Can lotion, body spray, perfume, shampoo, shower gel, etc expire?

I found a lotion bottle and some shower stuff in a box from a couple of years ago and I don't know if I can still use them.Can lotion, body spray, perfume, shampoo, shower gel, etc expire?
Yes they can expire....if it's a lotion bottle look on the bottom or the back of the container and there should be a little symbol that looks like an open jar and there should be a number in the middle of the open jar symbol....that number stands for how many months the product is good for once it has been opened.

Lotion, shampoo, body spray, and shower gel definitely expire. Well-made (high end expensive) perfume does not expire easily and can be kept for decades.
Lotion - Yes.


Body Spray - No.


Perfume - No.


Shampoo - Yes, depending.


Shower gel - No, not really.
lol, no they don't expire. I found some of my mom's old perfume (from the 80's) and it still smells great. (although i don't know why she's had it so long?)
don't use it after a year cause all the chemicals and everything is old, and just nasty!
Lotion i know goes bad..i have had a bottle for like 3 years and i put it on and it smelt SO bad.
It may not have expired but its better to avoid its usage.
I think shower gel and shampoo expire but all da rest r fine.
you can still use them
i don't think so but i know that deodorant can expire.
yes
