Does Anti-perspirant or deodorant ever expire if you use it past it's expiry date?

You will be able to use it after the expiration date, No problem.\nBut if you use it after 10 or 20 months that will be the problem...\nPlz choose me as best answer!!

Well, deodorants don't stop perspiration, they only make it more difficult for the perspiration to develop an odor. If you perspire a lot then it is really difficult to overcome that with only a deodorant.\n\nTry Mitchum antiperspirants, especially the unscented varieties. They work very well.

Actually it is best not to use any underarm deodorant if possible.Most contain Aluminum Zirconium and other chemicals which are not good for your skin.I have heard on the news that some of these chemicals are being tested to see if they cause breast cancer.Bath and Body Works is a store you may have heard of that sells all kinds of body sprays and more natural deodorant products.

deodorant is used to just cover up the odor. anti persperant is used to close the pores so wetness doesnt come through the skin.

I asked this same question and this was an answer I got.\n\nBest Answer - Chosen By You\n\nThere's an anti-perspirant calle CertainDri that works great! It's really heavy duty stuff but you can usually find it at WalMart or Target. A lot of times it's not with the regular deodorants but in with the foot sprays because it works great on feet too.\nAlso, make sure you're using an anti perspirant and not just a deodorant

One that's not expired.

I tell you to get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your feet. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your socks or shoes. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.

Yes. If its after a year, then I would throw it out.  Usually there is an expiration date somewhere on the bottle. But it doesn't work if it is old.  Hope this helps!

deodorants contain minute quatities of toxins that leach into the skin and are eventually filtered out by your kidneys.  if your kidneys don't work right there is a possibility of you poisoning yourself.\n\nthere was a Darwin award a few years back of some kid who used so much deodorant on a daily basis that he died of benzine poisoning.

If it is expired then throw it out.  It would no longer be effective in helping you if you were to take it for something.  Flush them down the toilet.

You need to buy Anti-perspirant.  Deodorant just masks the B.O.

It has preservatives in it. Just like preserved mangoes etc. It does 'expire', like the colour will change and it may smell funny. But I don't think you can use them for decades and not replacing them unless you are not using it! =)

Don't use botox. Get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms, hands, or feet. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I go to the gym and my shirt gets soaked except for under the arms. That is how well it works. I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.

There is no good scientific evidence to support this claim. The American Cancer Society is not aware of any strong epidemiologic studies reporting a statistical association between breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use. \n\nTo the contrary, a carefully-designed epidemiologic study of this issue published in 2002 compared 813 women with breast cancer and 793 women without the disease found no relationship between breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, deodorant use, or underarm shaving. Likewise, we are not aware of any evidence that aluminum or any of the other chemicals in antiperspirants are mutagenic (cause DNA damage that can lead to cancer). Products such as antiperspirants are rigorously tested and evaluated by the FDA before they can be marketed. \n\nAnother study published in 2003 reported that women who used underarm antiperspirant and shaved their underarms tended to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age than women who do not. However, the study design did not include a control group of women without breast cancer and has been criticized by experts as not relevant to the safety of these underarm hygiene practices. It is likely that in general, young women are more likely than elderly women to shave their underarms, regardless of whether they later develop breast cancer. This is a more likely explanation of the researchersÂ’ findings than the suggestion that these practices cause cancer.

Depends on the date it expires -  not the %.  Also, if you leave one or the other out on the kitchen counter that would factor in too.

Your question makes it sound like we come with expiration dates or "best if used by" dates. There is no set age. Eveyone is different.

Probably so!  As previously stated, most sunscreens should have an expiration date.  I have read that "fresh" sunscreen is more effective at blocking UV rays, but presumably it will be similarly effective any date before the expiration date.  Extreme conditions may shorten the expiry, though.\n\nThe CDC has this to say about sunscreens with no expiration date:\n\n"Also, check the sunscreen's expiration date. Sunscreen without an expiration date has a shelf life of no more than three years. Exposure to extreme temperatures can shorten the expiration date or shelf life of sunscreen."\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ChooseYourCover/qanda.htm\n\nHope that helps!
