How long can a person use the same bottle of sunscreen? There does not appear to be any markings on my particular bottle, but it has turned from creamy to liquid.

yes it does. The bottle should have a date on it. If you don't see a date I would throw it away after a year.

If you doubt the effectiveness, then you probably shouldn't use it. Most sunscreen products expire within 2 to 3 years, but I usually replace mine each year.
I love the new Coppertone continuous spray. It's super easy! 0

Yes it DOES expire!!! It IS expired. Usually sunscreen is good for 9 months to a year. It should have an expiration date, and if it does not, then do not purchase it.

definatly look for an expiration date because if not the purpose of your protection is nill. Also they are usually effective for two years. The fact that its turned to liquid maybe because its sitting around from summer to summer who knows

yes, it does. I usually use about a bottle a week. if you see that the texture, odor, consistency changes, throw it away and buy another. By the way, my favorite brand is Neutrogena.

Yes, it gradually becomes less effective.

I think it becomes less effective over time.
