What's the worst SPF you've ever tried?

There are a lot of discussions about what our holy grails are, and they're great to find new products. However, I don't think I've ever come across ones with the worst product recommendations people have used (and/or trashed). This would be useful so that we can all avoid the nasty ones. So fellow Picky users, let us discuss our anti holy grails! Let's stick to SPFs for now as they're the foundation to any skincare routine. My anti holy grail SPF is the NUXE facial sunscreen. This literally burned my eyes off, gave me the whitest white cast, had the most disgusting smell and the texture was a mix between super glue and tar. Basically, anything that could go wrong with an SPF was wrong with this SPF. Anyways would love to hear everyone else's anti holy grails. What's your worst SPF and why?

My worst so far has been Neutrogena SPF 70 ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ It did a great job protecting but it transferred on everything easily. I left streaks everywhere. And the sunscreen would sit in creases and wrinkles really bad. I only used it for my arms. I'm glad I never tried it on my face ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ป

The neutrogena sensitive skin liquid mineral sunscreen is the worst one Iโ€™ve tried. The white cast was pretty severe but the worst part of this sunscreen was the texture. It was so gritty that it felt like I was rubbing sand on my face.
