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:

Rubs in well. Not oily/greasy.

Cons:

Caused reaction on skin.

I was happy with this sunscreen until I woke up the next morning itching on my face, neck, shoulders, and back. There were a lot of bumps and it was red.

I just want to add that if you are on acne medication, you could be more sensitive to chemical sunscreens, which might explain why so many reviewers on an acne.org site have reacted compared to other sites! The problem might not be with the sunscreen!

AVOID AT ALL COST.

Cons:

Horrible product. It caused an allergic reaction to all the areas where i applied it. Caused my almost perfect skin to break out once again. Right now, there are rashes, red bumps all over my body and face. Skin is peeling off terribly. ONE ADVICE: AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Cons:

I had a very severe reaction to all areas where I applied the sunscreen. It's been a month and I'm still dealing with the pain and discomfort.
I will definitely be contacting the company.

I suffered a severe burning reaction for over 3 weeks. I applied it to the part line of my scalp, as well as to my nose and forehead. I've been using "Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture SPF15" as my daily facial moisturizer for years, and love it. I was going to be going on vacation and wanted a higher SPF that was non-comodogenic to use on my face, and thought Neutrogena was a name I could trust...BOY WAS I WRONG! The following day, I woke up to a severe burning of the scalp. The pain was soooo unbearable, red and warm to the touch. I also had small bumps on both the tip of my nose and forehead - they're still there. I've never had a reaction to a sunscreen in the past, and have been applying Coppertone Oil Free SPF 30 and 45 to my part line for years...especially on days where I know I will have prolonged sun exposure. I purchased this product at the beginning of July. The LOT number at the top is 2918L. Due to the number of recent posts, I'm thinking a recall may be in

Pros:

Nil

Cons:

Caused a severe allergic reaction on my face and neck. Very expensive relative to other sunscreens.

I applied this sunscreen just to my face and neck. Later that evening I noticed that my face felt 'burnt' and I worried that the sunscreen hadn't provided me the SPF protection it claimed it would. (But I had also been wearing a Tilley wide brimmed sun hat all day so I was confused...) The next day I realized I hadn't 'burnt' my face but that my skin was having a very intense allergic response to this sunscreen. For 7 days my cheeks were red & raw and had patches of brown peeling areas. I tried applying a number of different products for relief; Aloe Vera, mild face cream, cortisone cream - they all just caused my skin to burn & sting. The only thing that provided relief was a cool face cloth. Now, after reading all these reviews I realize I am not alone. I really wish someone would contact Neutrogena and tell them to take this product off the market. DO NOT TAKE THE CHANCE ON THIS PRODUCT! There are many others on the market to try first.

Cons:

Rash (see June 23rd post)

Follow-up on June 23rd's post: My rash lasted over two weeks, and I was getting these enlarged, red goosebumps all over my arms, which looked really scary. My arms still itch from time to time (and even right now, as I'm typing), and it has been over a month since I used the sunblock. My pharmacist recommended that I use Hydrocortisone Cream to deal with the itching and take Benadryl-like medication to deal with the allergic reaction (I think another reviewer used the same meds, so thanks for sharing the info). For the first week, the Hydrocortisone Cream seemed to work, but for some reason, my rash started to get worse, so I stopped applying the cream. I think it was the Benadryl that worked for me in the end. Now, I have little scabs and freckled-scars over my arms from the scratching. I do not recommend using this product at all.

Pros:

None, given the cons.

Cons:

Developed a rash & symptoms similar to those mentioned each time I used this product. The initial rash prompted a call to a doctor, thinking it was a reaction to a medication. This is the first such reaction EVER to a sunscreen.

Something's going on here folks - save your $.

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.
