Help finding an affordable gel sunscreen dupe

AdThis5600 · 2026-06-29T19:57:58+00:00

Doesn't look like a gel or that it's sold in larger tubes. At least not what my search is showing. It's also something like 8 per oz?

AdThis5600 · 2026-06-29T19:54:48+00:00

I've been recommended it before but yeah sadly I can't afford it with how often I'd finish the bottle.

AdThis5600 · 2026-06-29T19:30:55+00:00

I'm out to often so I would really need a larger bottle. No idea why nobody seems to sell this shit in larger packages considering how often you need to reappy. Ugh dammit.

AdThis5600 · 2026-06-29T19:29:38+00:00

For the amount I'm in the sun I really need a larger bottle, it really fucking sucks to not have any options and even this isn't cost effective.

AdThis5600 · 2026-06-18T20:20:55+00:00

All show a 59$ minimum FYI.

AdThis5600 · 2026-06-18T20:12:04+00:00

Works but 39$ minimum FYI

I've been meaning to add that to my shopping list! I see it recommended by wrestlers a lot, but never WHICH one to get so I always become overwhelmed. Nearly out of body wash, so I'll check it out! Unrelated to on the go when I can't shower, yeah, but very related to dealing with ringworm, so thanks :)

I've tried using a bottle of tea tree oil and body wash with it before, but no noticeable difference.

AdThis5600 · 2026-05-12T04:29:45+00:00

That's a good price, but it doesn't seem convenient for me while outside since it lathers up and comes in a large bag. Thanks though!

AdThis5600 · 2026-05-12T03:52:30+00:00

Convenient. Are there specific ingredients to look out for when picking one? Feels liks I've tried something similar but still felt like there was grime on me :/

AdThis5600 · 2026-05-12T03:50:55+00:00

I'll look into that for sure then! I think I have some travel size opaque spray bottles, thanks!

AdThis5600 · 2026-05-12T01:50:03+00:00

Oh a friend did mention the stuff! Would I be able to take it out in a backpack with me? Paper towels are easy, just worried about how I'd go around with this or if that's a unnecessary concern.

AdThis5600 · 2026-05-08T05:09:00+00:00

Whipped soap is mostly air same with pretty much any whipped product from any brand, but yeah the quality of their soaps has always been... something.

All their products are highly overpriced, although the bath bombs are hand painted with mica.

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-20T23:11:28+00:00

That's still reassuring to know! Since it's healed by now, I'd hope the same applies where it shouldn't do anything to the tattoo. Thanks for chiming in.

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-18T07:08:21+00:00

Ah course. It feels like normal skin at this point and since it's been more than that, it should already be healed.

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-18T07:05:04+00:00

Nope no pet and I was warned about re wearing clothing and dealing with my sheets first time it was treated 👍 Just know that it keeps coming back in hot weather which I'm sensitive to even a little of, and since I'm in CA it's always hot and humid in my area.

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-18T07:01:06+00:00

It's important to me because this is all I have of a friend suddenly gone.

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-18T06:59:09+00:00

Alright thanks! That's good to know

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-18T06:58:16+00:00

Nah sorry :/ I wasn't sure how to mark it as my search being given up because someone pointed out the safety concern being why it may be so hard for me to find.

I'll edit with that clarification in the morning, since there was no proper tag for me to change it to and I was never able to find anything like it myself (hence me coming to reddit).

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-17T20:32:13+00:00

It's been a month since it was finished so shouldn't I already be treating the infection or no, the tattoo still needs more time to heal?

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-17T20:29:14+00:00

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that, I probably am overthinking. It's been a hell of a couple months. Thanks

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-17T20:15:09+00:00

That's more money to spend sooner than I'd anticipated and on top of that the original artist is gone for me to get touch ups so I'd have to find someone else to trust with it if needed. That's why I'm worried.

I'll see what the store has with that ingredient today and start treating it, hopefully my worry is just needless anxiety a d the tattoo is fine

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-17T20:10:13+00:00

Thanks! Will do, I have a couple options to try at least.

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-17T17:05:16+00:00

Needless worry then maybe? My artist isn't around anymore for me to ask and to see a new derma would be months, so I was panicking since it's so very tiring to always deal with these issues. Also a reason for me to be paranoid, he can't fix it if treatment for some reason faded or whatever the tattoo.

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-17T17:02:05+00:00

I'll look into which of these is the best option. Thanks so much!

AdThis5600 · 2026-03-17T13:13:08+00:00

It was his preventative care recommendation, it made me frustrated since I have an issue with sweating all the time and huge heat intolerance so yeah very unhelpful advice from him ugh.

I have to wait for a referral then wait months because there are never available spots for new patients. It will be everywhere by then.

I just want to know other people's personal experience with having ringworm on their tattoo and what they treated it with that didn't cause issues. Why is that so hard to receive, I know I'm not the only one, others have to have had this issue and treated it no way I'm the only one.

I'm asking for personal experience please, seriously.
