How long can I keep moisturizing creams?

Moisturizing creams generally have a shelf life of about 1 to 3 years, depending on their ingredients and packaging. Always check for an expiration date on the product, and be mindful of changes in smell, texture, or color, which can indicate spoilage. If the cream contains natural ingredients or is preservative-free, it may have a shorter shelf life. To maximize longevity, store the cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
