I have a pack of pills that was expired 1/12, two months ago. It is unopened, is it still safe to use if I am using condoms as well? Do they really expire exactly that month, or is it just the sell by date from the pharmacy? I also mainly want to use them to control my acne breakouts.

Thanks in advance

I'd call your pharmacist and ask.

Personally, I'd never advise using anything past the expiry date, be it condoms, medications or foods.
