Cons:

I developed al allergic reaction to the Ultra Sheet Dry-Touch SunBlock 85 after 6 months of use. I broke out with a painful rash below my eyes and on my cheeks. I had to discontinue for a week for my face to heal.

After discontinuing for 1 week, and using only hydrocortizone for the itch, my face cleared up. I applied sunblock again to rule out which product was causing my rash. Sure enough, the rash started right away. I will not use Neutrogena again... too painful!!!

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.

Pros:

Works, affordable, widely available

Cons:

Poor product development

I am a cosmetic formulator, so I know exactly what is wrong with the formulation after using it. If the tube is left in the sun or exposed to cold temperatures, you will find a layer of clear oil at the top of the tube. This is phase separation can be greatly delayed with proper formulation development. If this happens to you, shake the bottle vigorously until no clear material is dispensed. It stays on an works well to protect my skin from the sun. I have seen a marked decrease in melanin coloration on my skin (light brown patches under the skin) over the last few weeks. I have used this product for a few weeks in varying environments (I travel a lot for work) and it has held up relatively well. The scent is not offensive, but the taste is distinctly that of UV absorbers. Can be bought at Walmart.

Cons:

Causes allergic reaction.

I have used many sun screen products over many years and without any problem whatsoever. The Neutrogena range has caused severe allergic reaction. My daughter in law too has had the same experience which is very perturbing.

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.

Pros:

-Protects against UVA rays for aging skin.
-Protects against UVB rays for burning.
-Waterproof, Sweatproof
-Doesnt clog pores
-Oil Free
-Light weight, dry touch.
- PABA Free
-Avobenzone 3%

Cons:

That it takes 15 - 30 minutes to dry.
but SPF 70 is better.

I use this product when i'm out in the sun and for a daily moisturizer. It helps with my acne. Maybe everyone who is talking about the red rash is because they are allergic to something in the product.

Still use the product?

Pros:

Sun protection but with personal risks

Cons:

After wearing, my skin became quite irritated and red coupled with numerous small 'pimple' like formations where the sunscreen was applied
Created a leathery,dry appearance to
normally well hydrated skin

For me, use of this sunsceen in the future is not worth the ripple effects. I'm now 3 days out from the initial onset of the reaction and have had to forgo much of my lotion regime in order to allow my 'angry' skin to subside. It's just now showing signs that it's settling down.

Pros:

goes on easily, not greasy

Cons:

weird bumps all over my legs and arms

this product went on very easily on my face and body and kept my face from burning. The weird thing is I broke out like crazy all over the rest of my body! I did not use it for a week thinking perhaps it was something else since my face was fine. After several hours I got the same rash and rough skin all over my legs. It is so bad it I can't wear shorts. Also I did not break out on parts of my body that I had applied when it is covered by clothing. I can't make sense of it.
