Is there a hope for sunscreens?

Hey guys, just wanted to share some findings related to sunscreen controversy specifically on SPF claim and its effective performance which has made us disappointed and yet still hoping for some sunscreen out there to save us. source: https://www.consumer.org.hk/ws_en/news/press/528/sunscreen-test.html Also, what do you guys think about the current sunscreens controversy?? Honestly, I was shocked after knowing the situation, but I hope every brand can come clear and do their own individual test before distributing it to the market. Thus, they can also live up to their claim and our trust as well.

Thank you for sharing! Reminding everyone that that there are always discrepancies among different testing methods by different testing laboratories. Also between in vivo (on real people) and in vitro (in the lab) tests. The best sunscreen is still the one we actually use. 🥰

Yass Also reapplication is key and other forms of sun protection ( clothing, shade, staying indoors , avoiding the sun)

Oooh, thanks for the chart! i’m gonna look at it later. I think the spf issues are disappointing, but I hope brands can fix everything and learn from it. However, even if a brand claims their product to have an spf of 50 when it’s really spf 30... 30 is still better than wearing nothing I guess. I don’t personally feel unsafe using any of mine right now because of that lol

Hi, looking at the chart, I see Nivea and Biore Aqua live up to its claim despite being a drugstore sunscreen. I personally prefer mineral sunscreen over chemical, but it still worth to try🥰
