Cons:

My 14 year old daughter used this when we got to the beach. Within 24 hours her face was red, flaky, swollen and I had to take her to the ER. She was diagnosed with contact dermatitis. I definitely would not recommend this product for anyone, but especially those that have somewhat sensitive skin. She can use Aveeno sunscreen without an issue; so I don't think her skin is extremely sensitive!

Bad product...ruined her vacation!

Pros:

The scent smells nice, and the sunblock doesn't feel oily.

Cons:

I applied the sunblock on my arms (SPF 30), and a rash broke out the next day.

I am really surprised that I developed a rash, and it's still irritating me. I have normal/combination skin, and I have never developed an allergic reaction to any skin products that I have used, until I used this sunblock. I currently use another Neutrogena product for acne wash, and that works fine for me. I see that other users have developed similar reactions to the product, so I wonder if there is something peculiar about the sunblock.

Pros:

It sprays on easily and feels cool. Inexpensive at Costco.

Cons:

In Arizona in March I broke out into a major rash on arms and legs; dried skin, patchy bumps, itchy,flaking skin for almost two weeks. Used it again in Seattle a few days ago and same thing happened. Dentist asked me if I was allergic?

I just came back from my dentist. I have tooth pain, severe over the weekend, and X-rays showed teeth in perfect condition. Dentist asked: "Have you used any new products that could be causing an allergic reaction? Why, yes, Neutrogena SPF 45!! Not certain that is the cause but my arms are now flaking like in Arizona. I have no allergies, period. It certainly could be Neutorgena. Will never use again.

Cons:

Terrible skin rash, red & painful. Scabbing to skin.

I used this on my 3 children and they all developed horrible rashes on their skin. I thought at first it was chemical from our swimming pool but after more research and experimenting, we found this sunscreen to be the culprit. I will NEVER use this product again and just hope I can get their rashes under control. My poor little kidlets- it breaks my heart to see this :(

Pros:

didn't burn!! :)

Cons:

Broke out after two days of use on vacation...now sitting in condo taking benadryl orally and applying it topically.

DO NOT BUY THIS STUFF!!!! I am broken out worse than I ever did in high school...ONLY on the areas I put the neutrogena 45(face and neck). Used a different sunscreen on the rest of my body. I am NOT one to have allergic reactions of any kind.

Cons:

I used this product on my face, hands and forearms. After about 4 days, I developed a serious reaction on my arms in the form of a rash of red raised bumps like small pimples. They've started drying, with tiny scabs. Hoping for no scarring.

not recommeded for sensitive skin or persons generally given to allergic reactions.

Emergency use only
Developed 3 extremely small whiteheads after 5 day use. Also it may or may not have caused an open blackhead to become an infected skin area. People will ask why you look shiny.

goes on easily

Cons:

caused red, itchy rash with swelling right under my eyes

I wouldn't use, there must be something in it that is an irritant.

DO NOT USE THIS SUN SCREEN
After 3 days of using this product, I though I had a case of poison ivy!!! Looks similar to poison ivy without the oozing blisters. Fortunately I only used it on my legs as it itched and dried out my skin leaving small itchy scabs after I stopped using it. Taking over 3 weeks to heal. I would have never guessed this product was causing such a bad rash and itching and I am usually not allergic to much of anything. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!
