Can a potion be used over a 1/1 or instant kill?

I was just wondering, if a boss were to 1/1 you, and you use a power elixir or some sort of % potion, could you prevent going down to 1/1? Or with an instant kill, if you used the potion fast enough, could you prevent it? Because I notice you can use a potion before all the damage inflicted is taken out of HP. Example, I'm at zakum, it 1/1s me, but before my hp/mp go down to 1, I use a power elixir and my hp is full health. Could this sort of method be used to prevent death? Like using a potion right as the monster hits you and your hp starts to approach 0? Thanks!

Oooh, I get it. So there is NO way to prevent getting 1/1ed or instant killed with a potion?

EDIT: I get it now, thanks guys!

Hmm, okay, I just notice that the hp doesn't just go straight down to 1 if you get 1/1ed, so there is a split second delay where the hp is going down and you can use a potion and your HP will not reach 1. Is it a different case between 1/1s and instant kills?
