Ask Ullim, answered this week

“Is the cheaper Amazon listing of my sunscreen the real thing?”

Sometimes — but the listing matters more than the price. If the seller isn't the brand or a seller the brand has confirmed, the batch may have taken an unknown route or been heat-damaged in transit. I only rank sellers we've checked and dated, and I'll show you those prices first even when a marketplace looks cheaper.
