About giveaway Avoskin

I'm pretty disappointed that Picky just announced that the Avoskin giveaway has a net volume confusion. Hmm I see this is the fault on Avoskin's part because they spent a lot of time on this campaign, they kept promoting this giveaway but in the end I didn't receive the product as stated on the Avoskin banner

@elizabeth Not sure what you want to say with your example because there is no exchange like products <-> review & pictures. When your sister gives you a ride and wants you to wash her car for the next 4 times, don't you feel disappointed then when you still have to walk to get to the entrance? You can still be grateful that she gave you a ride at all but also feel disappointed because she told you she will drop you off at the entrance. I'm saying her feeling of disappointment is valid because of the false advertisement.

I’m sorry you didn’t get what you expected. I too will feel disappointed if the original amount advertised was not followed. However, I can forgive the brand since they issued an apology and the rest of the products were as described. 5mL sunscreen can last 4 days more or less depending on use and how big the face is. 1/4 or 1/5 tsp or 1 mL a day plus reapplications. I believe that’s enough for “testing” a sunscreen. If it makes you feel better, disclose that you received a 5mL sample. Do people really use 1/4 tsp on reapplication? I don’t. Sunscreen is still there, it doesn’t magically disappear after two hours. Some have been rubbed of, some filters have degraded, but there is still some protection left. I usually use a small amount if it’s reapplication and I’m just indoors. I will use more and reapply more frequently if I’m continually under direct heat of the sun or at the beach.

1 tsp at a time for the whole face? That’s almost 5mL! Doing the math, let’s say with 5 reapplications of half that amount, you use around 18mL a day? You must go through tons of sunscreen bottles. Where did you get the 1tsp recommendation if I may ask? I mean most dermatologists and health organizations recommend 1/4tsp/ 0.04oz for the face alone (1 oz for the whole body). This 1/4 tsp rule is according to the facial surface area of 95th percentile of men. I know everyone’s faces are of different sizes and sunscreens have different consistencies so it’s 1/4 tsp more or less. Always better to apply more than recommended though.
