Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi SCA! Longtime lurker, first time poster. I have been using the Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid sunscreen from La Roche Posay for a few months. My current tube says it expires in 8/2018. It's also from prior to the reformulation of this product - the actives in it are Titanium Dioxide 6%, Zinc Oxide 5% as opposed to the current formula's actives of Titanium Dioxide 11%.I've had my tube for less than 5 months (I rotate a few different sunscreens) and noticed a drastic change in texture after not using it for a few weeks. It was once very fluid and smooth feeling; now it feels like liquid sand because it seems like a ton of small hard granules have formed in the liquid. When I put it on my skin it feels like I am rubbing liquid sandpaper on my skin. The granules don't seem to melt into my skin; they just sort of flake away (I can see them remaining on the surface of my skin after the liquid portion has been absorbed).Has this happened to anyone before? Does this mean that my entire bottle of sunscreen is compromise? I vaguely recall reading that the formation of these granules means that some of the actives have crystallized and the sunscreen is no longer effective because of this.Thank you so much for reading, and I'd very much appreciate you sharing your knowledge/experiences with me!
