TikToker Reveals Lab Test of SPF Content in Various Sunscreens, the Results are Shocking!

Dream - The content and claims stated on the packaging of cosmetic products serve as a guide when choosing products according to needs. Each product provides different effects, so the claims and effects may not be the same for everyone.

Although the effects may vary, at least the content in cosmetic products should match the label on the packaging. Unfortunately, not all products state claims that match their content.

This was revealed by the TikTok account @cicikoko_review, which often reviews various skincare products. The account owner conducted laboratory tests on the SPF content of various local and international sunscreen brands sold on the market.

Sunscreen with Significantly Lower SPF

In the beginning of the video, the account owner showed the laboratory test results with the brand and manufacturer names covered with a marker. The account owner only displayed the SPF claims on the packaging and the test results.
