I need 2 kind of simple cheap creams:

1) sunscreen

2) for face

from 7-11. I can't figure out which one to buy because I don't understand thai and seller-men normally don't understand English, so I can't explain that to them.

What do you recommend?

Would depend on how much protection you want and they all should have SPF numbers to indicate relative amount. I buy Sun Care from Boots which is an SPF 60 cream as have skin cancer issues and doctor wants me to use not less than SPF 50. Suspect most use 30 or less.

I would recommend that you wont find cheap sun cream anywhere in Thailand. They normally have a white nivea with yellow top (from memory) which should say factor XX on the front in English. Fairly clear when I have bought from 7/11. Normally on the end of the aisle near the checkout with the other overly expensive cosmetics.

Now it's a bit clear about the sun cream. What about the cream for face? I never used it before.
