Neutrogena Sun Rescue After-Sun Medicated Relief Gel — Fragrance-Free 3 oz, 0.45% Camphor Cooling & Itch Relief

Neutrogena Sun Rescue After Sun Medicated Relief Gel is a fragrance-free, camphor-based topical gel that cools and eases pain and itching from sunburn on contact.

When sun exposure leaves skin hot, tight, and irritated, you want immediate cooling and itch control without added scents or heavy ointments. This 3-ounce Neutrogena after-sun medicated gel contains 0.45% camphor, an external analgesic that provides a cooling sensation and reduces the urge to scratch. The lightweight, non-greasy gel spreads easily, absorbs quickly, and can be used for adults and children ages 2 and up as directed.

How does this gel relieve sunburn pain and itching?

The gel leverages camphor, which acts on nerve endings to create a cooling effect that distracts from pain and reduces itching. On contact it delivers immediate sensory relief without leaving a heavy residue, so skin feels calmer and cooler right away. It’s intended for localized application to affected areas up to three or four times daily.

• 0.45% camphor provides topical analgesic cooling
• Fragrance-free formulation minimizes irritation risk
• Lightweight gel texture absorbs quickly
• Suitable for children ages 2+ and adults

When and how should I use the Neutrogena Sun Rescue gel?

Apply the gel to clean, dry skin after sun exposure once you notice redness, heat, or itchiness. Use a thin layer on the affected area and gently rub in; repeat no more than three to four times per day as needed. Avoid applying to deep or puncture wounds, or broken skin, and follow label directions for safe use.

• Apply to affected areas up to 3–4 times daily
• Avoid open wounds and consult a doctor for severe burns
• Keep out of eyes, nose, and mouth; rinse if contact occurs
• Store at room temperature and keep the cap closed

Is this product appropriate for children and sensitive skin?

Yes — the formula is fragrance-free and labeled for use on children age 2 and older, making it a practical option for families dealing with mild to moderate sunburn symptoms. Because it’s free of added scents, it lowers the chance of irritation, but you should patch-test if your child has known sensitivities. For very young children or severe reactions, consult a pediatrician before use.

• Labeled for ages 2 and up
• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk
• Patch-test when in doubt for sensitive skin
• Seek medical advice for blistering or extensive burns

How does this gel fit into after-sun care routine?

Use the Neutrogena Sun Rescue gel as the first-line topical step to cool and calm painful areas after sun exposure. Follow initial cooling with hydration: drink water and apply a gentle moisturizer once the medicated gel has absorbed, or use hydrating products recommended by a dermatologist. The gel is not a sunscreen — continue to protect unaffected skin with broad-spectrum SPF and reapply sun protection as needed.

• Apply gel first for immediate cooling and itch relief
• Follow with gentle moisturizers to restore hydration
• Continue sun protection for unharmed skin with SPF
• Use medical care for severe or spreading burns

Who this is for: This Neutrogena Sun Rescue After Sun Medicated Relief Gel is suited for anyone seeking fast, targeted cooling and anti-itch action after minor sunburns — including parents treating children ages 2 and up, outdoor enthusiasts who need rapid comfort, and people with sensitive skin who prefer fragrance-free options. It’s practical to keep in a beach bag, first-aid kit, or medicine cabinet for quick, localized relief when sun exposure goes too far.
