May not work: Use the topical benzoyl peroxide as you can tolerate, a daily wash with the salicylic acid, tea tree oil only if you are a female (it's made men grow breasts), leave the aloe vera unused. This will clear you only if your acne is mild. If it's on your trunk is producing scars or isn't gone in two weeks, get with your physician who can add prescription-strength Rx.

Do acne proofing products work past expiration date? I have a bottle of neutrogena acne proofing gel cleanser, and the active ingredient is salicylic acid. The expiration date is may 2021. Will it still work, or should I buy a new bottle?
