1.0 out of 5 stars Best Sunscreen NO MORE November 15, 2012

By Borito

Size Name:1.70 oz

I had been using this product for at least a year and half, and I LOVED it. Such wonderful texture and such great protection with few and natural ingredients -- it was my oily, break-out prone and sensitive skin's answered prayer. Back in August, however, I was devastated to discover that my brand new tube (and the body formula) suddenly produced this white, thick pasty crap that would eventually get flaky and roll off my skin. My attempt to get answers resulted in another disappointment, this time with DeVita's level of customer service:

When I noticed the difference in the products, I wrote to the company. The person in charge of customer relations, Barbara, was initially helpful; she told me they no longer used the same zinc supplier and asked me to send her the lot numbers of the products I bought. She even offered to send replacement tubes from a "newer" and supposedly better batch.

Well, when I received my "replacement" products, the body creams had popped open at the tube's crimped edge and the face sunscreen had the exact same lot numbers of the ones I had purchased originally. So I basically got two more of the same thing. When I told her about it, she said that the "invoice" showed the numbers were different and only offered to replace the damaged body cream. So she essentially implied I could be lying about receiving the exact same stuff, which I found offensive. I have no reason or desire to swindle a company for free sunscreen (or anything else). I had been buying their products for a very long time with my hard-earned money and had they not destroyed their best items, I'd still be spending my money on them....

So, in a nutshell, my favorite product is now just another generic cream with inferior ingredients, and the company who makes it is represented by a person who accuses a loyal customer of lying.

Good riddance, Devita! Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars a godsend for sensitive skin January 10, 2007

By nic

Size Name:1.70 oz|Amazon Verified Purchase

one of the hardest products for me to use is sunscreen, which isn't great because I have extremely pale skin. my skin is very sensitive to silicones, mineral oil, and chemical sunscreen (even euro brands). physical blocks have their own set of problems; most are greasy and/or have a white cast and a gritty feel. This stuff is great though. the ingredients are all natural, and it uses a very good form of micronized zinc so there is no white cast or gritty feel. however, this is not a moisturizer per se. I suppose if you have oily skin you could use this as a moisturizer, but barring that you will need to layer it over a moisturizer. This is a sunscreen only for me. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since I started wearing this every, and for once it's nice to be able to go outside for 10 minutes without getting burned! this is also a great base for mineral makeup. I'm getting ready to purchase my second jar of this and just couldn't be happier.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very soothing sunscreen December 8, 2007

By Shygirl84

Size Name:1.70 oz

This is the first sunscreen that did not cause me to break out. It is the first natural sunscreen that did not leave my face pasty white. It feels very soothing when you put it on, leaving your skin soft and smooth. I have been using it for about a month and have not broken out once. Very good product.

1.0 out of 5 stars They changed the product :( April 10, 2013

By Leota

Size Name:1.70 oz|Amazon Verified Purchase

Ok, this was my Holy Grail sunscreen: a mineral sunscreen, non-nanofied, no silicone, no Shea butter, absorbed like magic, no whitish cast. And NEVER broke me out. It used to be great.

It's true - Their zinc supplier has changed and the product is not the same. Last year, my review would have been 5 stars. But this new product pales in comparison. And by pale I mean I now look like a ghost! Oh Devita, why have you forsaken me???

If you get a tube with a lot number higher than 130501, you have the newest batch per Devita. I just tried it a few days ago. It's not good, it doesn't absorb like it used to. The texture feels thicker, a little dry. I rubbed it in and before I even looked at my face, I was shocked at how white my fingertips were. Caked in white zinc. My face had the telltale white zinc cast as well. So bottom line, it doesn't apply the same, feels thick, doesn't absorb like it used to, and leaves me pastier than I already am.

I truly pray that they figure out how to get this formula back to normal. Or find a different zinc supplier. Because I'm at a loss. I'm scouring the web trying to find something natural to replace this with. And I'm not having much luck. So, so bummed. Everything breaks me out, my skin is sensitive to silicone and unfortunately, Shea butter as well. Any suggestions would be happily accepted.

1.0 out of 5 stars Used to be amazing... now one of the worst November 9, 2012

By A. Foreman

Size Name:1.70 oz

This was my go-to, wouldn't-even-think-about-looking-at-something-else moisturizer for over two years. It was light and refreshing feeling, always looked fresh, never ever broke me out, never whitened me, kept my skin nicely moisturized, and never let me get sunburned. It also smelled amazing.

A week ago, my old tube ran out and I made my pilgrimage to Whole Foods to pick up some more. The next day, I squeezed it out of the tube and... it was different. I checked the label to make sure I'd actually picked up the right product. Yep. So I put it on like usual. Except it didn't spread like usual and I had little white flakes all over my hands. I looked at my face in the mirror and I could see the zinc caught in my eyebrows and little flakes of it everywhere, not to mention a very faint white pallor. I cleaned up the excess, and went about my day. I got sweaty and... it started feeling grainy. Sooo not a pleasant feeling.

Apparently, the zinc itself changed. Some reviews say to cut it with a different moisturizer to aid absorption, but that defeats the whole purpose. I'm as devastated as one can be about a facial moisturizer (probably a little more than is healthy), and I can't seem to find anything that really replaces it. In the meantime, I feel like I'm waiting for my face to break out with this new moisturizer that makes my skin look funny.

DeVita! Find new zinc! Or go back to the old stuff. As it stands, you've lost an incredibly loyal customer.
