Expired Copper Peptide Product and Color Change

Asked by: plutopon.ntk On: May 06, 2015 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

I have a Copper Peptide product (LOT 140341-1) with an expiration date of 6/2015. I noticed the color changed from light blue to clear. Is this product expired and is it still safe/effective to use?

Answer

Based on the expiration date you provided (6/2015), the Copper Peptide product is indeed expired.

Using expired cosmetic ingredients is generally not recommended as their efficacy may be reduced and there could be potential safety risks. The change in color from light blue to clear could also be an indication of degradation over time, which is expected after the expiration date.

Therefore, it is best not to use this expired product.
