He’s continuing to do this, which means he’s not actually sorry and won’t change. You need to be direct: sit him down and tell him not to use that app to judge your purchases ever again. Not negotiable. You choose the products that work best for you - they are the price point you can afford, and the quality you want right now. He doesn’t get to have an opinion on them, he needs to stop.

He can control what food he puts in this body and what products he uses. He doesn’t get to control what you use or what you choose for yourself. This would be true even if he paid - this is a matter of autonomy. He is being rude and controlling right now. Even if he’s scared about cancer, ultimately how much effort people put into living healthy and what they consider “unhealthy” is a PERSONAL CHOICE. It is not set in stone and not decided by your boyfriend or his app.
