Such a soothing gel for mild sunburn i’ve always found. Doesn’t leave your skin feeling super heavy or coated afterwards & can ease pain pretty instantly.

Cancer Society After Sun Gel
Cooling, calming and rehydrating. Even well protected from harmful UV radiation, the skin still requires nourishment and rehydration after long periods of exposure to the elements. After sun moisturising gel with Aloe Vera will help bring back the skin’s moisture balance after exposure to the elements. The gel absorbs quickly, leaving your skin cool and re-nourished – no greasy feeling.

Tips: Keep in your fridge so it’s even cooler for when needed
We recently went to Fiji for a family holiday and as a last minute decision I decided to pack this after sun gel as a "just incase" item and boy was that the best decision ever.
We had a couple of days that the temperature got to 30° and applying this gel to our skin after getting out of the sun was an absolute life saver. It doesnt leave any icky residue after its soaked in. But it does feel a bit funny on your skin while its absorbing into your skin (totally worth it though). Even the next day when we were a bit red and burnt this after sun gel took the sting off the burn and made it feel way better.
Tips: In summer we always have a tube of this stored in our fridge to add to the cooling effect and it works wonders
This product is a must have in my house especially in the summertime. I keep it in the fridge so if I spend too much time in the sun or get a little burnt it is nice and cooling on my skin.
Tips: Keep it in the fridge for extra relief from sunburn
I am really pale so am usually very careful in the sun. Unfortunately every summer I get burnt at least once. I had been out and about in the sun and didn't realise how burnt I was until I got home.
It was quite painful so I popped down to the shop and saw this so decided to try it. It has a faint fresh scent and a thick gel consistency. It said to store in the fridge which I did, this made it feel so cooling when I applied.
It goes on smoothly and definitely soothes the sunburn, it takes away that horrible tight feeling. The best thing I loved about this was it stopped me peeling! The one thing I didn't like was that it left my skin feeling sticky which is a pet hate of mine. Overall it is great for sunburn and I will always have it in the fridge.
This is a welcome relief after you have that terrible feeling that you have burnt yourself in the sun! I have very fair skin so even when i am quite careful I can have the odd time that I get burnt. This feels so moisturising and cool on the skin. The cooling I find really important since the skin is still burning for some time. It is nice and thick so stays on the skin for a while, which I think is why it works so well. The only down side is that it is quite sticky and preferably it's probably best to not wear any clothes to get the full benefits. Also a little bit sticky and yuck if you do put clothes on.
Tips: Keep it in the fridge for extra cooling!
A summer essential that is always packed in my bag alongside my sunscreen. If you want it to be extra cold keep it in the fridge. I also use this to calm down other skin irritations as aloe vera is great for lots if things - not just sunburn.
Tips: Put some on as soon as you get out of the sun to keep your skin well moisturized - don't wait until you look burnt to start applying.
It’s always nice buying a product that does what it claims. This is no exception. Helps a lot after you spend too much time swimming and forgetting to reapply the SPF! Instant relief, for various degrees of sunburns and is something everyone should have in the cupboard , especially if you have kids.
Tips: Keep it in the fridge for added coolness!!
This product is an absolute life saver!! After getting a really bad sunburn over summer it helped to cool and sooth the burn as well helped to heal the burn. The aloe Vera in it helps a lot as well as the other vitamins in the product
I absolutely love this product! I always make sure I have some on hand and take it with me along with my sunscreens if am going away, even just for a day trip, as part of my first aid kit. It is just marvellous. Really helps calm down and rehydrate skin that has been slightly over exposed to the sun, and can greatly reduce the possibility of worse damage overnight and lessen peeling in my experience. I apply a lot, just keep coating it on. It just marvellous.
Tips: Apply it over and over, as much as you want to, then more the better I find. Once you have applied coat after coat a few times, it can become a bit sticky. So I tend to gently rinse the area with cold water and soft cloth and then immediately reapply more of the gel while skin in still moist and therefore more absorbent. Repeat process as necessary.
We had to get something urfently after my little girl burned in tha su we picked this up at countdown. We put it on her arms wland whitin minutes her armes was feeling better and the red even started to lift.
I was amazed at how good it worked. Her skin didnt flake or dry out too.
This is definitely recommended i make sure to have a bottle of it in the house now
