Did you know that an old medication that has been around for 2 years can change chemically?? Well it can.....and I am thinking that is what has happened to your product. It is probably no good so you should throw it away and buy something New.......... Maybe you should try the Pro-Active that is advertised on TV. I hear it is excellent. I want to wish you the best of luck with your predicament and may God bless and keep you safe.<br><b>References : </b><br>Pharmacy Technician licensed by the state of California HELLO THERE DUWOPPER,
