I need sunscreen and started searching and ended up down this massive rabbit hole. The people at r/skincareaddiction have so much info -- (edited)

and word over there is that apparently most of the US made stuff is weak garbage compared to what they use in Europe and Asia. :-)
The best sunscreen comes from Korea and Japan but aren't allowed to be sold here because of ingredients the FDA hasn't approved. US sunscreen protection hasn't changed in decades while things get hotter and skin cancer rates climb. See what I'm saying, rabbit hole.

Anyway, I've read so much from so many sites and still can't decide what sunscreen to get but I'm going to be getting me some of that sweet stuff from overseas.

You 100% want the Biore grey market stuff from Japan. It works and feels no worse than water on your face. -- (edited) - spamlet Apr 18, 18:44 1
- Thanks! A couple of years ago I got something similar from Korea. I had to get it through a third party seller on eBay. I'll give this a look. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 05:15
If you did I'd be willing to go in on to split shipping and cost. The chemical stuff either leave with a burning feeling or makes me nauseous. -- nm* - . Apr 18, 18:20 1
- That works for me. I'm still doing the research but I'm leaning towards a physical sunscreen. I'm going to check out the one Spamlet posted about - Krusty Apr 19, 05:16
Clearly, you need to go to Japan and smuggle some in. -- nm - Spawn Apr 18, 17:04 1
