Q. When does sunscreen expire? Should I replace my sunscreen every year?
A. Some sunscreens come with expiration dates, so it would be worth checking the label. The FDA requires all sunscreens to remain stable for three years. If we assume (conservatively) that a year goes by between manufacture and sale, that still gives you at least two year’s margin of safety.
My dermatologist told me if a sunscreen/sunblock did not contain Titanium then it would not do the job. I've found Neutrogena has a product with Titanium which I use.
