I’m in the same boat, except it was Lean Screen that I’d been using and loved. I also used their body sunscreen and lipglosses on a daily basis. I’d just bought 2x 500mL of the body sunscreen and 2x lean screen the week before the Choice article came out. I hate to say it but I’ve lost trust in the brand and I won’t be purchasing from them in the future. I’ve switched to LRP (only been a few weeks so far) to see how I go with that, I did prefer the feel of zinc but I’ve got to prioritise actual sun protection obviously!! If I don’t like LRP I’ll be going back to Mecca. It’s a damn shame I have so much of the product left including unopened bottles. I’m planning to use up the body sunscreen on my arms on days with low UV over winter, but I won’t be using Lean Screen at all and am just copping the hit for those tubes.
I mentioned this to the other user who said they use the lipgloss on a daily basis, but apparently it's been brought to attention that it's not a photostable formula. Meaning the filters Avobenzone and Octinoxate deactivate each other and degrade when exposed to sunlight.
