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:

Light and non-greasy, and I didn't mind the fragrance.

Cons:

Made me break out badly - not just clogged pores, but big red pimples. It was also a bit tough to spread because of the non-greasy/ultra-dry consistency (though that can't really be helped.)

I wanted to like this product, but I don't. Back to the search for a sunscreen that won't make me break out. People seem to have success with this product. It's a shame I'm not one of them.

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.

Pros:

sorta affordable

Smells horrible to me. So bad I would not use it again. Felt it on my skin for hours afterward.

Definitely not going to be a staple in my household.

Pros:

non greasy FEEL, dry touch

Cons:

it doesn't say it's oil free. i read the front and back countless times and it just says wont leave a greasy feel but it does have oil. i would squirt it out and some nasty oil would come out first and it causes clogged pores

i live in vietnam and it's hot here and when i sweat i see the beads of the sunblock seeping out. which is so not good. and my freind who used it got two major zits two days after using it

Pros:

spf

Cons:

thick formula

Though it is oil free, that doesn't necessarily mean that it won't clog your pores. I think the formula is quite thick and this can aid in the formation of whiteheads. Though I do agree that it does tend to cover up some of your past acne spots.
