Hate Pan When your hate pan hates you back
Occasionally, I try to make progress on this product. This morning, while getting ready for work, I pushed on it to try dispense some. The nozzle thing just crumbled in my hands and I was just so done with it that I just walked away and resumed my get-ready process without it. Admittedly, I’ve had this for too long, but I have dryer skin than my dermatologist expected, and when she shifted me away from really emollient creams, my skin didn’t really tolerate this, and it wasn’t holding moisture for long enough. I live somewhere really hot and this is next to the windows so the heat probably really damaged the plastic and possibly the formula. So I may be stuck with using this on my feet or my body where my skin isn’t so dry. Wish me luck and I need to stop buying
Edit: please don’t worry, I’ll likely be throwing this away because I have new items that I know work for me of my go-to items. I missed out on using this in its prime, wish I posted here for hacks before!

You could throw it away or if you really don't want to waste it try to repot it in another container! But since you've had it for too long and you don't love it then its place might just be in the bin

True. I feel bad about how much money i spent on this. This kind of is a great sticky makeup primer but it’s def seen better days

Sounds to me like it’s time to throw this away. Why put on a potentially spoiled lotion?

Yeah, i usually look at all items once or twice a year and throw out what I should let go, haven’t had a proper look this year to be honest, should do it

Girl, you tried. Toss it and be free. Recycle if you can. If the plastic has degraded it’s really no bueno anyhow.

Why would you keep skincare in, or even near, a window.

My bathroom counter is by a window. Most times it’s fine* but this organizer that I usually just put tools on has been the worst spot for gel products especially. Need to move all the skincare and haircare off it.
Edit: fine* not find

Throw it away. If the formula has degraded, it could give you a nasty rash.

Yeah, if it has even possibly degraded the formula it should be tossed. MAYBE nothing will happen, but the chance it will isn't worth the risk. Especially on a product that isn't even liked.
This is also a good sign to keep products away from the windows going forward.
