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.

Reviews
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet, it's been a holy grail for years!
This is my savior whenever I get sunburnt or when I can feel a surnburn starting to come on. I burn extremely easily because of my light skin and also no matter how much sunscreen I apply my face is extra sensitive to the sun. And when I burn it's not just painful it also itches like hell. This is so soothing and majorly reduces the itching on my face.
My only complain about this would be how it smells slightly of alcohol and evaporates quite quickly. I don't like products that contain alcohol because I feel like they're bad for my skin and sucks the moisture out.
It's also a great price for a huge tube which lasts me a whole summer.
Honestly I don't think there will be a time in my life where I don't use this. If you're a living ghost like myself then you'll know in the NZ sun it takes all of 2 seconds to turn full on beetroot - this stuff is the answer to all your prayers. Super moisturising, has an awesome cooling effect so you don't have to live in cold showers all summer, BONUS - made by the NZ cancer society so money goes back to charity! Doesn't have a gross smell, doesn't feel sticky when drying...

Tips: Leave this in the fridge for an extra cooling feel.
Got some of this last summer when I discovered that Solacaine no longer exists. That wonderful cold stuff in a spray can, it soothed all burns and itches. Why it's gone, I don't know, but this stuff from Cancer Society is a pretty good alternative.
Keep it in the fridge for maximum chill factor, and funtimes - the squeals are much louder from the person you put it on to!
It forms a layer on top of the skin & soothes instantly. You can wash it off if required, as it is a bit sticky when wetted later.
Tips: Keep in fridge
Must have for anyone who gets really badly burnt! cools and soothes sunburn so well. Applies really nice, doesn't feel oily or sticky. Can be a bit tacky on the skin but still works really well.
I am the type of pale where I am both translucent and reflective. I have to take sunscreen with me wherever I go in summer or I will go redder than a tomato. So the times that I get burnt, I will stick this in the fridge and apply at least twice a day. The relief is amazing, and it doesn't sting at all! I find that my burns don't blister as often and that they heal quicker. Highly recommend!
Tips: Stick it in the fridge, or freeze in a ice cube tray and rub over badly burnt areas.
I try to avoid getting burnt, but my skin is fair which means at least once a year I seem to get burnt without even trying.
Cancer Society's After Sun Gel is a great thing to have in the cupboard or in the fridge as a way to soothe and improve those burns. It instantly soothe the skin with its cooling gel, it also seems to reduce irritation and I swear then skin heals faster too. But that could just be me imagining things.
But it really is a great product for soothing and hydrating the skin.
Packaging-wise it comes in a tube that makes the product easy to get out and is easy to store. The packaging also looks soothing which adds to its appeal from a marketing point of view.
Tips: You don't have to be burnt to use it, it can also calm down other skin irritations or just cool down overheated skin.
Love the product, for the price and amount of quality I got I think it was totally well worth it. The gel has a nice cooling, rehydrating effect, which helped my skin feel refreshing. Love the product it is definitely well worth trying
This gel gives a nice, relieving cooling effect when applied to sun burn. It absorbs quickly into your skin. I always hope i wont need to use anything like this but on the odd occasion i do get burnt, this is my go to
Tips: Store in fridge for extra cooling
Unfortunately I was "blessed" with pale skin that burns easily if i'm not careful so I usually need up with sunburn at least a couple times every summer. My partner is a tradie so he works outdoors all day and is often burnt so this is a staple product in our home. It's super moisturizing and is very cooling/ soothing. Definitely a must have for every household.
