I use sunscreen daily and never had burns while using it. In my opinion, the pros of using it weighs more than its cons. And if you're concerned whether you're getting enough UV rays, you can use one with a lower SPF. I recommend SPF with minimum 30 to max 50 (more than 50 is just a marketing tactic). Or you can try both chemical and physical sunscreens, and see which is better for your skin. I think what's more important is to find the right sunscreen for your skin and apply it correctly to avoid burns.

Makes me wonder why these burns happened in the first place. Think it was incorrect use?
I believe so. Sunscreens must be applied 30 minutes before going out and must be reapplied every 1-2 hours. I saw a japanese video in the past (couldn't find it now because it is not on youtube) where they show how to correctly apply sunscreen. According to that video, it shouldn't be rubbed into your skin but just pat it to spread it evenly.
