A member asked:

What are risks of using old cosmetics, even if unopened?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Separation: Separation of ingredients may occur producing problems with the application. Opened products may become contaminated. Mascara is particularly prone to colonization with bacteria. Due to the close proximity to the eye, this can cause serious eye infections.
