Love new formula!
I was so suprised to see some negative reviews on here-I’m absolutely loving it! It’s perfect for underneath makeup. Hope you have larger tubes soon.

Nothing Non-Greasy About This
I loved the old formula but, yes, if you used too much it could leave a white cast (because… zinc), so I was ready to embrace this new formula. Unfortunately, as other reviewers have stated, this does not work well with skincare (all Biossance for me) or makeup (it pills horribly), it's very greasy, feels heavy, it often irritates my skin (making it a little puffy and itchy in heat), and it takes so much to get real protection that I often burn through it. I would give a lot for the old formula to be offered as an option.

I miss the old formula :(
This new formula is much thicker and feels greasier. It pills on my skin when I apply it and just doesn't seem to play nice with my moisturizer (also biossance). Very sad! Seems to do the job though, and at least it's not breaking me out.

It used to be perfect
This sunscreen was absolutely perfect. It left no white cast, it made the skin dewy and protected very well against the sun. However, the new formula is not it. It’s very thick and greasy and make my makeup crease which never happened. Worst of all, it broke me out like crazy. I haven’t had any pimple for months until I started using it. I am now left with many bumps around my mouth and 3 big pimples on my cheeks. Plus, I find it to sting the eyes whereas the previous formula didn’t. So disappointing.

They've ruined this sunscreen :(
The old one was sooooo good. This one is tacky and thick, not dewy and light like the old formula. Such a bummer!

Bring the old formula back
I used to love this sunscreen. It went on amazingly, didn’t leave any white tint, and left my skin glowy. This new formula is so thick that it pills on my skin and doesn’t rub nicely as it had before. It also leaves my skin looking matte instead of glowy. Would not recommend it all

My go to!!
I have loved this sunscreen for a long time - truly the best clean-ingredient zinc sunscreen that is actually transparent & does not leave a whiteish layer on my skin. (Great for tattoo coverage) I LOVE the new formula - my skin runs oily so this new matte texture feels great. Please make in larger tube sizes, I plan to use a lot of this product this summer!!

No white cast!
I was surprised at how sheer this sunscreen is. It goes on smooth and does have that bit of a matte feel to it, but it doesn't feel dry. It's sunscreen after all anyway! I have tried other zinc sunscreens that make me look like a ghost, but this one is really nice. I have not tried it with makeup yet, but others have said it works well.

Drying my skin out and white cast
I wish I loved this sunscreen-- I loved the old sunscreen. But after using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say that it's not for me. It goes on greasy (not glowy) and after a little bit of time dries super matte (which I don't like) and also dries out my skin. I used to have super hydrated skin all day, and now my skin has dry peel-y patches. This product is the only thing that has changed and I can feel it drying out. And now that I have dry patches, the sunscreen leaves behind white chalky residue. I am a longtime biossance lover and use almost all of their products. But this formula just isn't it, and isn't hydrating.

It’s okay
I like this spf, but it’s not my favorite on the market. It didn’t leave too much whitecast, but I’m super fair to begin with. It feels a little heavy/sticky for my preference. I could use it, but I have others I like better. It did not cause breakouts or have a bad smell which was nice.
