Moved to frugal.

TL;DR: Face sunscreens are overpriced and adding way too many actives for marketing reasons to the point of me not being able to use them anymore, old reliables have been reformulated, and trying generic to get a more basic option didn’t work out well either.

FFS. I just want affordable basics that don’t sting or cause reactions.

I should have just bought from the same disliked but tolerable brand while it was half price.

    I looked up a survey on choice the other day. I'll see if I can find it for you.

    but basically, so many are crap

    Yeah, that’s worrying. I don’t use a lot of products but sunscreen is kind of a necessity and it’s getting so hard to find something that just does the job.

    Edit: Am… am I going to be forced to wear a bucket hat next summer? Because broad brimmed hats flap up or sag down, and baseball caps don’t cover your neck or ears
