No: no don't use it. contact the doctor and ask for a RX for the medicine.

I would not: recommend using a prescription medication that is expired by a year. It may not be harmful, but likely has lost some of its effectiveness. Just wait until your prescription gets filled...that is safer.

I am not sure how this works but I would like to discuss my problem with acne. I have seen multiple dermatologist and have not been happy with the results.
