, is that expiration date a must to be followed? Also, does that expiration mean when you bought it from the store? I am confused!

next time, ask your derm for 2 smaller tubes. that usually helps with the money thing. right now, call your derm and ask them. they can probably give you a better answer than anyone on here. <3

well i dont use it but i would advise you not to becuase i read some reviews of it at
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

and a lot of people said there face got red and irritated and one persons daughter had to go to the hospitol.

but hey, im no doctor so if your dermatologist prescribed it then you should use it.

Anything that has expired will not hurt you if you use it, but it will not be as effective as it was before it expired. hope i helped! &hearts; dAnieLLe

Experation dates are different on face cream then on say... a gallon of milk. When your cream expires, it means it will start to not work as well. You can continue to you use, but it might not be as effective. You can also go to the dermatologist and just get a new tub of cream.

The expiration date tells you when the medicine in the cream will start to lose effectiveness. You can probably still use it afterwards, it might not work as well though. The date's only there because it's required by law. I'd ask your dermatologist if maybe she can give you a smaller tube of the cream because you're not using it all and wasting your money.
