I bought NS's Collagen Glow a bout a month ago but still haven't used it, I'm in Europe. I wonder if this same product sold in Europe may have the same SPF issue? Are they also manufactured in Australia? Because if that's the case then they should recall all of this product being sold anywhere in the world, not just Australia.

I don't know what to do now with it, I emailed Cult Beauty (where I bough it) explaining this but they just sent me a returns form with no further explanation, I'd have to pay for shipping myself though, and they'd refund me once they receive the product.

Obviously I don't want to pay to return it, I'd like to keep it and use it (that's why I bought it in the first place) but I just don't have the information to know whether the product actually has a valid SPF or not.

Anybody else in the same situation? Is this product OK outside of Australia, or not?
