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 "I used this sunscreen once, and within a couple of hours, one of my eyes became red, swollen, and was burning. Shortly afterwards, everywhere I used it on my skin felt like I had a severe sunburn. I do not recommend this product and wish I had read the reviews before I bought it."

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!"
