tst123New S.C. law lets students bring sunscreen to school without a doctor’s note
gabe [he/him]Unfortunately, a big reason for this is that not only is sunscreen not usually used daily outside of going to the pool or the beach by most Americans, **sunscreen is regulated and classified as an over the counter drug **and schools legally have to treat them the same way unless a specification is made like it is in this case.
Also, A lot of younger Americans are slowly but surely adopting daily sunscreen especially because it’s trendy on tiktok. American sunscreen sucks and hasn’t had a new sunscreen chemical approved for market use in nearly 30 years due the drug regulations. America’s suncreens are quite literally worse than most other countries sunscreens which is a big factor why people don’t use them daily.
NeuromancerWhy do you think it sucks?
I rarely wear it. I find it greasy and sticky. I rarely ever wear sun screen
The Neutrogena ultra mist spray is really good. It goes on clear, isn’t greasy and the high SPF ones work exceptionally well. I’ve bought it in the US at a CVS before and didn’t have to get it over the counter…but maybe that’s only a thing in some states?
Over the counter doesn’t actually always refer literally to over the counter. I’d consider a non prescribed medical item purchased from a cvs as over the counter, even if you don’t have to ask a pharmacist for it
I find it ironic that you mentioned cvs for your example.
A surf store, or a clothing store works be better examples.
OTC is weird term. It means over the counter but there is no counter anymore. It just means you don’t need a prescription
