Us has 16 of uv filters aproved, whereas EU has 30+. Last UV filter aproved by FDA was in 1999. So us had old sun screens
Comment on Why can't I apply SPF50 sunscreen twice to get SPF100 protection?

Don’t buy American sun screen. It’s always cakey and flakey. Go import some Korean sunscreen. It’s basically feels like you have nothing on and gives you better protection.

There are plenty of great brands of American sunscreen. Just don’t buy the super cheap shit. Which is generally good advice in any country. Some brands that come to mind are Kiehl’s, First Aid Beauty, and EltaMD. To be clear, I love me some Korean skincare, and I think it’s superior to American. I just don’t agree with your premise that all American sunscreen is “cakey and flakey.”

I just looked it up and America will soon get the good sunscreens. Bemotrizinol has just been FDA approved.
Until then, I am sticking with American has some bad sunscreens. Until I guess this month.

Neutrogena works great and feels great. That’s why it’s more expensive.
