For Prevention of Sunburn "Gave me a rash all over my face. My face was red and itchy for days before it cleared up. The day after using it, I also woke up with swollen eyes. Nothing relieved the swelling, and my eyelids are STILL slightly swollen. And from reading other reviews, it seems like this is a common issue. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!"

For Prevention of Sunburn "With just one application, this lotion made my face sting and caused gross swelling around the eye area, as well as a red rash on my face. I had to go to the dermatologist, who advised that chemical ingredients in the product caused an allergic reaction. My eyes are swollen (now the fourth day). :("

For Prevention of Sunburn "I used Neutrogena Ultra Sheer 70 SPF on Saturday and had a rash starting Sunday morning. By Thursday, my neck was so red, swollen, itching, and burning that I had to go to urgent care. I am now on heavy steroids and cannot be in the sun! The only place I have the rash is where I applied the sunscreen. NEVER AGAIN! This cost me about $125 for drugs and professional care so far."

For Prevention of Sunburn "I also got a terrible, itchy rash a day after using this product. However, first I noticed a swollen spot on one of my cheekbones, and my skin was oozing. It was curious, and I wasn't sure if I hurt myself without realizing it. When the itching started, I realized I was having an allergic reaction. It cleared up after about a week, but my face is still a little red in the spot where the scar developed. I used a Neutrogena face wash many years ago that caused a much worse reaction, so, needless to say, I will be avoiding their products."

For Prevention of Sunburn "Caused a swollen, itchy rash on the areas it was applied, which then spread all over my body. My face was so swollen that my skin was tight and shiny. The itching was unbearable, even with topical steroids. The rash took over a month to fully clear. I would recommend anyone with contact dermatitis to ANYTHING to avoid this like the plague."

For Prevention of Sunburn "This caused a horrible itchy rash that ruined my vacation. We looked forward to this cruise for months. On the first day, we used Ultra Sheer 45 Neutrogena mist and started itching, so took a shower to wash it off. I ended up needing to go to urgent care because Benadryl wasn't strong enough to offset the reaction. Do not recommend it."

For Prevention of Sunburn "I had the same exact reaction as the previous review, can barely see out of one eye, and also my arms have a rash from the elbows down, exactly where I sprayed. Since the last review said the maker just offered a coupon, I took my complaint directly to the Walmart store manager and said this should be pulled from your shelves. He is taking it to corporate."

For Prevention of Sunburn "Used this product for 2 days. The areas on which I applied this have become covered in a bumpy, itchy rash that looks similar to poison ivy. Forearms are most affected."

For Prevention of Sunburn "This made my skin swell with hives and heavy itching wherever I sprayed it. I sprayed it in the morning, and by the evening, I was so itchy and red I couldn’t sleep. Awful!"
