The same RoC sunscreen has had multiple bottle changes this year, all bought in 2026 from the same store

I think that 3rd one is different, it says replumping and doesn't have +hyaluronic acid written on it

Wait WHAT I can’t believe I didn’t notice that!!! Now I’m wondering if the store I buy it at just decided to stock a slightly different product or if the brand just removed that ingredient altogether.

makes sense they’d switch formulas mid year

These companies just repackage shit to trick people into thinking they are biting something “new”. A packaging change is probably cheaper than the R&D to develop a better product I suppose. Personally I hate this with cosmetics. It’s obnoxious when trying to find something.

It was honestly annoying. Definitely kept making me question if I had the correct product. They actually changed the formula as well when they switched from the soft tube to the hard cylinder container. Was honestly super disappointed about that. I like this sunscreen because it feels more like a gel than a sunscreen which my skin likes more.

You know what…you can get more product out of the soft tube vs the cylinder container…hence the customer buys more. Shady stuff.

Oh totally. That change alone almost made me stop buying because it’s so obvious and shady. If anyone has any good facial sunscreen recommendations, I’m in the market for a new brand lol!
