This is too white for the face, in my opinion. It also was very drying - the type of sunscreen that seems to suck a layer of moisture out of the face. It made me peel massively from the dryness....

I"m so let down by this new re-formulated version. This was once my favorite zinc sunscreen because other than the superior protection it provided, it left no white cast, dried fast and left a...

Up until the 2014 reformulation, BurnOut Clean and Clear was my absolute HG sunscreen, and had been for several years. Sadly, the reformulation is absolutely terrible. It will not blend into...

This is a review of the reformulated Clean & Clear sunscreen. Previously (before they changed it) this was my absolutely favorite mineral/physical sunscreen. It was perfect for my melasma,...

No idea why the skincare board loves this sunscreen. Burnout is a thick, slightly oily feeling paste. My kids hate it when I rub it into their faces, and my son got a mild burn even with it on....

I loved this sunscreen and wore it everyday but I had to return my most recent bottle because the reformulation is disgusting. I'm so disappointed. The old version went on matte and my makeup...

Once upon a time I would have gladly given this product 5 stars - 6 if the system would allow it - but not anymore. I HATE the new formula. I hate it in every single way possible. The...

If I had reviewed this a couple of months ago, I would have given it 5, er, lipsticks, and a glowing review. But with the most recent reformulation, they have completely ruined this...

I really like this sunscreen and I've tried a lot; clean ones and not-so-clean ones. The ingredients list is pretty good. I buy mines at an organic market. It's very affordable, but the packaging...

Like so many others, I am on a never ending quest to find my HG physical facial sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. I tend to like Elta's products best so far (if I am gonna go higher end) but I...

Used by itself, this product is not cosmetically elegant- very drying and yet sticky at the same time. Hard to wear everyday unless you also want to wear a lot of other products underneath like a...

Update 2015: Stopped using this after switching to Paula's Choice's physical Resist Super-Light SPF 30. The tacky finish became too bothersome for me, but I sometimes use it on my body. A good...

This is the best sunscreen I've used. It seems to have a mattifying effect on me - yay! - whereas most sunscreens worsen my oily parts. It's true that it's a bit "tacky", but I'm not putting it on...
