The single most consequential product decision our patients make is which sunscreen ends up in their daily routine and stays there. It almost never comes down to SPF. It comes down to whether the texture is one they are willing to wear at 7am for ten years.
We stock six formulations. Two are mineral, four are hybrid. None of them are the high-coverage tinted formulas that look best on a swatch — we have learned that those quietly stop being applied around month three.
Bring in what you have. We will tell you honestly whether it is one to keep.
