Hello
I started using the neutrogena sunblock spf 55 and a few days later while applying it to my face I have this burning sensation all over my face. And my face just had this sudden reaction I can't explain it, I don't know why. Every body started telling me it looks like I have scratching my face, then I stopped it. My face is back to normal but I don't know what to do.. should I start again.. is it because I am applying it harshly... is there any instruction of what to do or how to use it please I would appreciate a reply because I am burning up

I'm guessing you are having an allergic reaction to it. Don't use it anymore, go see your doctor and take it with you. :(

You could be allergic to one or more of the ingredients in it like a sulfate or benzoic acid
Maybe try another brand and see what happens. I have been hearing a lot about sunblocks do not actually block the more harmful cancerous rays but only the ones that cause sunburn.

Weird! I have the same thing happen with the Neutrogena brand, but not with others. I think I must be allergic to something in it.

Some sunscreens can irritate people's skin which can cause burning, stinging or a rash. If the sunscreen you're using stings your skin, I advise you to stop using it. This reaction will go away and your skin will return to normal. I recommend using a hypoallergenic sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 or higher. Make sure that you test the sunscreen on a small are of your skin to ensure that it doesn't irritate your skin.

The higher SPF Number is the best one. Because there is no 100% protection by any SPF number or just understand SPF30 = UV 97% protection, SPF 50= UV 98% protection and the SPF 100=99% protection so the SPF number increasing is not mean to double protection and also there is no side effect.

The higher SPF Number is the best for the UV radiation as a sunblock . Because there is no 100% protection by any SPF number or just understand
SPF30 = UV 97% protection, SPF 50= UV 98% protection and the SPF 100=99% protection so the SPF number increasing is not mean to double
protection but the little bit more protection and also there is no side effect.
