Cancer Society Standard SPF 30+ Sunscreen

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and used it all over my body as directed. I went to the beach a couple of days in a row with my body fully protected with this sunblock. I don't have any allergies, sensitive skin, dry skin or anything. The weekend after using this sunblock, My face started to dry and look HORRIBLE and flaky :-( A day later, My arms and legs started doing the same thing. It took a week of exfoliating and moisturizing for my skin to go back to normal.

It did the Job it promised though, it protected me from the sun and I didn't burn at all. But I don't think it was the right type for my skin so I stared using body moisturizers with strong SPF instead.

I really had high expectations for this sunscreen as it was Cancer Society but just felt it really wasn't that great. I tan really easily and really don't burn that easily and when I am burnt the next day I'm brown and thats what I get when I wear this sunscreen. I find I have to keep applying evey 30mins to hour to stop the kids from burning so actually don't use it anymore, ended up chucking it out. I thought the thickness was great, didn't come squirting out the bottle, spread nicely not too long to rub in and the smell is not overpowering just a nice creamy smell.

I give it a 5 for doing what it should, it protects from the sun and your safe from getting a sun burn but it's a really gross product I find.

It's really thick and smells incredibly strong. I feel like they've tried to give this a nice fragrance, but failed because mixed with the screen lotion its horrible.

It also is super greasy, and doesn't absorb into the skin easy either. I find I have to rub this is for a long while and sit in the sun for the sun to actually dry off a bit of that grease. Not something that you want to be doing.

And I don't recommend it for the face if you have oily skin. Whenever I used this on my skin, I would break out all over left and right.

I can say that the tiniest amount of product will do the biggest of jobs, although thats not quite how sunscreen works. It also comes in a huge bottle and can last you forever. It also doesn't leave your skin looking white and ghostly.

It was because of this sunscreen that I hated using sunscreen until I found a better brand.

my opinion is this is great for kids i remember always having this at school for when we had swimming days and it did its job. Not a big fan of the smell of it i think it is quite plan but i do like the amount you get in the bottle and in my opinion just great for the summer days when your hitting the beach with the family and need the biggest sunscreen for everyone to use.

I have quite sensitive skin so this product was not the greatest choice in sun screen. When I applied it I found it to be VERY oily and leave quite a lot of oil even after the 30mins. It did give me protection for the time allocated however. The packaging is great with advertising for the cancer foundation and proceeds going to them aswell is a given bonus. I would not however use this for myself, but use it daily in summer for the kids as it does a good job

Reasonable price and it does protect the skin from the sun. However, I still find it too sticky and greasy with a real sunblock smell. It also irritate the eyes if you apply it too close the the eye area. The other pet hate is that is discolours light coloured fabric clothing.

Although the product kept me from getting sunburnt in really harsh conditions, i found it very sticky, fat tectured, heavy, and oily. I wouldn't use it as an every day sunscreen for that reason; at least not on my skin type

I'm a huge fan on sunscreen, and use it religiously even in winter. Its an essential in my daily skincare routine, but have to admit in winter i only use it on my face since the rest of my body is all rugged up.

This used to be the only sunscreen i used, simply because it was the one my family used, and so it was accessible, and most importantly, brought for me.

It comes in navy blue packaging which is adorned with the cancer society logo, which i don't know about you, but it makes me think this is the real deal, and the best you can buy.

A bonus of this product is that is comes in heaps of different sizes, so is pretty easy to find one that suits your needs.

As for the product itself. Well it's okay, its white, and quite thick. It has the distinctive sunscreen smell which i don't overly mind. However, i do find the is a bit hard to rub into skin, its not a big deal but it just make it less convenient to use. Plus it doesn't absorb as quickly as i would like, and leaves that greasy feeling which i just don't like.

Another negative for this product is i once spilled some on my black jeans, and boy did it stain them. Its wierd because it hasn't stained any of my other clothes, but now im on the paranoid side when i use this product.

Overly, not my favourite sunscreen, in fact-no where near my favourite sunscreen. Won't be repurchasing this again unless im desperate.
