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 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.
This is so refreshing - you must try this: place in fridge and keep for every incase time you may need.
I love the smell and texture is good. Not overly sticky compared to cheaper ones
I know that you should not let sun exposure get to the point when you have had too much and you need to use an after sun product with aloe vera to help heal the burn. However, it’s easy to miss a patch of skin when you apply sunscreen, or to forget how long you have been in the sun. And when that happens it is great to have a well working product that you can rely on. The Cancer Society After Sun gel works really well to calm the skin when you have overdone it a bit in the sun. I generally prefer after sun gels with aloe vera to other after sun products as aloe vera helps with burns. It does not just make your skin temporarily feel better, it actually helps with skin repair after a burn. The gel has a really nice consistency and is not sticky like some other products with aloe vera. I also think the price is really fair, especially given that funds raised will go to the Cancer Society, and that this product is made in New Zealand. I usually try to buy NZ made products when possible, and this is definitely one that I will buy again.
I love this product!! It soothes the skin after a day in the sun and the days after as well. It does take a little while to dry but once it’s does it still soothes. It’s not sticky or messy and doesn’t smell either
This is lovely to use after a big day in the sun. It is cooling and soothing. It dries properly and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
Tips: Keep in the fridge which makes it even cooler on your hot skin.
After being outside on a hot day this is so cool and soothing on the skin. Its not heavy and the gel texture feels nice. Aloe Vera is just an amazing must have. It’s especially cooling if kept in the fridge.
I'm brown and I get burnt a little from the sun because here it's so harsh so when I forget sunscreen or I have a little burn I put it on and it keeps it cool even throughout the day putting a little on your shoulders and neck helps..
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.
