I used to love this sunscreen because of its gentle formula containing both Tinosorbs. Now I can't wear it anymore due to skin and eye irritation from octocrylene in the 2010 version.

I was a huge fan of the old (2007) version of Very High Protection Cream SPF50+. It had octinoxate and Tinosorb. The new version has octocrylene, avobenzone, as well has a high amount of Titanium Dioxide and Tinosorb. The Titanium Dioxide makes the product too white and streaky, even on my pale skin. It says on the package to use 7 pumps on an adult's face and neck, or you will not get the full SPF. This is not possible unless I want to appear very white and ill looking. I am disappointed in this new formulation. I am sure that it probably DOES work better than the old forumlation, but one has to be able to wear it with confidence, not look like a freak.
