What the gurus are saying

Most gurus praise Neutrogena sunscreens for their cosmetic elegance, matte finish, and effectiveness at preventing sun damage and hyperpigmentation. However, a significant concern emerged regarding benzene contamination detected in some Neutrogena sunscreen batches, which prompted skepticism about the brand's quality control and transparency. The community split hinges on whether this safety issue outweighs the product's cosmetic appeal.

"The Neutrogena sunscreens do not have niacinamide. This is a sunscreen and it is water resistant 80 minutes. This wins on so many levels and it looks really nice on the skin has a nice demi matte finish."

"This is one by Neutrogena that I recently found at CVS that I bought. Any sunscreen that you like you should use because when you're protecting your skin and you're minimizing those active breakouts from getting darker you're also protecting yourself in the future from developing hyperpigmentation from your acne marks."

"Visher was also the one that tested the sunscreens from Neutrogena Johnson and Johnson and found the Benzene in there. Brands that made me really question all of this, obviously first off Neutrogena Johnson and Johnson, Banana Boat, all of the sunscreens that they found Benzene in. I believe on a CVS shelf of 200 different sunscreens, Benzene was tested and found in 78 of them, which ended up being around 30% of the sunscreens contain some amount of benzene which was not disclosed."
