What happens if I store an acne treatment at high temperature?
My acne treatment states I should not store it above 25°C. Unfortunately, I left it in my car for three hours at high temperature. Does that solution remain effective and/or safe to use after high temperature exposure?

hey queen bee..
i m a pharmacist and i know that it is not a matter if you had left it only for 3 hours because when formulating..we keep such things in mind..it is written for exact safty not to use a medicine when it is expired while after expiry date a med has 50 %efficacy left..so feel free to use it
It will probably be okay to use (unless it says not to on the bottle) but it may not be as effective. I’ve left mine in the car before and it just seemed to be more of a cleanser after wards, instead of acne treatment.
If it is a prescription strength cream or gel, it will not be as effective. It might not even be as effective as the creams you can get at the drug store. It will probably work but not as well. If you have bad acne, call your doctor & explain what happened – he will probably write another script & don’t leave it in your car !!! some are to be stored in the fridge too.
